McGill researchers have developed a new way to study why the same heart-failure treatment can help some patients recover while others continue to get worse.

Combining “heart-in-a-dish” technology with advanced microscopy, the approach makes it possible to identify differences between patients that would probably be missed using conventional methods.

October 30, 2026 | Anil Wasif MPP '21 published an article in Policy Magazine on the Canada-EU Summit, where Prime Minister Mark Carney is meeting with senior European Union officials to discuss the future of Canada's relationship with Europe.

Professors Mette Bendixen and Bernhard Lehner of McGill’s Department of Geography are co-authors of a new study in Science that maps how 45 human-driven threats affect more than 21,000 freshwater species worldwide, from fish and amphibians to dragonflies. Working with a team from across McGill, the researchers produced 225 maps showing that farming, dams and agricultural runoff are the biggest threats to freshwater biodiversity, with Europe and Northwest Africa the hardest-hit regions.

Halloween costumes may be a short-lived tradition, but their environmental impact can last much longer. Speaking to Global News, Professor Javad Nasiry encourages consumers to think beyond a single use when purchasing costumes, many of which are made from synthetic materials such as polyester.

A 22-year analysis of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZ Super), which invests government contributions to help finance the country’s future retirement costs, offers rare evidence that an institutional fund can consistently add value over a simple reference portfolio.

Katrin Tinn, Associate Professor at McGill Desautels, says the technology could create more room for competition, innovation and new financial services. Designed to process payments instantly and operate around the clock, the system could also connect with emerging European infrastructure.

At a recent meeting between First Nations leaders and Canada's first ministers, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called on the federal government to repeal the Indian Act.
