The Laurentian Great Lakes are pictured in this August 2010 NASA photo.
A scientist from the University of Windsor, in partnership with other researchers in the United States, have identified the five main challenges facing research in the Great Lakes.
Talbot Trail Public School Principal Chris Mills and University of Windsor's Shijing Xu participate in a Skype call with Ren He Jei Primary School in Chongqing, China.
On a rainy Tuesday evening, educators at Talbot Trail Public School sat in a semi-circle and fixed their gaze on a screen in the library.
Seven geometric shapes of various colours lay scattered in front of each person while on the other side of the world, educators in Chongqing, China began a lesson on Grade 2 arithmetic.
“This has been a life-changing experience for us,” said Talbot Trail principal Chris Mills.
“We are able to learn what works over there and they are learning what works over here.”
An African rhinoceros is pictured in this handout photo.
It is so coveted that it’s worth more than its weight in gold.
Its intended use has long been proven ineffectual, and yet the demand is contributing to the obliteration of a species.
The illegal trade of rhinoceros horn in Africa is fraught with controversy and two University of Windsor business students have become engrossed in the issue.
“It’s just not fair to these animals,” said master of business administration student Fred Wilkins.
University of Windsor engineering professor Kemal Tepe is pictured in the Wireless Communication and Information Processing Lab.
Positioned in the middle of Narayan Kar’s lab sits an electric motor from the Ford Motor Company: a machine that had been scrutinized by researchers and engineers for countless hours.
Yet, the University of Windsor engineering professor has set out to take that motor and make it even better.
“Our work will never end and this will always be an open-ended problem,” said Dr. Kar. “There will always be an opportunity to make them lighter, compact and more efficient.”

UWindsor biology associate professor Dan Mennill records the acoustic communication of a Savannah Sparrow on Kent Island.
A team of UWindsor researchers is on a remote island on the East Coast studying the sounds and appearance of the savannah sparrow.
Robert Wilson performs a leg extension at the St. Denis Centre as part of the Adapted Physical Exercise (APEX) program coordinated by PhD student Kelly Carr in partnership with Community Living Essex County.
Kelly Carr wants to destroy barriers.
That’s why her research as a PhD student at the University of Windsor has worked to showcase the strengths of people with disabilities to combat the negative stigma that often follows them throughout their lives.
Carr’s research is broken into three phases and examines how people with an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participating in a physical exercise program, meaningful employment and elite sports can influence opinion.
The Storytellers competition challenges students to explain how SSHRC-funded research is making a difference in the lives of Canadians.
UWindsor's Allison Gray and Ayesha Mian Akram were among the five winners of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's Storytellers contest.
