Making a New Year’s resolution is one thing, but emblazoning it on the front of a t-shirt to tell the rest of the world about how you’re planning to improve takes it to a whole new level of commitment, according to Justin Langlois.
“So often New Year’s resolutions become a token rather than something we invest in,” said the assistant professor in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and founding member of the artist collective known as Broken City Lab.
Having full access to one of the top materials sciences facilities in Canada is akin to visiting an unlimited scientific smorgasbord for Javad Samei.
“It’s like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet,” the PhD candidate in materials engineering enthused yesterday after the university signed a collaborative research agreement that will allow its students and faculty to use the CanmetMATERIALS laboratory in Hamilton, ON.
The Centre for Research in Reasoning, Argumentation and Rhetoric (CRRAR) is offering two Graduate Student Fellowships in the Winter semester 2013. Conditions and description are as follows:
The University of Windsor Centre for Career Education, in partnership with St. Clair College, is holding a job fair for students and alumni of both institutions on Tuesday, January 22, at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts.
A biology researcher hopes her studies will result in fewer brain cancer related deaths among children.
Elizabeth Fidalgo da Silva, a research associate and adjunct professor in Biological Sciences, is studying the role that a protein called tuberin plays in suppressing medulloblastoma, the most prevalent of all childhood brain cancers. Brain cancer remains the second-leading cause of cancer related death in children under 19 and the third leading cause in young adults between 20 and 39.
UWindsor Frost Week, sponsored by the UWSA, returns for its second year, welcoming students back to campus for the winter semester.
While her findings are still very preliminary, a UWindsor biology student has found that newly reconstructed wetlands in the oil sands of Alberta support a greater variety of bird species than their natural, old-growth counterparts.
Masters student Sheeva Nakhaie has been tracking birds in the area of Fort McMurray over the last three summers, counting species in existing boreal forests, as well as in those wetlands that have been mined for bitumen by petroleum companies and then restored to their original conditions.
While government belts may be tightening, there are still plenty of new and untapped sources of research funding, especially for those able to clearly demonstrate their work has relevance for their surrounding community and industries, according to Michael Siu.
