A UWindsor biologist’s efforts to augment the restocking of millions of Chinook salmon in Lake Ontario have received funding from the provincial government for the next five years.
A group of artists from the collective Broken City Lab were busily creating a new installation in a courtyard in Windsor’s downtown core Tuesday afternoon.

It caught the attention of a passenger in a car cruising past on Ouellette Avenue, who stuck her head out the window and waved.
A UWindsor biology professor will discuss his efforts to support wild fish species struggling to survive when a community-based group dedicated to cleaning up the Detroit River meets on Wednesday night.
A graduate student and his team of researchers have turned the chemistry world on its ear by becoming the first ever to prove that tiny interlocked molecules can function inside solid materials, laying the important groundwork for the future creation of molecular machines.
