Cancer cell 'suicide' aim of award-winning students

May 29th, 2014

Assisted suicide is topic guaranteed to court all kinds of controversy.

However one place where you’ll get general consensus on the matter is among the students working in the biochemistry lab of Siyaram Pandey, where rather than people, they help cancer cells commit suicide.

“One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is that they forget how to die,” says third-year undergrad Daniel Tarade. “We’re forcing their hand, and causing them to commit suicide.”

Students get Head Start on university experience

May 22nd, 2014

Julianna Schiller was looking forward to leaving home to go away for school—just not too far away.

“It’s far away enough to get away from home and have a new experience, but still close enough to come home,” the London, Ontario, student responded when asked why she chose the University of Windsor for first year criminology. “Plus they had the program I wanted, and it’s a really good school.”

Art exhibit challenges attachment to 'big ideas'

May 20th, 2014

In a world full of “isms,” it’s only natural to wonder if there’s a danger in becoming too attached to the ideals that drive our actions. But how simple is it for us to become distracted from the paradigms that seemingly define us? And as we go through life, how do we navigate our way through our own beliefs, and those of others, remaining grounded all the while?
