The hidden world of the Great Lakes will be revealed at the University of Windsor, where scientific instruments are being transformed into an immersive art installation.
Creative Currents: Art and Science on the Great Lakes is a collaboration between RAEON, the Regional Aquatic Environmental Observatory Network, and INCUBATOR Art Lab, bringing the lakes’ offshore monitoring systems onto shore, giving visitors a glimpse into the currents, cycles and microscopic life that usually go unseen.

Some farmed fish are snubbing commercial fish food pellets in favour of naturally and freely available microscopic organisms and invertebrates.
That is according to PhD candidate Dennis Otieno’s study which showed farmed tilapia in net-pen cages in Kenya were not significantly consuming the provisioned commercial fish feed – one of the highest costs of production.

The journey to becoming a leader and a researcher began when biochemistry major Nicole Vanier was in high school.
Having learned about the Outstanding Scholars program from her older sister, Jeannette Vanier (BSc ’23), she began to consider research, unsure of what to expect but open to the opportunities the program offered.

Mina Pairawan’s brain rarely takes a break, even when she is relaxing.
During her scarce downtime, the biomedical science major goes bouldering at a local rock-climbing gym with her friends.
From training in the dojo to Model United Nations, Outstanding Scholar Sohila Sidhu is balancing a lot.
At the same time, she is also laser-focused on a career in medicine.
This drive is part of what motivated Sidhu to become part of UWindsor’s Outstanding Scholars program, which facilitates research opportunities for high-achieving undergraduate students.
The Windsor-Detroit region has an extensive and rich history of cross-border connection, including as a key gateway in the Underground Railroad.
A pair of events next week highlight the longstanding international ties across the Detroit River and the role this region played in helping formerly enslaved people escape to freedom.

A rare and remarkable fishy find is turning heads at the University of Windsor’s Freshwater Restoration Ecology Centre (FREC).
Among thousands of newly hatched Chinook salmon eggs this fall, graduate students discovered a pair of conjoined twins—an uncommon phenomenon that occurs in just one in every 10,000 eggs.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade tensions, a University of Windsor poet penned a “border city love letter” inspired by the tensions and the people caught in the midst of it.
The poem A Body of Water Running by fourth-year student Trina Das, earned a spot on the 2025 CBC Poetry Prize longlist.
“Living in Windsor, right across the border, there’s all this political stuff going on, and we’re kind of ground zero for it because of how closely our economies are tied,” Das explained.

When Justin Bensette (BA ‘17, BSc ‘24, MSc ‘25) started his master’s research in economics, he wasn’t aiming to reinvent how people access health care.
But his curiosity about how patients make decisions — and how doctors respond — led him down a path that could inform future health policy.
