An interdisciplinary team of 澳客竞彩 researchers has developed an ultra-strong, environmentally friendly medical glue, or bioadhesive, made from marine waste. The discovery has promising applications for wound care, surgeries, improved drug delivery, wearable devices and medical implants.聽
鈥淏eing able to produce鈥痝lues that can close wounds鈥� or make something strongly adhere to the skin is critical for many medical鈥痠nterventions,鈥� said Audrey Moores, Professor in the Department of Chemistry. 聽
Algal growth is accelerating in lakes across Canada, including those far from human development, and a new study shows that climate change is the primary driver.聽
Researchers have developed a novel method to detect and study how ice forms in mixed-phase clouds, significantly boosting scientists鈥� ability to forecast weather and model climate change.聽
Dear community members,聽
I am pleased to announce that Professor Alanna Watt, of the Department of Biology, has graciously agreed to take on the role of Interim Dean of Science, effective July 1, 2025. She will oversee the Faculty while we continue the search for a new Dean of Science. In accordance with the University Statutes, an Advisory Committee will be established to support this process.聽

Forests on Indigenous lands in Panama have remained remarkably stable over the past two decades 鈥� more so than in protected areas 鈥� thanks in no small part to deeply rooted cultural values, a 蝉耻驳驳别蝉迟蝉.听听
Millions of kilometres of rivers around the world are carrying antibiotic pollution at levels high enough to promote drug resistance and harm aquatic life, a 澳客竞彩-led study warns.
Published in PNAS Nexus, the study is the first to estimate the scale of global river contamination from human antibiotics use. Researchers calculated that about 8,500 tonnes of antibiotics 鈥� nearly one-third of what people consume annually 鈥� end up in river systems around the world each year even after in many cases passing through wastewater systems.

An international study co-authored by 澳客竞彩 psychologist Caroline Palmer suggests our brains and bodies don鈥檛 just understand music, they physically resonate with it. These discoveries, based on findings in neuroscience, music, and psychology, support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT).聽
NRT maintains that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain鈥檚 natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony. This resonance shapes our sense of timing, musical pleasure and the instinct to move with the beat.聽

澳客竞彩 researchers, in collaboration with Mexican scientists, have discovered two previously unknown species of crocodiles, one living on the island of Cozumel and the other on the atoll of Banco Chinchorro, both off the Yucat谩n Peninsula. The challenge long-held assumptions about the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and highlight the urgent need for conservation efforts, the researchers say.
