Picture this: a sterile laboratory littered with microscopes and ancient crumbling tomes. A coterie of distinguished, esteemed individuals garbed in patched tweed-jackets and white lab coats huddled close together, their faces scrunched in deep consternation as one points to a board riddled with incomprehensible equations, indecipherable diagrams, and indeterminable stoicism. This is research, right? Nope….

Food researchers from around the world gathered at Dawson
May 23rd, 2024
Industrialized food production and international food supply chains significantly increase food insecurity, worsen environmental degradation, and lead to inadequate livelihoods especially for women and youth. Food systems have the potential to be multi-functional levers for change. Small-scale, Indigenous, and traditional approaches can offer needed solutions for transformation.
Last week at 成人黑料, a group of food researchers from Kenya, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and other parts of Canada met each other for the first time as part of a new major international project to identify, measure, and tell the stories of regional sustainable food systems. The project is called FLOW (Food, Learning and Growing) Partnership: Seeding Sustainability Transformation.

Internship: The Bridge from Campus to Career
November 29th, 2023
You have probably never heard of Victoria Christensen. Why would you? She鈥檚 not a graduate of 成人黑料 but of the Washington State University College of Nursing. So why are we mentioning her name? Victoria was the subject of a that听chronicles the experience of a nursing student who entered a baccalaureate program using a wheelchair.
It makes one wonder what her journey would look like if she were a student in the 成人黑料 Nursing Class of 2026. As researchers from the Adaptech Research Network, we became curious about the internship experiences of students with disabilities enrolled in 成人黑料 health-related, social service and community recreational leadership programs 鈥� how inclusive are they?
Fortunately, we were able to secure funds through Entente Canada-Qu茅bec (ECQ) that allowed us to conduct an extensive literature review and interview key stakeholders, including students and faculty internship supervisors听from a variety of programs, along with AccessAbility staff.

Students share summer neuroscience research projects at Montreal labs
November 9th, 2023
Thirteen Dawson students spent their summer working on real research projects in various fields of neuroscience.
There were eight projects in partnership with Polytechnique/Ste-Justine, MNI, Douglas Institute, McGill departments of Physiology and of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. According to Neuroscience Research Group coordinator H茅l猫ne Nadeau: 鈥渟ome projects used images from dMRI, EEG, MRI, fMRI, MR spectroscopy, or PET modalities to probe questions related to the health of neonates, to audition in the normal population, or to pathologies such as schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, or Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.
鈥淥ther听projects relied on experiments on mice or rats, to better understand physiological mechanisms related to pathologies. In the course of the academic year, several teams worked on a large array of projects combining behavioural and EEG data.鈥�
Three of the students shared their projects in interviews with the Communications Office. Visit the Read More link to see their projects and interviews.
