Today’s Canadian children and youth are bigger, weaker and less fit than they were a generation ago. Only 5% of children and youth meet the recommended Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines while spending 8.6 hours per day in sedentary pursuits. These results suggest that Canadian children today do not have the capacity to achieve and maintain […]

ICG has developed proprietary LiDAR based software to quantify carbon sequestration in every individual tree across large landscapes. This technology promises to bring unbiased and verifiable accounting to the rapidly evolving forest carbon offset sector. The Intern will work with ICG software developers to incorporate and optimize allometric equations for specific areas of interest. The […]

Cyanoborate anions, negatively charged B–CN compounds, have been well established as important building blocks in metal organic frameworks, room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL’s), and part of metal complexes. RTIL are particularly important in green chemistry, because of absence of any toxic vapours, and in photovoltaic cells, to name only a few applications. Certain cationic species, such […]

The discovery of CRISPR-based gene therapy methods using viral vectors, and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines based on lipid nanoparticle formulations has revolutionized the field of personalized medicine, and promises revolutionary applications for curing cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases on the molecular level. To facilitate the validation of new therapies, biopharma companies use analytical ultra-centrifugation (AUC) to […]

This project is going to evaluate an experimental media for improved detection of pathogenic E. coli, the same type of E. coli that led to the recent outbreak in Calgary daycares that affected approximately 320 children. We will be rigorously testing the new media by evaluating the abundant E. coli present in the feces of […]

The project involves detailed planning and mapping of the Cattle Health Management (CHM) organization’s data systems and designing and planning an application, data portal, and database infrastructure. We will start by analyzing the current data processes to create a structured map that guides the integration of advanced database technologies. This includes the creation of APIs […]

It’s estimated that more than half of all fish species in Canada are threatened by anthropogenic pressures, including pollution. Two chemical classes that are ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers (BUVSs) – can cause toxicity to early life-stages of fishes by activating of the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor protein. […]

The proposed research project aims to explore and study natural substances called antioxidants that can be found in plants native to Canada. Antioxidants from plants are natural products that promote wellness by protecting our bodies from harmful molecules called free radicals. Certain plants that flourish under the conditions found in the Canadian prairies are likely […]

Cancel culture has rapidly developed into a social phenomenon sweeping through the internet as a new-age moral enforcement mechanism. When individuals call out others for their actions (past or present), they are attempting to bring attention to said others in order to bring about a form of justice. As social media has provided a medium […]

Sexy Shroom is a mushroom extract supplement created by Mycos to increase the sex drive and sexual function of men. Specifically, Sexy Shroom helps older men with erectile dysfunction by alleviating the three factors that induce erectile dysfunction (ED): endocrinological factors (i.e. Low testosterone), neurogenic factors (i.e. psychosomatic factors), and vasculogenic/metabolic factors (e.g. atherosclerosis, diabetes, […]

Collaboration and Capacity building are required to engage with the challenges and benefits of technical expertise within, and available to, municipal politics and policy, the challenges and benefits of both representative and direct democracy, and the existence of multiple sources of knowledge, including the social sciences, Indigenous knowledges, and local knowledge. This project is the […]

According to the literature, up to 75% of all fungicide applications are either off-target or are applied where no disease is present. Paramoria Agri-Science aims to reduce that by providing farmers with real-time monitoring of disease-causing spore populations, such that pesticides are applied on an as-needed basis, rather than as-feared. Currently, Paramoria uses quantitative polymerase […]
