Striped bass invaded Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador in August 2017 and were identified to feed on Atlantic salmon and capelin; two important fishes to NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC). This project aims to sample striped bass in Labrador to identify what it is consuming. We will combine traditional stomach content morphological identification with a new approach […]

Understanding that art galleries must position themselves as open learning communities, the MacKenzie Art Gallery (MAG) proposes internships in Indigenous and new curatorial practices. Canadian cultural institutions have long considered themselves above the political. However, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action have posed challenges to art institutions and their leaders are now […]

As part of Envirosoil’s re-usable energy division in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, drilling fluid waste product will be re-purposed as a potentially viable fuel supplement and additive in other industrial processes. The proposed research would look into viable options for reusing this material in a way that is commercially beneficial to the current operations, while […]

Inuit have the right to food, culture, and economic opportunities, and the seal harvest can help to support these rights. However, resultant international bans from anti-sealing campaigns have undermined the Inuit economy and imposed hardships on Inuit communities. In an effort to improve market access for Inuit seal products, the Canadian Government established the Certification […]

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are validated questionnaires with which respondents self-report their health status. This may include symptom severity, functional status, and quality-of-life data. PROMS are an increasingly important part of the communication between a patient and their healthcare team. Beyond the individual encounter, PROMs data is also critical to healthcare systems providing more personalized […]

Kings Distributed Systems (KDS) is working with researchers at Queen’s University to break down barriers to the development of powerful machine learning applications by using distributed computing. By connecting any device – everything from smartphones to enterprise servers – and harnessing their excess power to complete tasks, the Distributed Compute Protocol (DCP) substantially reduces costs […]

The Beaver Hills Biosphere is a newly established biosphere reserve that needs to communicate why it is a special place to its residents and visitors. The UNESCO Biosphere program wants biosphere reserves to promote the exchange and transfer of knowledge on environmental problems and solutions, and to foster environmental education for sustainable development. Research related […]

The intern will be part of the ATCO Electricity Innovation Team and will support in delivering novel next generation prototypes that will define the future of the electricity grid in Alberta, broader Canada and globally.

The gut-brain axis is being heavily explored in current neuropsychiatric research. Evidence has shown considerable individual variability in bacterial content of the gut microbiota, which is hypothesized to influence brain function. Preclinical and clinical research examining this relationship suggests that fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) may aid in improving depression and anxiety symptoms by recolonizing the […]

Tributaries adjacent to greenhouse operations in Leamington, Ontario were found in 2012 to have elevated levels of phosphorus. The objective of this research is to identify the source of elevated nutrients in greenhouse ponds by collecting water and sediment samples over the course of 2 years. These samples will be analyzed to find linkages between […]

How to build a medical education ecosystem and improve the learning outcome? Currently a medical education system based on mixed reality is missing and bad user interfaces can leave students confused and struggling instead of learning efficiently. The goal of this project is to leverage mixed reality technology, develop a medical education system, and make […]
