The surge in options for online participation that accompanied the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was recognized by disability community members as a potential basis for accessibility gains, including in employment and education, where remote and hybrid access accommodations were previously characterized as impossible to implement. As much of the world has “returned […]

In 2010, ERA Architects initiated the Culture of Outports program that explores the adaptive reuse of outport communities scattered along the coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador. Culture of Outports uses research, design, and planning to foster livable communities in Newfoundland’s historic outports. The project proposes that an understanding of the unique history and character of […]

By 2050 the global population is projected to reach 9.8 billion, and food supply must sustainably scale to keep up with the population’s growing nutritional demand. Insects are rich in protein and require substantially less environmental resources compared to the standard protein sources of today, making them a promising food of the future. To optimize […]

Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algal bloom are becoming increasingly common. These blooms, when they reach significant magnitudes are referred to as Harmful Algal Blooms due to release of toxins such as microcystins which pose a threat to both humans and terrestrial fauna. These extensive blooms induce anoxic conditions within the lakes, resulting in impact son aquaculture […]

This project makes it possible for Canadian researchers to share secure and traceable datasets between large computing systems in Canada. These traceable datasets can be used to further reproducible science by allowing everyone in the scientific community to know where the dataset used for experiments is from and that it has not been altered. Traceable […]

The polymer (a large chain of molecules) under study is called poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). It has only two types of molecules (carbon and hydrogen) and is an amphiphillic copolymer, meaning it attracts both water and fat molecules. When temperature changes, this polymer can go from a liquid to a gel. This gel is unique, in […]
