The objective of this Master’s project is to model and map […]

Global production and subsequent waste of plastic products, like those in synthetic clothing, has been growing at an exponential rate over the last several decades. Researchers have found polyester microfibers of textile origin in pristine waters of the Arctic Ocean. However, we do not yet know the specific harms caused by these microfibers to ocean […]

Global production and subsequent waste of plastic products, like those in synthetic clothing, has been growing at an exponential rate over the last several decades. Researchers have found polyester microfibers of textile origin throughout the ocean, including the deep ocean and pristine waters of the Arctic Ocean. However, we do not yet know the specific […]

The impacts of this species […]

The research project will focus on the development of assisted reproductive technologies for Canadian snakes at risk of extinction. Assisted reproductive research include studies focused on increasing the fecundity or reproductive success of a species; many technologies such as artificial insemination are well developed for mammals. In contrast, studies on augmenting snake reproductive success are […]

[…]

Il existe un vide de connaissances scientifiques autour de l’utilisation des hologrammes et de la réalité virtuelle à des fins pédagogiques, notamment pour l’enseignement au secondaire. À l’inverse, les savoirs débordent sur les impacts relatifs à une utilisation excessive des écrans chez les adolescents, mais peu d’étude tente de les contrer par une mobilisation concrète. […]
