Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, often leading to slower walking, difficulty maintaining rhythm, and increased risk of falls. This project investigates whether combining two approaches—transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, and rhythmic auditory stimulation using music—can help improve walking in individuals with PD. The […]

Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound is located just northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Historically the sound has been significantly impacted by human activities. Now it is experiencing ecological resurgence, and there is increasing interest in both greater understanding the sound and applying marine spatial planning (MSP). MSP allocates human activities in marine areas to achieve multiple objectives. […]

This project aims to develop a bovine cell bank using Alberta beef to support the production of cultivated meat, a sustainable alternative to traditional meat farming. Instead of raising and slaughtering animals, cultivated meat is created by growing muscle and fat cells in a laboratory, providing real meat with a smaller environmental footprint. The research […]

This second cycle of oral history interviews will continue to preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, chemical, dam, geotechnical, mechanical, nuclear and tunnelling engineering fields. As much as possible, […]

Loss of biodiversity is occurring at unprecedented rates with an estimated 1 million species facing global extinction. Canada has the second largest area of intact natural landscapes and, therefore, a responsibility and opportunity to be a global leader in biodiversity conservation. Yet, Canada is facing a biodiversity crisis that particularly targets reptiles, one of the […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est de valider une version modifiée de l’échelle Cognitions sur les Crimes Sexuels sur Internet (C-CSI) à une population adolescente québécoise; version intitulée Perception des adolescents à propos de comportements sexuels en ligne (PACSL). Plus précisément, les formes de validité suivante seront établies : Validité de surface et écologique, validité […]

Eastern Slopes Rivers (ESRs) of Canadian Rockies are fed by various water sources including surface runoff, snow- and ice-melt, and groundwater. The contributions of the water sources vary seasonally and over the decadal scale under a changing climate. Different water sources flow through different pathways having different geological interactions, and consequently different water geochemistry. Therefore, […]

Our objective is to compare the effects of fluid milk (2% and lactose-free) and a simulated milk beverage, with plant alternatives to dairy on management of insulin resistance in older adults 60-75 years. Dairy foods have a unique matrix and are a rich source of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Despite this, consumption […]

L’innovation est un élément clé dans le développement d’une société. Elle permet de trouver de nouvelles solutions pouvant répondre plus adéquatement et durablement aux besoins sociaux. C’est dans cette perspective que l’équipe de la Fondation de la Neurodiversité met sur pied le Centre d’innovation pour les enfants autistes. Les données probantes permettent d’observer qu’un travail […]

The APEGA Science Olympics is an annual competition that relies on a large volunteer base to evaluate student teams. Currently, the events use a paper-based judging process, distributing clipboards and scoring sheets to more than 100 judges to assess approximately 300 teams. After the event, all paper forms must be collected and manually entered and […]

This community-based research project will partner with Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) to identify how place-based community hubs – such as community centres, neighbourhood organizations, and frontline service non-profits – can catalyze equitable climate action. This project will help us understand how to address climate change equitably. Research has shown that climate action to date has […]

This community-based research project, undertaken through the U of T Climate Hub Catalyst Internship, partners with the Toronto Chinatown Land Trust (TCLT)-a community-controlled effort to build an inclusive, culturally competent, and ever-evolving Chinatown in Toronto. TCLT acquires, develops, and stewards land in perpetuity for community needs and benefit. Operating with the understanding that Chinatown exists […]
