Reactive nitrogen emissions contribute to greenhouse gases, as well as air and water pollution. For the first time, researchers from 鶹AV have calculated Canada’s nitrogen footprint (akin to a carbon footprint) – at both national and provincial levels. They looked at the three primary sectors that contribute nitrogen to the environment to calculate the annual average nitrogen footprint: food production and consumption, wastewater treatment, and fossil fuel use. There were some surprises when they analyzed their results.

Will classes be in-person? How do labs work? How will I make friends? How do I keep up with so many courses? These are some of the questions that students have as they prepare for their first year at 鶹AV. On June 11, 2021, the Office of Science Education’s Incoming Students Panel brought together professors, current studentsand staff to respond to these questions and give around 300 incoming students a sneak peek of the school year to come.

Researchers at 鶹AV have shown that a brain cell structure previously thought to be pathological in fact enhances cells’ ability to transmit information and correlates with better learning on certain tasks.

In a study published in Nature Communications, the team investigated swellings that occur in the axons of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. In results that contradict established expectations, they found that axons with swellings did a better job of conducting electrical signals than those without.
