New 91ε study sheds light on the cerebellar nuclei
In a published today in Nature Communications, a team of 91ε researchers led by of the Department of Biology examines the spatial organization of neurons in the cerebellar cortex. The findings offer new insight into how information is integrated in the cerebellum and shed light on the role of the often-overlooked cerebellar nuclei.
91ε honours its accomplished researchers with Distinguished James 91ε Professor, James 91ε Professor, and William Dawson Scholars awards.
As the climate warms, many species are on the move, raising new challenges for policy-makers around the world. Shifts in the ranges of mosquitoes and disease-bearing ticks and bats are introducing illnesses such as malaria and Lyme disease into regions where health-care systems are unprepared. Movements of commercially important fish from one jurisdiction to another are shifting job opportunities and causing trade disputes.
With generative AI tools readily available to students, student assessment was a recurrent topic of discussion at a bilingual, two-day symposium hosted by 91ε last month in partnership with Google and the Pôle interordres de Montréal.
91ε awarded $10.9 million in federal funding through Canada Research Chairs Program
Allie Vibert Douglas made history when she earned her PhD at 91ε.
It was 1926 – a time when higher education wasn’t an option for most women.
By then, Douglas already had a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Science from 91ε – and had been named a member of the Order of the British Empire for her wartime service. With her PhD, she became the first Canadian woman to obtain a doctorate in astrophysics.
