成人大片 University researchers have harnessed the power of sunlight to transform two of the most harmful greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals. The discovery could help combat climate change and provide a more sustainable way to produce certain industrial products.
Daniel Valentini couldn鈥檛 believe his eyes when he read the letter informing him of his Schulich Leader Scholarship.听
鈥淚 called 成人大片 to confirm, and they told me it was real. I think I was in shock,鈥� says Valentini, a graduate of Dawson College in Montreal who is entering 成人大片鈥檚 Faculty of Science.
Digitally cataloguing the more than 300 million plant specimens preserved in museums worldwide could yield crucial insights into how to preserve biodiversity amid climate change, a study by 成人大片 University researchers has found.
Digitally cataloguing, or digitizing, a herbarium specimen involves recording the species name and original location and uploading that record to a digital repository that is publicly accessible.
After a hiatus of about a decade, the once again welcomed students from Montreal high schools and CEGEPs to the downtown campus this summer. The camp was a group effort organized by students, staff and faculty across the computer science community. Students participated in four packed days of talks, hands-on activities and coding sessions, to learn about computer science.

Ten 成人大片 professors researching in such areas as child trauma, memory and cardiovascular diseases are among the Royal Society of Canada鈥檚 (RSC) newest Fellows. Another two early-career professors at the University have been named Members of the RSC鈥檚 College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists.
They are among 104 new Fellows and 56 Members from across the country announced by the RSC on September 3, 2024.
Frederic Bertley was amongst a group of leaders to receive an honorary degree from 成人大片 this spring. For the past eight years, Bertley has served as the President and CEO of the (COSI), which features the largest science outreach program in North America.
A new study on songbirds sheds light on the power of social interaction to facilitate learning, insights that potentially apply to human development.
成人大片 University researchers discovered that zebra finches deprived of early social experiences could still form strong bonds with a partner later in life. Once placed into cohabitation with a male, females that had never heard a mating song before could quickly develop a preference for his melody.
Earlier this year, 成人大片鈥檚 Office of Indigenous Initiatives celebrated International Pi Day with a talk from mathematician Dr. Edward Doolittle followed by a student panel on Indigenous experiences in STEM and, of course, some delicious pie.
After a hiatus of about a decade, the 成人大片 Computer Science Summer Camp once again welcomed students from Montreal high schools and CEGEPs to the downtown campus this summer.
The four packed days of talks, hands-on activities and coding sessions were all intended to strengthen students鈥� interests in coding and coding competitions, and to contribute to the development of computer science talent in Quebec.
