Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform how science and engineering is conducted and funded in Canada, bringing both tremendous opportunities and risks, according to a new expert panel report from the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA). AI has the potential to spur innovation and further scientific understanding beyond the limits of human abilities but could also deepen existing inequ...

Our U.S. neighbours have been lamenting the dissolution of their shared sense of reality for years. The trucker convoys that overtook Ottawa and several other Canadian cities this winter appear to have ushered in similar anxieties on this side of the border.

Two words: edible vaccines. They may seem like a pipe dream, but Department of Biology Professor Allyson MacLean and undergraduate researcher Monique Power have accomplished the first steps in bringing an edible vaccine to life … using the humble lettuce!

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts — the most efficient known — accelerating biochemical reactions in all forms of life. Due to their high catalytic efficiency and biodegradability, enzymes are used to accelerate reactions in a wide range of industrial processes such as pharmaceutical synthesis and food processing.
