Majestic, immense, and extinct — mammoths were not expected to have walked almost twice the circumference of the Earth over the span of their lives. This is what a team of scientists co-led by Professor Clément Bataille found when analysing an Arctic woolly mammoth tusk.

In a world increasingly shaken by crises and polarized debate, science is more critical than ever, and the concept of scientific diplomacy is taking on added importance. Bolstered by collaboration in place for more than 20 years now, the University of Ottawa and the Embassy of France in Canada are launching a brand-new research chair in scientific diplomacy aimed at shedding light on and examining...

Tens of millions of years ago, the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided, giving rise to the Alps – a mountain belt stretching across much of southern Europe and reaching heights in excess of 4 km. Tectonic collision pushed rocks to >75 km depths, and a short time later the rocks returned to the surface. In the Austrian Alps, large-scale stretching of the plates led to the formation of ...

This research should have a far-reaching impact: it allows scientists to forge valuable carbon-carbon bonds used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and beyond.
A team of scientists from the University of Ottawa has developed an innovative technique to manufacture complex chemical structures from easily accessible substrates, making it one of the simplest and most practical metho...

The newly discovered gene variant could contribute to high rates of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Inuit populations.
Researchers at the CHEO Research Institute and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have discovered a previously unidentified gene variant that causes Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), which is present in Inuit populations in both Nunavut and N...

From cognitive impairment to heart failure, brain and heart conditions pose one of the world’s biggest health-care challenges, exceeding all others in so-called “disease burden” and mortality rate. In Canada, the economic cost of heart disease, stroke and dementia alone is over $55 billion per year, and rising.
