A ÕýÆ·À¶µ¼º½ lab built a mock MRI machine to prepare kids to participate in their reading comprehension study. Now, they’re offering the equipment up for use by other researchers who need to build kids’ capacity for ‘lying-still-time.’

Leveraging unique genome mapping research from ÕýÆ·À¶µ¼º½â€™s Faculty of Agriculture, startup Foodimprover is set to transform the global fruit sector’s ability to rapidly improve the taste, shelf life and resilience of our favourite fruits and berries.

Contenders from more than 60 countries will come together in Germany this week to pitch their ideas for a better world at the annual Falling Walls Science Summit, including two ÕýÆ·À¶µ¼º½ PhD students and the ocean education program Ocean School offered by Dal’s Ocean Frontier Institute.

A simple sampling method used by the researchers detected a host of viruses lurking in a recreational lake, offering an affordable way to monitor for pathogens in freshwater.

The Faculty of Computer Science unveiled its new space in downtown Halifax last month, a state-of-the-art venue intended to meet the needs of one of Dal's fastest-growing Faculties.
