MoreFriday, November 13, 2020Chemistry’s David McMullin and Amy Rand Receive CFI Funding to Support Research Benefiting All CanadiansMcMullin and Rand are among several other Carleton researchers who received funding from CFI’s JELF earlier this year for their work on manufacturing nanoparticles, understanding how animals fly, monitoring water pollution, and strengthening endangered languages.... MoreTuesday, September 22, 2020Biochemistry Professor Kenneth Storey Speaks on Animal Hibernation in this Published Article with CBC RadioBiochemistry Professor Kenneth Storey from the Storey lab. Comments on hibernating tendencies, and certain rehabilitating traits some animals go through once they are through hibernating in a CBC radio article. When ground squirrels emerge in the spring after hibernating all winter, their guts shrink to about half their original weight, but their... MoreTuesday, September 22, 2020Biochemistry Professor Myron Smith Receives a Write-Up in the Canadian Science Publishing BlogBiochemistry Professor Myron Smith of the Smith lab, has a paper published with the Canadian Science Publishing. The paper touches on volatile organic compounds, and whether or not they can save bats from white-nose syndrome. The white-nose syndrome fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, colonizes the skin of hibernating bats, leading to... MoreMonday, September 21, 2020Biochemistry Professor David Miller Mentioned in Ottawa Citizen Piece on Hospital Workers and Their Efforts to Protect Themselves with N95 MasksOne of the country’s top arbitrators has been asked to settle a pandemic-related grievance filed by Almonte General Hospital health care workers, who want N95 respirators made available to them. The hospital now issues N95 masks only to staff involved in aerosol-generating medical procedures, such as intubations. Biochemistry Professor David... MoreMonday, September 21, 2020Biochemistry Professor Kenneth Storey Publishes an Article on how Jumbo Squids Survive Freezing Cold Oxygen-Deprived WatersBiochemistry Professor Kenneth Storey from the Storey Lab , has a piece published on squids and their ability to survive the worst of conditions. Genetic regulation is behind the seasonal hibernation of bears, allows many species to survive in low- or no-oxygen environments and lets others withstand extreme dehydration. It even allows some... MoreMonday, September 21, 2020Congratulations Assistant Professor Jenny Bruin Receives 2020 Carleton University Teaching AwardAssistant Professor Jenny Bruin from the Bruin lab, has received the New Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award. This award was given due to her great energy and excitement she has dedicated to her teaching.... MoreThursday, September 10, 2020Biochemistry Professor Amy Rand Focuses Research on PollutantsBiochemistry Professor Amy Rand from the Rand lab , combines environmental chemistry—the study of how chemicals move through and interact with our environment, whether outside or inside our homes—with toxicology. Proffesor Rand's particular focus is on a class of pollutants called poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, which have rung... MoreThursday, September 10, 2020Biology Instructor Martha Mullally Speaks on Shifting to Online LearningMartha Mullally, an Instructor in the Biology department; talks about the shift in preparation from delivering in class programs, to online class programs. “We imagine that in order for somebody to come to your class, they need to come in person. But in this case, you know that colleagues in England or Australia are... MoreFriday, August 28, 2020Associate Professor Alex Wong Works Towards Creating Reusable Masks During Covid-19 PandemicBiochemistry Professor Alex Wong, from the Experimental Molecular Evaluation lab, is working on a unique research initiative to decontaminate medical face masks. Professor Wong, combines ultraviolet light technology on masks that have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus. Professor Wong, came up with this idea when there was a substantial concern... MoreMonday, August 10, 2020Dr. Kyle Biggar Contributes Towards COVID-19 Research Relief EffortsThis COVID contribution is an initiative of the combined research labs of Dr. James Green, professor in the department of Systems and Computer Engineering, and Dr. Kyle Biggar, professor in the Institute of Biochemistry. Dr. Kyle Biggar explains his experiences during his research. Biggar also credits Carleton University as a big help in... MoreTuesday, July 28, 2020Congratulations to Our 2019-20 Biochemistry TA Excellence Award Winner!The Biology Department awards 1 TA Excellence Award as one of the ways we acknowledge the efforts and contributions of our teaching assistants in both Biology and Biochemistry.
