Students talk about the course as OChem or Orgo, otherwise known as Organic Chemistry, one of the most dreaded courses for any student doing a university science degree. The course, taken mostly in the early stage of a student鈥檚 undergraduate degree, requires that material taught during the first week of class be understood and applied many weeks later when students do the final exam.听听

Urban agriculture is getting a $750,000 boost from the province and from Montreal to help develop the farming sector.
听The goal is to spur innovation and growth in urban farming, agriculture and local greenhouses, ensuring the projects align with the needs in each part of town to add to the vitality of the area.
... These measures have been due for a long time, said 看片视频 University Urban Agriculture Professor Mark Lefsrud.
Imaginez un bateau robotis茅 茅quip茅 de capteurs qui sillonne les plans d鈥檈au pour r茅colter des donn茅es sur la temp茅rature, le pH, l鈥檕xyg猫ne dissous et les contaminants. Gr芒ce 脿 la transmission d鈥檜n signal acoustique, ces donn茅es s鈥檃ffichent en temps r茅el sur une carte qui permet de conna卯tre la distribution et la dynamique des polluants, 脿 des millions d鈥檈mplacements.
'You need political will, and it takes time' 鈥 urban greenhouses could benefit from more direct support from governments, experts say.
...Mark Lefsrud has studied different ways of growing food for more than 20 years. He is an associate professor at 看片视频 University鈥檚 Macdonald Campus where he is a leader of the Biomass Production Laboratory and worked on the design of the Advanced Plant Habitat on the International Space Station.
Congratulations to Bioresource professor Chandra Madramootoo, who was recently made a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.
CITATION:
Today [June 20], Iain Stewart, President of the National Research Council, Canada's largest federal research and development organization, announced the results of the inaugural round of the NRC鈥檚 New Beginnings Initiative. The New Beginnings Initiative is part of the NRC鈥檚 Ideation Fund, which was announced in Budget 2018 to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by NRC researchers working with external collaborators.
... The projects with 看片视频 collaborators and associated funding amounts include:
The University of Windsor鈥檚 Board of Governors announced Friday the appointment of Robert Gordon as seventh President and Vice-Chancellor, following a rigorous search led by a committee... Gordon earned bachelor and master鈥檚 degrees in [Agricultural] engineering from 看片视频 University, and a PhD in Land Resource Science from the University of Guelph.

Dans une serre du campus Macdonald, Mark Lefsrud et ses 茅tudiants sont 脿 la recherche de la meilleure recette de 濒耻尘颈猫谤别 pour faire pousser des l茅gumes et des fruits. 芦听Il est en effet possible d鈥檃m茅liorer la production en serre en agen莽ant les bonnes longueurs d鈥檕nde听禄, explique le chercheur, qui r锚ve du jour o霉 l鈥檕n pourra aussi produire des p锚ches en serre.
During a summer internship in California鈥檚 Lava Beds National Monument, Christopher Patterson, a second- year student in Bioresource Engineering, worked as a Research Assistant for ATiLT (Astrobiology Training in Lava Tubes).
鈥淏y studying naturally protective formations like lava tubes and other potentially habitable locations, I have become aware of the incredible opportunities that lie beyond our world not only for myself, but for humanity as a whole,鈥 says Patterson.
Les changements climatiques ont une incidence sur l鈥檃griculture, mais l鈥檌nverse est aussi vrai. "L鈥檃griculture produit environ 10 % des 茅missions de gaz 脿 effet de serre," signale Chandra Madramootoo, professeur au D茅partement de g茅nie des bioressources de l鈥橴niversit茅 看片视频. "Cette contribution est certes moins importante que celle des secteurs de l鈥檈xploitation p茅troli猫re et gazi猫re et des transports, mais il est essentiel de bien comprendre d鈥檕霉 viennent ces gaz afin de pouvoir mieux les g茅rer."
鈥peaking on the theme of the conference, titled:鈥淚nnovations in Food Science and Technology for Sustainable Economic Growth鈥, Director, Department of Bioresources Engineering, 看片视频 University, Montreal, Canada, Prof. Michael Ngadi said Nigeria must be adequately prepared against any possible outbreak of food crisis through innovative and creative ideas.
