There is certainly a lot going on in the name of “research culture change” with activities aimed...

COP 28 delivered a compromise deal that disappointed scientists but we are expanding opportunities for YorkU to participate in UN Climate Change spaces

You may have stumbled across recent newspaper articles stating that 2023 was the hottest year on record since humans have tracked temperatures. Should you be alarmed? Without a doubt, yes, especially since scientists have long warned about these climatic changes if greenhouse gas emissions were not curbed. The planet's main hope for slowing anthropogenic...

This time of year in the northern hemisphere, when temperatures drop and the sun is shining, we get the opportunity to take some beautiful photos such as this one of partially frozen soap bubbles taken by Peter von Bagh: The play of light, the ice forming from nucleation points, wave interference effects in the thin...
