The complex and very diverse world of fungi is often referred to as the fifth kingdom of organisms. It includes various yeasts, moulds and mushrooms. Today, a team of scientists from the University of Ottawa (uOttawa) has uncovered the genetic secrets of a mysterious fungi, revealing the presence of two distinct nuclear populations within them, each playing distinct roles in how they interact with...

More than ever, access to health care in French is a challenge for francophone minorities in Canada. Less than 1% of health-care professionals regularly speak French as part of their practice, according to a 2021 Statistics Canada study on language use in health care. Many francophones must therefore use their English to access health care.

Cameron Smith, a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education, recalls a childhood in Europe immersed in a linguistic “hat trick” of English, French and German. This early introduction to multiple languages, he says, evolved into a career teaching French as a second language (FSL) and fuelled a curiosity about teachers’ experiences using devices in the classroom.

In February 2024, the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) released an expert panel report on Canada’s STIK partnerships around the world. Navigating Collaborative Futures is an exploration of the evidence surrounding Canada’s global linkages with research, innovation, and knowledge, and offers commentary on how the country can better position itself in...

For a long time, it was thought that amorphous solids do not selectively absorb light because of their disordered atomic structure. However, a new uOttawa study disproves this theory and shows that amorphous solids actually exhibit dichroism, meaning that they selectively absorb light of different polarizations.
