Storm watch: @globeandmail science journalist @IvanSemeniuk did a deep dive with the @westernuEng team and the partners behind the new Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory (@westernuCSSL) launched this week. 🌪️⛈️ https://t.co/2wyPM0h87Y
The Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory has officially launched at #WesternU. Backed by 60 years of expertise in wind engineering and climate resiliency—and a $20M gift from ImpactWX—it will revolutionize how we understand and prepare for Canada’s most extreme #weather. 🌩️ 🌪️
In this front-page story, the @TorontoStar profiled a team of #WesternU researchers uncovering the stories of those buried in an unmarked section of an Ingersoll cemetery. It's part of a quest to restore dignity to some of Ontario’s forgotten. @cwilliamg

In an effort to memorialize those laid to rest in an unmarked cemetery section called the “potter’s field," a team of #WesternU historians and archaeologists is exploring their life stories. @westernuSocSci

In the largest field study of its kind, researchers at #WesternU have shown #probiotics for #honeybees help ward off disease and promote hive health. Next, they are exploring how probiotics influence bees’ social behaviour, including foraging and hygiene. https://t.co/kqKnYGbHRU
"@westernuNTP has tracked more 🇨🇦 #tornadoes than ever before."
Featured in the @nytimes, #WesternU researchers are working to provide accurate tornado data that will have an impact on improving warning systems and building #resilient communities. https://t.co/0zrPz9zodd
#VirtualReality is a useful research tool with many real-world applications — but it's not always an accurate representation of reality, according to a new @CulhamARI_Lab study. #WesternU#VR
This article was so much fun to write! It's amazing to look back on the shows I loved as a kid and realize we were duped into watching a commercial. As prof. Purac says, "there wasn’t even time for us to blink and collect ourselves; we were too busy collecting the toys.”
Most don’t realize the #cartoons they grew up watching were designed with one purpose: to sell toys. @westernuFIMS prof Selma Purac sat down with voice actor Eric Bauza to talk about consumerism in kids' TV as part of a new @CBCGem series @StayToonedTV. https://t.co/nqobJtuSYW
#SchulichMedDent is “uniquely positioned” in Canada to fight off future health threats thanks to $16M in federal funding to expand the ImPaKT biocontainment facility.

#WesternU's Gordon Osinski @drcrater is leading scientific efforts to design and build Canada’s first lunar rover. “Many students, faculty & staff will play a part in this historic mission as we bring Canada and Western to the #Moon.” @Canadensys1@csa_asc https://t.co/KUYq9P44a7
A new large-scale #longCOVID study led by @Comadork and @conorwild shows significant impairments in reasoning, speed of thinking and verbal abilities in patients with confirmed cases. #WesternU
#WesternU is home to the only facility in Canada that can generate large weather systems in a controlled environment. Check out this amazing video that provides an insider's look at the WindEEE dome! https://t.co/oiOgKJHA4S via @YouTube
Professor Cody Groat spoke to the @nytimes about the importance of repatriating Indigenous artifacts from the Vatican. @westernuHistory @cwilliamg #papalvisit#WesternU https://t.co/KSCr02gq4I
Using innovative imaging techniques, researchers at @SchulichMedDent have identified for the first time, that debilitating symptoms associated with #LongCovid are related to issues with how oxygen is exchanged from lungs to the blood.

It’s true, #WesternU is hosting the 57th @USPORTSca Vanier Cup! 🏆
