“People with sleep apnea can wake up hundreds of times a night and they aren’t necessarily aware of it.” Breakthrough discoveries about how we breathe while asleep have led to promising results in a phase 3 clinical trial: https://t.co/rPlHDv1hq9 via @uoftnews @researchuoft
“There is an overwhelming perception in science that these bacteria have been mined completely dry — that we’ve found all there is to find. Our lab has found that this is not at all the case.” #antibiotics https://t.co/v0GvzCoFwM
Until now, much of the research into diseases like Parkinson’s has focused on what happens inside the brain, but progression of the disease occurs in other parts of the body years before: https://t.co/0IGNasAry3 via @mcmasteru
“I want queer scientists to see that they can be themselves in science. We benefit from people asking questions that others might not think to ask. We need that diversity.” https://t.co/P3Yx95bWbR via @uoftnews @researchuoft
“That we have found something so novel in one of the most abundant and well-studied groups of bacteria underscores how little we know about them. Bacteria are incredibly diverse organisms, with capabilities that continue to surprise us.” https://t.co/Wq4hTeduRf via @mcmasteru
“Our study asks the question whether there is such a thing as ‘too much��� exercise, and how early-life biological factors may shape the body’s response to extreme physical demands.” https://t.co/jTDOVrgY89 via @uvicnews
“We’re leveraging AI to dramatically speed up the drug discovery process, while simultaneously lowering the cost of this traditionally expensive research.” https://t.co/YNDRAjOBTO via @mcmasteru
The evolutionary genius of flowers was their ability to create entirely new partnerships between plants and animals: https://t.co/joufo8sUrT via @cbcnews@mcmasteru@ubcnews
Wars have massive greenhouse gas emissions. With no formal mechanism to record, report or attribute them, there's no accountability for the climate costs that affect people in conflict zones and far beyond: https://t.co/xST3wHtLPb via @conversationCA@uvicnews
