Researchers including Dr. Julio Mercader @UCalgaryArts have discovered the earliest evidence of human activity associated with paleohabitats at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Oldupai Gorge -- congratulations on the Nature @nresearchnews article: https://t.co/EMzc8JBEXe
Research operations at @usask remain active. The SSSC is open and instruments are limited to trained users only. Disinfectants are available near instruments if needed. Staff are limiting contact with users, but can be contacted by phone or email if issues arise.
Ancient starch https://t.co/gfmlqxazDo needs innovative taphonomic research! Proud to join @USaskSSSC@CanLightSource for spectroscopy #XPS#raman and synchrotron #vespers#XRF#XRD study of archaeological samples from Melanesia, India, Mozambique, Spain, Tanzania, and Cuba.
Nice to see @usask alum JT Steencamp in the news! JT completed his MSc in Engineering Physics under Prof Mike Bradley. He tested his plasma implanted films in the @usaskSSSC using Raman spectroscopy and AFM. https://t.co/r3F0eC7N1R
Researchers are extracting vanadium from the oilsands and using it to build utility-scale electricity storage for renewable energy projects. https://t.co/NTRdOu9m68 @KyleBakx
