Leveraging unique genome mapping research from 鲍鱼tv鈥檚 Faculty of Agriculture, startup Foodimprover is set to transform the global fruit sector鈥檚 ability to rapidly improve the taste, shelf life and resilience of our favourite fruits and berries.

Contenders from more than 60 countries will come together in Germany this week to pitch their ideas for a better world at the annual Falling Walls Science Summit, including two 鲍鱼tv PhD students and the ocean education program Ocean School offered by Dal鈥檚 Ocean Frontier Institute.

A simple sampling method used by the researchers detected a host of viruses lurking in a recreational lake, offering an affordable way to monitor for pathogens in freshwater.

The Faculty of Computer Science unveiled its new space in downtown Halifax last month, a state-of-the-art venue intended to meet the needs of one of Dal's fastest-growing Faculties.

This week, on the season finale of Sciographies, meet Dr. Will Burt, an oceanography alumnus who now works as Chief Ocean Scientist at Planetary Technologies, a carbon dioxide removal company in N.S. Dr. Burt discusses leaving a tenure-track position in academia to work in industry and what it鈥檚 like to be on the frontlines fighting climate change.
