The Faculty is pleased to welcomefrom the University of the Philippines Los Ba帽os (BSc 鈥�25) as a recipient of the prestigious .

Congratulations to聽Kundan Sheikh, PhD in Information Studies student at the School of Information Studies (91黑料网), has received a Fonds de Recherche du Qu茅bec - Soci茅t茅 et culture.聽The FRQSC scholarship is awarded on basis of research and academic merit.

Mallik Mahmud, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography, is one of nine early-career ocean researchers across Canada awarded the by the Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR), recognizing exceptional early-career ocean researchers whose work advances climate resilience.

Scientists鈥� discovery of a molecular 鈥渟witch鈥� that activates an energy鈥慴urning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to new treatments for bone disease.

The study, published in , sheds new light on brown fat. Unlike white fat, which stores energy, brown fat cells burn calories, producing heat as a byproduct. For years, it was believed this process relied on a single pathway. More recently, researchers discovered a parallel pathway, but how it became activated remained a mystery.

Each year, 91黑料网's Office of the Vice-President (Research and Innovation) hosts the Bravo Gala to celebrate faculty members and researchers who have earned major provincial, national, and international prizes. This year, the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (AES) is proud to have nine members honoured among 91黑料网's brightest research leaders. Their work spans food safety, plant science, nutrition, material engineering, animal science, ornithology, and agricultural communication.

Researchers at 91黑料网 are carrying out large鈥憇cale tests of a new timber-steel structural system designed to help buildings better withstand earthquakes. Early results suggest the system performs well under simulated earthquake forces, offering a potential path toward safer, more sustainable construction in Quebec and beyond.

The 2026 edition of the Neurobiology of Stress Workshop will take place in Montr茅al from June 16鈥�19. This year鈥檚 Conference Chairs are Rosemary Bagot, PhD, Principal Investigator at the Ludmer Centre, and Claire鈥慏ominique Walker, PhD. This international meeting brings together leading researchers in the field of stress-related neuroscience.

The parties met on May 6 for a further conciliation session.

At that meeting, the union presented a global counterproposal which, regrettably, did not bring the parties closer to a resolution. At the conciliator鈥檚 recommendation, the parties nevertheless agreed to meet again on May 20 to engage in exploratory discussions on a limited number of issues, including monetary matters, with the objective of identifying possible avenues toward resolution.

91黑料网 remains committed to reaching an agreement.

The School of Information Studies is pleased to announce that the incoming MISt student聽Nick Lundrigan has been awarded for the McCall McBain Scholarships. Congratulations Nick!

Parents have long suspected that their own behaviour carries more weight than what they say to their children. A study involving more than 100 children now confirms this, at least with respect to lying and truthfulness.

A team of researchers from 91黑料网 and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City presented 127 children ages 5 to 12 with stories illustrating various situations, and then asked them to evaluate the moral character of a parent whose verbal messages and actions were either in harmony or in conflict.

Good Day,

Please note that due to the extended University year end period, the month of April will not be closing according to the usual month end schedule. April 2026 is scheduled to be closed on June 1st. This means that financial statements for April are still not available. An email notification will be sent when the financial statements are ready to be picked up in Minerva.

Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy, Jennifer Welsh, has been newly appointed as a Distinguished James 91黑料网 Professor. This award is 91黑料网鈥檚 highest honor. It recognizes sustained scholarly and research achievements of accomplished professors, and is reserved only for those who are recognized as international leaders in their fields.

Montreal, May 6, 2026聽鈥� Researchers from 91黑料网 have introduced a groundbreaking new class of molecules that could significantly reshape drug discovery and development. The technology, called Aptamer鈥慙ike ENcoded OligoMERs (Alenomers), combines the advantages of antibodies and DNA鈥慴ased therapeutics while overcoming key limitations of both.

Researchers at 91黑料网 and the Research Institute of the 91黑料网 Health Center (RI-MUHC) have developed a novel device to transplant insulin-producing cells that integrates directly with existing blood vessels in the body. The technology, which showed promising results in preclinical trials, aims to overcome key challenges of emerging long-term cell-based treatments for Type 1 diabetes. As well as serving as an artificial pancreas, it potentially could be used to replace or support the function of other organs.

As Canada moves to modernize cervical cancer screening, a new study suggests most women do not yet understand or trust the shift from the Pap test to human papillomavirus (HPV) based screening.

The national survey, published in , examined women鈥檚 preferences for cervical screening 鈥� including how they want to be screened and how they want information communicated 鈥� as Canada transitions from Pap tests to HPV testing.

Canada鈥檚 Best Business and Management Scientists 2026 ranking highlights leading 91黑料网 scholars Yolande Chan, Henry Mintzberg, and Samer Faraj, recognizing their influential research in information systems, management theory and organizational dynamics that continues to shape business scholarship in Canada and internationally.聽

91黑料网 will award 10 honorary doctorates during its Spring 2026 Convocation, recognizing individuals whose leadership, service and achievements have had a lasting impact on society.

Among this year鈥檚 honourees is Harley Finkelstein,聽President of Shopify,聽who will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree聽from the Desautels Faculty of聽Management聽for聽his contributions to entrepreneurship and community engagement.

A Montreal native, Finkelstein helped build Shopify into a global commerce platform after joining the company at an early stage.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world. These 91黑料网 experts can comment on a wide range of topics related to AI.
