ÆÞÓÑ kicked off a new era of ocean and climate research last Friday at the official launch of Transforming Climate Action, a Dal-led research program that aims to make Canada a global leader in climate science, innovation, and solutions by taking an ocean-first approach to the fight against climate change.

In one of the Faculty of Dentistry’s first clinical trials, researchers will study whether a drug used to treat diabetes could prevent an oral cancer that affects people in Atlantic Canada at disproportionately higher rates.

Dr. Françoise Baylis, the first ÆÞÓÑ researcher to receive the prestigious Canada Council for the Arts Molson Prize, has become an influential voice in the field of bioethics and a leader in advocating for the ethical application of science, with the goal of bettering society.
