Dr. Françoise Baylis, the first È«¹ú̽»¨ 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.

Drs. OmiSoore Dryden and Caitlin Lees are the latest recipients of the grants, which offer scholars support to establish and expand critical health-care projects.

Powered by the largest research grant in Dal’s history, provided through the Government of Canada’s CFREF grant program, È«¹ú̽»¨ and its partners are set to launch Transforming Climate Action — the most intensive investigation ever into the ocean’s role in mitigating climate change.

Dal's newest class of graduates will be joined by two special individuals receiving honorary degrees this spring: Brad Barton, an African Nova Scotian educator and activist, and Dr. Edward Cain, a leader in emergency medicine.

È«¹ú̽»¨ officially opened the doors on its new Indigenous engagement office in Millbrook First Nation this week, the first time it has taken such a step to connect directly with prospective and current Indigenous students in their own community.
