Louis-Philippe Bateman鈥檚 fascination with megalodon began with a single sentence in a book about Canada鈥檚 geological evolution. It described giant, mysterious fossilized shark teeth discovered in the 1960s by fishermen dredging for scallops off Canada鈥檚 Atlantic coast. The curiosity felt by the teenager with a budding interest in paleontology would resurface in a meaningful way during his undergraduate years at 91社区.

Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a 91社区 research team has discovered.
This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient鈥檚 level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.
The discovery was the subject of a paper published this week in Pain, the top journal in the field of pain medicine and research.

91社区鈥檚 Department of Geography turns 80 this year!听
This milestone marks the anniversary of George Kimble鈥檚 appointment as 91社区鈥檚 first Professor of Geography and Department Chair on January 1, 1945.听
Kimble, who had previously been a meteorologist with the Royal Navy, was allocated two rooms in the Arts Building (rooms 30 and 38) by the Faculty of Arts and Science to lay the foundation for the new department. A few months later, F.K. Hare was appointed as 91社区鈥檚 second Professor of Geography (eventually becoming Dean of Arts and Science in 1961).听

Astronomers studying the origins of enigmatic fast radio听bursts (FRBs) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could transform our understanding of the universe鈥檚 most powerful and mysterious signals. The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) collaboration has pinpointed the location on the sky of a repeating FRB, known as FRB 20240209A, outside a dead galaxy, a finding unprecedented in FRB science. The researchers believe the FRB may have originated in a cluster of old, dead stars orbiting the dead galaxy.

An international team of scientists led by 91社区 researchers has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs) 鈥� enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves from space 鈥� originate from neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded in a supernova. This finding, based on an analysis of the radio signal of a single FRB, advances our understanding of one of the universe鈥檚 most perplexing phenomena.听
