Marine fossils from the Cretaceous of Manitoba: How fossil assemblages can give insight into the major changes marine communities experienced during major climate changes in the past Speaker: Aaron Kilmury, Department of Biology, Brandon University Abstract: The Late Cretaceous (100-66 My) Western Interior Seaway (WIS) vertebrate community zonation hypothesis is re-examined for the first time […]

Particle physics and condensed matter physics find a natural meeting point in dense astrophysical systems, such as neutron stars. Evan McDonough If dark matter is a particle with a very small mass, condensed matter physics can be relevant on cosmological scales, leading to phenomena such as exotic phases of matter (superfluid, superconducting) and vortex formation […]

Please join us for the final Science Seminar of the term, where our students will be presenting their thesis research topics.

Each student will make a 15-minute presentation on their research, followed by a five-minute question period.

The talk on Thursday will focus on methods for solving time-fractional partial differential equations, in particular what are known as LDG methods.

A pioneer in the emerging and important field of ribosome assembly, from Yale University’s School of Medicine, will visit Brandon University (BU) to talk about women in science on Wednesday, June 26.
