Mike Domritz's presentation, entitled Can I Kiss You, will cover healthy dating, consent, bystander intervention and sexual assault awareness.
The study, published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, found that magazines promote a tanned look and provide women with limited information on risk factors and early detection for skin cancer.
Waterloo’s rise in the rankings, from 251-275 a year ago, is the largest rise amongst Canadian universities in the ranking. Waterloo is among just seven Canadian universities ranked in the top 200 in the world by Times Higher Education.
UWaterloo and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany are collaborating to seek active participation of researchers and affiliated institutions, thought leaders in the academy, civil society groups, philanthropic organizations, innovators, and government and industry leaders.
At a free public event this afternoon, Professor Jatin Nathwani, the executive director of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy at the University of Waterloo, will discuss the pathways to a low-carbon energy future with the launching of the Global Change Initiative.
Proponents of climate change tend to use more conservative, tentative language to report on the science behind it, while skeptics use more emotional and assertive language when reinterpreting scientific studies, says research from the University of Waterloo.
Tentative language would include words such as "possible," "probable" or "might." The terms "alarmist" and "wrong" are examples of emotional language.
Although he hasn’t slid behind the wheel of one yet, Drew Higgins hopes to drive a fuel cell vehicle someday. And here’s what would make the ride extra sweet for the recent chemical engineering alumnus: knowing the research he conducted during 11 years as a Waterloo student made the green energy source inexpensive enough to compete with gasoline.
An experiment by a team of researchers led from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) shows, for the first time, that a wave property of neutrons, Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM), can be controlled.
This newfound control of neutron OAM states means that researchers can now use neutron OAM beams to see inside materials that optical, x-ray or electron OAM beams can’t penetrate.
This control can help measure the magnetism, for example, in magnetic materials, as well as deeper probes of superconducting and chiral materials.
The Faculty of Applied Health Sciences and the Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program at the University of Waterloo will host the two-day event. It will bring together members of the community, students and researchers to create social, hardware and software solutions to improve the lives of those living with the neurological diseases.
Hackers will showcase their work during a pitch competition on Sunday, with a chance to win the following prizes:
Robert Henderson, coordinator for the Gustav Bakos Observatory at the University of Waterloo, is available to speak to the media about this rare celestial event.
“Lunar eclipses are not uncommon, but the combination of supermoon and total lunar eclipse is unusual,” said Henderson. “You won’t see this happen again for a couple of decades, and this is a great opportunity for some backyard astronomy.”
Members have reached a high level of achievement at an early stage of their careers. They represent the emerging generation of scholars and leaders in science and the arts in the country.
"The University of Waterloo is home to talented researchers making world-changing discoveries at all stages of their careers," said Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of Waterloo. "I am looking forward to seeing what these remarkable individuals achieve in the years to come and congratulate them on this tremendous honour."
