When the first picture of a black hole, a gravitational well from which no light can escape, was unveiled last year, it was a stunning technological feat.

Waterloo Biology is one of the top ten biology programs in Canada for 2021, according to the influential annual Maclean’s magazine ranking program.

In results released last week, Waterloo’s Biology program was placed 10^th for 2021, rising in the rankings from 13^th in 2020 and 15^th in 2019.

COVID-19 testing for individuals with no COVID symptoms is now available at some pharmacies in Ontario and Alberta.

This week, universities, libraries, science centres and schools across Canada have been celebrating Science Literacy Week, with the goal of improving our collective understanding of science.

Canadian health-care professionals are expecting an increase in demand for influenza vaccinations for the upcoming flu season.

School of Pharmacy Professor Roderick Slavcev knows better than most how important vaccinations are – he’s currently developing a DNA-based vaccine for COVID-19.

We asked Professor Slavcev to explain the science of vaccine hesitancy. What happens if we have a vaccine for COVID-19, but people won’t use it?

While we continue to see the number of positive and recovered cases change across the world, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a threat to everyone’s health and well-being. There’s a global race to produce a vaccine that will be effective in protecting us from the virus and perhaps be our best hope for ending the pandemic.

Many COVID-19 cases have been reported through community transmission, with 81 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Canada likely spreading this way.

What can be done to track the spread of COVID-19 on surfaces in our community?
