We're uncovering solutions to today's challenges and helping students find their big potential at Simon Fraser University, one of Canada's top research universities. #sfuscience #tfr
What if our food packaging could help us keep track of how fresh our food is? New materials for printed circuits being developed at #SFUChemistry and #USask could make it possible. https://www.lightsource.ca/public/news/2024-25-q2-jul-sept/got-sour-milk-printed-electronics-will-tell-you.php

@rbos Thanks! Will keep that in mind.
What happens when we train too hard and don't take enough time to recover? Join us for our next Café Scientifique talk on April 30, where #SFUBPK professor and former ITU elite triathlete Alex Coates will share research on athletes and how can we use this knowledge in our everyday lives.

I've you've visited #SFU Burnaby campus recently you may have noticed that the AQ Reflection Pond fish are back from their annual health checkup! Thanks to the #SFUBioSci Aquatic Research Centre staff for taking such good care of them. #SFUScience #koi
#Ticks, and the diseases they carry, are a constant concern for anyone enjoying the outdoors. #SFUBioSci researchers developed a repellent that uses ant pheromones to repel ticks.

Nice to see my colleague Stef Simmons get well-deserved recognition for her farsighted work in silicon-based quantum computing.
It’s also worth emphasizing that her research builds on years of less visible curiosity-driven condensed matter research, in our department and elsewhere, that no one could have expected to lead to a new way to build a quantum computer. It takes a village, so to speak.

Congratulations to #SFUPhysics professor Stephanie Simmons for making it onto #Macleans 2024 Power List for Tech! Simmons’ research focuses on developing cutting-edge silicon photonics, and their potential as a platform for ideal #quantum processing and transmitting interfaces for future quantum networks.

SCOOP: you’ve heard of training hospitals, but how about a training primary care clinic?
The acting dean at the incoming medical school at SFU sees it an key part of the training program & a service to the community
Surrey is very on board👇

Help scientists track butterflies with your smartphone! #SFUBioSci professor John Reynolds explains how community science projects like Butterflies in My Backyard and #iNaturalist help conservationists understand where #butterflies gather and how to protect them. https://www.abbynews.com/local-news/butterflies-in-my-backyard-began-in-bc-but-going-national-for-2024-7336272 #SFU #SFUScience #conservation #communityscience #biology #ecology
Warm weather means many of us will be spending a lot more time outdoors. Unfortunately it also means a higher risk encountering #ticks, which can carry #LymeDisease. #SFUBioSci researchers are exploring new solutions to repel these harmful critters. https://ow.ly/GBmM50ReCHe #SFUScience #pestcontrol #BritishColumbia #hiking
