#POLITICS Big congrats to #Canada's new governor general, @umontreal.ca law alumna Louise Arbour! Did you know her hero is ... #Tintin? She talks about that and more with our rector, Daniel Jutras: nouvelles.umontreal.ca/en/article/2... #cdnpol #UN @un.org @crisisgroup.org @mark-carney.bsky.social
#BIODIVERSITY "The community that believes in the existence of #Bigfoot (or #Sasquatch) has a database of all the sightings, and it’s a dataset that’s perfectly suited to this exercise," says @ctrlalttim.com. nouvelles.umontreal.ca/en/article/2...
#BIOCHEMISTRY Brain fog, sore muscles, upset stomach, bad blood pressure, poor sleep, a deepening malaise: myalgic encephalomyelitis "is not a single disease, but rather a spectrum" – and needs to be studied as such, says a top Canadian expert. #longCOVID

Backed by an $11.3-million federal grant, Canadian scientists led by teams at UdeM and the UBC are helping design the ANDES instrument for the European Extremely Large Telescope.
In a new book, professor Kathryn Furlong and two UdeM graduates explore how the massive hydroelectric dam at Churchill Falls, in Labrador, has shaped Quebec and Newfoundland's competing identities.
UdeM’s Alain Moreau is working to shed light on the mystery of myalgic encephalomyelitis, a debilitating disease that is receiving renewed attention in the wake of COVID-19.
After more than 2 decades traveling the world, Arbour has settled down by a quiet Laurentian lake. With UdeM rector Daniel Jutras, she looks back on her life shaped by law, justice and global affairs.
Identified as Paleocanna tentaculum, the species is a rare find, as soft-bodied organisms do not usually preserve well, say scientists at UdeM and McGill University who discovered them.
By tracing the life trajectories of 26 people, a study identifies the key turning points toward homelessness – and when to intervene.

The flowers of the Spotted Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) are larger in cities. This appears to be an adaptation to the size of its primary pollinator, the Common Eastern Bumblebee.
Using data from sightings of the mythical creature, UdeM biologist Timothée Poisot adapts a machine-learning method to map the uncertainty of biodiversity scenarios.
David Décary-Hétu will lead a research consortium that will systematically record financial, intangible and cascading harms caused by online criminality in Germany – with lessons for Canada, too.
