    We have been studying a gene in zebrafish (called unc119b) that is required for many developmental processes, including eye formation. On the left, is a cross-section of a normal zebrafish eye at 3 days old that has been stained with fluorescent antibodies. The lens is surrounded by green (a lens...

    Plants have evolved a number of interesting features to help facilitate the passage of water and sugar around their tissues. One such molecular structure highlighted here in this balsam poplar leaf blade are aquaporins. As the name implies, aquaporins are small pores that carry water- but have...

    Do you see the coloured pairs that look like seahorses? Imagine looking from the top at horizontal cuts in the human brain. When the anatomist, Arantius, saw the brain of a cadaver, he named each of those regions hippocampus or “seahorse” in Greek. Here, you are looking at brain images of two...

    Among clinical imaging techniques it is common to monitor cellular biochemical processes using “molecular lanterns” in the form of light-emitting proteins or RNA nucleobases. Naturally occurring RNA nucleobases do not emit light (fluoresce) and thus, cannot be directly used for this purpose....

    In my research about ohtisiy (a word in the Cree language that conducts us to identify ourselves on the matrilineal principles), I learned more about the women from different generations in my society and their endeavors to empower themselves. In this research, I found that changing the role,...

    Brain tissue is comprised of grey matter (neuronal cell bodies) and white matter (myelinated axons). Glioma, a highly diffusive and fast spreading brain cancer, preferentially moves along white matter tracts like “myelin highways”. This leads to finger-like projections of glioma cells throughout...

    Preparing for a water ceremony we unconsciously are drawn to the water. The ground we stand on is in Flat Bay, a Mi'kmaq community in Western Newfoundland, a place where our ancestors are along side us. Within the silence all that is heard is the crashing of the waves, the seagulls and the...

    Slice to D4. One after the other, the wells of the plate in front of me are methodically filled with brain slices, precisely cut by a vibrating blade. Each one thinner than a human hair, I delicately transfer each slice as they are cut to a collecting dish with a paintbrush. This self portrait...

    I am researching female laundry labour and the cultural import of clean, white linen in 18th century England. There are very few examples of surviving linens anywhere. I am most fortunate to have access to some rare 18th and 19th century linens recently donated to the University of Alberta,...

    Plants encompass every aspect of humanity; from maize to cassava, rice to canola, we have cultivated crops for 23,000 years. Yet, despite how vast our understanding of plants is, there exist misconceptions that they are inactive, insensitive, and incapable of perceiving and responding to...
