David Brown - 2017 Governor General’s Innovation Awards Winner

Governor General's Innovation Awards

David Brown is a biotechnology entrepreneur and a passionate advocate for youth entrepreneurship in Canada’s biotechnology sector. Mr. Brown serves as the co-founder and COO of Chinova Bioworks and is the founder of MyCodev Group which he founded in order to resolve a lack of supply of chitosan, a valuable pharmaceutical ingredient that is essential in a wide variety of medical devices and drugs. Mr. Brown’s innovative technology produces chitosan directly from a fungal fermentation, a process

The polar bear and the volcano

Environment and Climate Change Canada

When Environment and Climate Change Canada scientist emeritus Ian Stirling started polar bear research in western Hudson Bay in the 1980s, he never imagined that it would become the first research program in the world to demonstrate the effects of climate change on polar bears. Stirling started the research program simply because the scientific community didn’t know much about polar bears at the time. There was a need to answer some fundamental ecological questions. He and a small research team

He practiced medicine in

Bioluminescent fungi on a branch

A Fun-gi to the Science of Bioluminescence

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A group of scientists have discovered what causes fungi to glow in the dark. It turns out that it is a very similar process to what fireflies and angler fish use. Another case of convergent evolution, the idea that unrelated organisms can evolve to have similar characteristics.

The Recluse spider

Recluse Spiders Have an Interesting Way of Spinning their Web

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The recluse spider has a very different way of spinning its web. Arachnologists (yes... that's a real profession) from Chile have taken high speed videos of the recluse spider spinning its web to reveal that the spider can create the web entirely automatically, without the help of its legs or having to attach the web to something and pull. Check out the videos attached to the article, they're weird and awesome.

Rare Isotope Beam

A custom-made revolution for isotope beamlines

Deep in the basement of TRIUMF’s Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL), a new age for accelerator science-based research in Canada is taking shape. Amidst the bright concrete walls and distant hum of high-voltage electricity, a series of gleaming metal pipes and chambers is converging under the watchful eye of TRIUMF scientists, engineers, and technicians; an assembly that, once complete, will usher in a bright new era for subatomic physics research in Canada and internationally. As TRIUMF’s

Seaweed: From superfood to superconductor

Engineering & Technology

Seaweed: From superfood to superconductor

Seaweed, an edible algae with a long history in Atlantic Canada (e.g. dulse seaweed) and some Asian cuisines, could turn out to be an essential ingredient in another trend: the development of more sustainable ways to power our devices. Researchers are using a seaweed-derived material to replace traditional non-renewable carbon materials to help boost the performance of superconductors, lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells in a sustainable way.

Ants perfected farming 30 million years ago in the desert

Ants perfected farming 30 million years ago in the desert

Turns out we humans aren't the only farmers on our planet! Ants are farmers too, growing crops of fungus in their nests in the soil. Entomologists at the National Museum of Natural History, part of the Smithsonian family of museums in the United States, just recently discovered that these amazing little ant societies have been growing domesticated varieties of fungus for 30 million years! You can learn more about the life beneath the soil at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museums Soil Lab!
