A Frenchman and an ocean full of plastic

Ever heard of plastic smog? This article calls attention to the global use, pollution, and production of single-use plastics – and the undertaking of Benoit Lecomte, a French swimmer, to swim across the Pacific Ocean. Lecomte’s feat, if successful, will not only make him the first person to do so, but the journey will act as an opportunity to study (and as a glaring reminder of) pollution in the ocean. Among the threats and obstacles Lecomte will face as he traverses the ocean are densely

When the mercury rises, most of us reach for the sunscreen – believing we are doing something positive by protecting against cancer-causing rays. But research shows that oxybenzone—a common ingredient in sunscreen—is disrupting coral’s reproduction and growth cycles. The good news is there are alternatives that, if implemented, could save the precious ecosystem of coral reefs around the world.

Petroleum pipeline leaks are costly – for business and for the environment. Researchers are now developing bacteria-based sensors to detect hydrocarbons released by a leak – and emit a wireless alert signal to technicians.

A new product will soon enable novice beekeepers to keep honeybees inside their houses. The BEEcosystem is modular honeybee habitat that can be hung almost anywhere; it simply needs to be placed near a window if inside, or in a sheltered location outside. Watch a video that shows how the technology works.

Researchers offer up an "a-peeling" solution to plastic wrap

Did you know that Canada processes a whopping 2.86 million tonnes of potatoes a year — into things like frozen French fries, instant mashed potatoes and chips? Unfortunately, all of that processing translates into a lot of potato waste. But recently — at the University of Alberta — a team of innovative researchers found a way to put these potato processing leftovers to good use...by transforming then into a biodegradable plastic!

Homeward Bound: Women in Science and Leadership in Antarctica

What better place to sharpen one’s leadership skills than amidst the harsh landscape of Antarctica. The frozen continent is filled with stories of leadership from the early 20th century explorers and their race to be the first to set foot on the South Pole. For 76 of us from around the world - all women with science backgrounds - Antarctica was the backdrop for our own explorations into leadership.

A complete map of forest disruption in Canada 1985-2011

Researchers from the Canadian Forest Service have created a time-series map of where and how forests have been disrupted between the years of 1985 and 2011. This is specifically tracking logging/harvesting and forest fires. A staggering 10 percent of our country's total forests saw some kind of damage over the almost 30 years. This type of research is helpful in tracking the Earth's carbon cycle, which is critical to understanding our changing climate.

Looking at Earth at Night

NASA has released new composite images of the Earth at night. The images were all taken with the VIIRS instrument aboard the Suomi NPP satellite (an imager that orbits around Earth's poles). While the images are breathtaking, I'm more excited for what's coming next: later this year, NASA will be releasing DAILY data dumps from the night lights project. Meaning... scientists/anyone will be able to study the light/energy uses around the globe on a daily basis. I love data.
