Dal and its partners celebrated the grand opening of the new Emera ideaHUB on Sexton Campus this Thursday, a space for young companies and entrepreneurs to develop unique technologies and compete on a global scale.

Launched last fall, the joint online ocean literacy initiative from Dalhousie University, the Ocean Frontier Institute and the National Film Board of Canada has been nominated for a Webby People’s Voice Award.

A startup from Waterloo that’s creating a unique new technology for the mass storage of renewable energy has packed its bags for Halifax as it seeks to tap into the city’s blossoming battery scene and research going on at Dalhousie.

This week, Dal Libraries launches the Chris Hadfield Space Photographs Collection, making Dalhousie the first institution to share a publically accessible educational project of the Canadian astronaut’s photography from his time aboard the International Space Station. For PhD student Caitlin Cunningham, bringing the collection to life has truly been an out-of-this-world experience.

A recent study published by three Dalhousie researchers directly links income-related inequalities to higher rates of psychological distress and suicidal behaviours among Indigenous peoples living off-reserve in Canada.
