Masters of Marine Management student Kristal Ambrose, whose research focuses on plastic waste in her home country of the Bahamas, took home first prize in Dalhousie's 3 Minute Thesis competition. The event, supersized for Dal’s 200th anniversary, featured some of the university's top grad students sharing their work in three-minute presentations.

Research from Paul Bishop (Mechanical Engineering) and Ghada Koleilat (Process Engineering and Applied Science) was celebrated at an event last month announcing $1.9 million in funding from the Research Nova Scotia Trust.

A cross-Canada study led by Dalhousie Medical School researchers has proven that Aspirin is as effective as rivaroxaban in preventing blood clots after hip and knee replacement surgery — a finding which could mean substantial cost savings for patients.
