A trio of researchers at Nipissing University have earned $265,000 in grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) for work that provides a better understanding of our watersheds, creates new commercially useful chemical compounds more efficiently, and furthers scientific knowledge through the exploration of dimension theory.
Congratulations to Nipissing University alumnus Corey Thompson (BA ’99), on the publication of his first book, Alcohol in the Writings of Herman Melville: “The Ever-Devilish God of Grog”.
Congratulations to Dr. David Tabachnick, professor of political science, on earning a Harrison McCain Visiting Professorship Award, which will see him visiting and collaborating with faculty and students at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
This panel approaches the question of how we Create the North (and Canada, its reflection) through literature, visual art and poetry.
