When the seabirds make their annual descent into Bermuda to breed, though, their long, streamer-like tails, snowy white plumage, and shrill calls are impossible to miss. To locals, the birds’ return to the islands is a reliable sign of spring.</p> Thu, 14 Mar 2024 21:05:43 +0000 charly.blais@mcgill.ca 1622732 at /macdonald /macdonald/channels/news/elliott-receives-principals-prize-outstanding-emerging-researchers-339798 <p>Three highly accomplished early career researchers have received a significant 69ÈÈÊÓƵ distinction: The Principal’s Prize for Outstanding Emerging Researchers.</p> <p>Since 2013, 69ÈÈÊÓƵ has honoured 24 of its most talented and accomplished early career researchers with the prestigious Principal’s Prize for Outstanding Emerging Researchers.

In 2017, Kyle was named by the WEF one of the best scientists in the world under the age of 40.  The theme of this year’s meeting is the need for global collaboration in the 4th Industrial Revolution.  </p> Mon, 17 Sep 2018 14:06:19 +0000 hcrphoto.macdonald@mcgill.ca 53501 at /macdonald /macdonald/channels/news/mercury-decline-seabirds-due-diet-not-emission-controls-283047 <p>For 47 years, biologists have plucked eggs from seabird nests along the British Columbia coast. Many of the eggs were collected from remote rocky islands surrounded by some of the world’s roughest seas.</p> <p>In all, they collected 537 eggs from six species, including ancient murrelets, rhinoceros auklets and double-crested cormorants. Now these eggs are revealing new information about the way mercury finds its way into the ecosystem.</p> Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:48:04 +0000 hcrphoto.macdonald@mcgill.ca 53045 at /macdonald /macdonald/channels/news/world-economic-forum-young-scientists-class-2017-celebrates-breakthrough-talent-across-globe-268902 <p>The World Economic Forum announced its 2017 class of 55 Young Scientists, assembling a distinguished cohort of top talent making an impact on research as diverse as quantum and computer science, physics and materials science, biology and bio-engineering, medical and neuroscience, and energy and environment.

Surprisingly, mercury in seabirds is now actually slightly lower.</p> Wed, 21 Dec 2016 15:14:04 +0000 katherine.maclean@mcgill.ca 52593 at /macdonald /macdonald/kyle-elliott Thu, 17 Mar 2016 18:12:26 +0000 hcrphoto.macdonald@mcgill.ca 52154 at /macdonald
