PhD student Robert Lennox and a team of researchers have discovered that removing predators such as wolves or sharks can have a negative impact on predator and prey populations. Instead, the researchers argue that there are more effective measures that can be taken. The results are available in an academic journal called "Biological Conservation". Lennox wrote about his research in "The Conversation".

“This is potentially the most impactful research I’ve ever been involved with,” says Carleton Chemistry Prof. Jeff Smith, director of the Carleton Mass Spectrometry Centre (CMSC), who is helming the technology part of the project in collaboration with principal investigator Lynne Leonard from the University of Ottawa’s School of Epidemiology and Public Health.

The collaborative institute that unifies Canada’s excellence in astroparticle physics research has officially been launched and named in honour of Nobel Laureate Arthur B. McDonald.

Five hundred of Canada’s top young scientists are at Carleton University from May 12 to 19 to showcase their innovative projects, with an expected attendance of some 10,000 members of the public, students and educators.

Patricia Oliver’s medical physics PhD research sought to understand energy deposition from radiation within cells for contexts relevant for radiation therapy and diagnostic radiology.
