Dear Queen’s Research Community,
We are pleased to see that engagement with Mitacs programming has continued to rise at Queen’s. As you are likely aware, Mitacs relies on both federal and provincial commitments to deliver on its internship programs. Based on current funding commitments affecting several provinces, institutions in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario are facing new Mitacs funding constraints.

Monday April 15, 2024Inclusivity is essential to creating an enriching and innovative environment where all individuals can thrive and contribute to scientific advancements. In this session we will share some practices we employ to create and foster a research environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and supported. We have found these practices to enhance our ability to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems within our research team.
Our discussion will focus on relatively easy-to-implement, sustainable, and effective approaches that contribute to an inclusive and efficient lab environment.

KingstonMark your calendars! On April 8, 2024, Kingston and a lucky few areas in southern Ontario will witness a once-in-a-lifetime event: a total solar eclipse.
The 2024 eclipse will be visible from Mexico, the United States, and Canada. For the first time in almost 700 years, Kingston is in the path of totality, or where the Sun will be completely blocked out by the Moon. This means many people will be flocking to the area to view this wondrous celestial spectacle, so planning needs to start ASAP!
For Kingstonians, this coming total solar eclipse will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime event: as mentioned, the last eclipse was almost 700 years ago in 1349, and the next one won't be for another 375 years in 2399!
