The winner of this year’s Three Minute Thesis competition at the University of Windsor is examining how supercomputers can be used to combat superbugs.

Chemistry and biochemistry master’s student Travis DeWolfe took home the $1,000 top prize and will represent the University at the provincial final, April 12 at the University of Waterloo.

“I’m just kind of flabbergasted, really,” DeWolfe said following the competition. “All of the competitors here were fantastic and so to watch them all and hear my name announced was surreal.”

A double reading Thursday, March 23, will launch the spring 2017 edition of the literary magazine Windsor Salt.

Poet and professor André Narbonne will sign copies of his book “You Were Here” at a launch event Thursday, March 2.

Toronto poet and former UWindsor writer-in-residence Margaret Christakos will read alongside master’s students in creative writing Simina Banu, Samie Bauder, and Katerina Stavridis in a free public event Monday, November 28, at Common Ground Art Gallery.

The evening will also feature a presentation by master’s student Sam Whittaker on the poetry of Canadian innovator bp Nichol (1944-1988).
