The new Essex Centre of Research will house an exhibition this week of 20 finalists from NSERC’s 2017 Science Exposed photo contest.
Six UWindsor entrants are hoping to improve in their ranking among the 40 best in a national video contest on graduate research.
When the rains eventually blanket northwest Costa Rica, ushering in the country’s wet season, a booming chorus of yellow toads will fill the tropical forest.
And the moment that rain starts to fall, UWindsor’s Katrina Switzer will race to a pond in Santa Rosa National Park where she’ll match 3D printed “Robotoads” with unsuspecting mates.
“The Neotropical Yellow Toads have a large breeding event that really only happens once a year during the first massive rainfall,” Switzer explained, adding the rain usually starts falling in the middle of the night.
