Energy poverty occurs when households cannot afford or access the levels of energy necessary to meet their daily needs, live decent lives, and maintain healthy indoor temperatures all year round. More Canadians potentially suffer from energy poverty than from food insecurity.</p> Tue, 20 Feb 2024 13:48:03 +0000 admin 2945 at /research /research/channels/news/uncertainty-measuring-biodiversity-change-could-hinder-progress-towards-global-targets-nature-355491 <p>More than ever before, there is a growing interest in dedicating resources to stop the loss of biodiversity, as recently exemplified by the <a href="//Users/../../../../../../../Users/andy/Downloads/The%2520GBF%2520focuses%2520on%2520understanding%2520why%2520biodiversity%2520is%2520declining%2520and%2520what%2520actions%2520are%2520needed%2520to%2520reverse%2520this%2520trend.%2520However,%2520implementing%2520the%2520plan%2520is%2520challenging%2520because%2520information%2520about%2520biodiversity%2520changes%2520is%2520not%2520evenly%2520available%2520everywhere,%2520meaning%2520that%25</body></html>"></a></p> Fri, 16 Feb 2024 19:41:59 +0000 admin 2615 at /research /research/channels/event/tete-tete-sweden-conversations-about-science-engagement-around-world-345812 <p>Around the globe, people dedicate their lives to the fascinating, weird, and powerful world of science.</p> Thu, 12 Oct 2023 20:50:46 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 2182 at /research /research/channels/news/mcgill-becomes-full-member-triumf-canadas-national-particle-accelerator-346540 <p>苹果淫院 has become a Full Member of the expanded network of TRIUMF, Canada鈥檚 national particle accelerator. 苹果淫院 has been involved in TRIUMF-led activities for several decades and has held associate membership since 2013.</p> <p>TRIUMF constructed parts of the Large Hadron Collider that ultimately produced Higgs bosons.
