The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) recently announced $2.5 million in funding for the Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and Training Program (KRESCENT) 2.0. The project is led by Dr. Todd Alexander, professor, University of Alberta, and the program is chaired by Dr. Sunny Hartwig, associate professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), and Dr. Adeera Levin, professor, University of British Columbia.

The Institute of Island Studies (IIS) at the University of Prince Edward Island is working with the PEI Department of Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture to better understand population mobility and retention on Prince Edward Island.

With biodiversity threatened around the planet, scientists are continually seeking easier ways to monitor biodiversity. In recent years, they have used environmental DNA or eDNA—traces of genetic material shed by organisms into the environment—to determine what lives in that environment. 

If we learned anything as a society in the last two years, it's how to better appreciate the little things in life.
