Dal researchers in the Faculty of Dentistry have won a major award for research on the effectiveness of surgery for treating extreme sleep apnea — a frequently undiagnosed chronic condition that disrupts sleep.

Masters of Marine Management student Kristal Ambrose, whose research focuses on plastic waste in her home country of the Bahamas, took home first prize in Ä¢¹½AV's 3 Minute Thesis competition. The event, supersized for Dal’s 200th anniversary, featured some of the university's top grad students sharing their work in three-minute presentations.

In the latest Dal contribution to The Conversation, Management's Sylvain Charlebois argues that Ottawa seems unprepared for a trade war with the United States. The recent federal budget upholding equity values is noble, but won't mean a thing if the government runs out of cash.

Ä¢¹½AV 130 daring Dal students faced off this week as part of the preliminary heats in the university’s sixth-annual 3 Minute Thesis competition.

Research from Paul Bishop (Mechanical Engineering) and Ghada Koleilat (Process Engineering and Applied Science) was celebrated at an event last month announcing $1.9 million in funding from the Research Nova Scotia Trust.
