How can universities better prepare and represent the students who will shape our future?
Werklund’s Dr. Catherine A. Odora Hoppers, Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier I in Pluralistic Societies; Transdisciplinarity, Cognitive Justice and Education, is working to create more spaces for these important conversations to happen.
Through initiatives like the CRC Retreat, Hoppers brings together philosophers, scholars and Indigenous perspectives—like Sa’ke’j Henderson, United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples drafting team—to challenge conventional ways of thinking about education. Through her Chair, she hopes to help shape an educational future that recognizes and represents diverse ways of knowing.

A major congratulations to Dr. Marie-Claire Arrieta, PhD, of #UCalgaryMed who has been recognized for shifting the field of microbiome science!
Dr. Arrieta has received the prestigious Arthur B. McDonald Fellowship from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Considered an early-stage academic researcher, Dr. Arrieta is already internationally known for leading discoveries on the early-life microbiome.
Dr. Arrieta investigates how the gut microbiome shapes infant immune, metabolic and neurological development, uncovering how early-life microbial patterns can influence the risk of diseases including allergies, asthma and obesity.
The McDonald Fellowship recognizes exceptional early-career researchers whose work is transforming their fields, and positions them for future national and international distinction.
👏 Bravo to Dr. Arrieta on this remarkable and well-deserved achievement.

What can a robot teach us about balance?
At UCalgary’s Human Performance Lab, Dr. Ryan Peters and his team are using a robotic platform called the Hexapod to study how people respond when their balance is challenged.
By measuring those responses, the team can better understand balance impairments and explore the effectiveness of potential therapies for older adults and others experiencing balance challenges.
See how the Hexapod is helping researchers take a closer look at balance in motion.

Rapid diagnosis of serious infections is essential for effective treatment and improved patient survival rates.
The Alberta Centre for Advanced Diagnostics (ACAD), led by Dr. Ian Lewis, associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the UCalgary, is working toward improving health-care delivery here in Alberta.
The state-of-the-art facility in the Faculty of Science has become a nationally competitive lab dedicated to finding faster, more accurate ways to address health problems. It also connects researchers and biotech companies with the tools and expertise to test new ideas, accelerate innovation and bring promising technologies closer to real-world application.
