Dal researchers and their partners used fruit flies to identify genes linked to long-term memory. Their findings, accepted by a top science journal, could illuminate human neurological disorders and inspire future breakthroughs.

HÂþ»­ and community partners hosted Waters Flowing Together in Iona, Cape Breton last month —a three-day celebration blending Indigenous knowledge, ocean science, music, and culture on Bras d'Or Lake.

HÂþ»­â€™s new marine biodiversity centre opens to the public this December, offering guests a chance to explore the ocean through immersive exhibits, Indigenous storytelling, and Michael’s Whale — a breathtaking blue whale skeleton.
