If Quebec agronomists had access to several years of research on local farmland, they could help farmers optimize yields, reduce waste, lower costs and improve efficiency. To make that dream a reality, a team at McGill’s Macdonald Campus created AgPrécision, a network that will link agricultural experiments on farms across Quebec and share the results with regional agronomists.

Lorenzo Accurso, Dylan Beauchamp and Matteo Iasenza At midnight one August night, with Montreal largely asleep, three longtime friends began a 125-kilometre run around the island to raise money for the pet therapy program at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

Une étude mondiale suggère qu’on atteint son pic de douleur plus tôt dans la vie qu'on pourrait s'y attendre
Selon une nouvelle étude dirigée par des chercheurs de l’Université McGill, la douleur augmente le plus fortement avant l’âge de 55 ans – plutôt qu’à un âge plus avancé, comme on pourrait s’y attendre. Publiée dans Nature Medicine, l’étude a analysé des données autodéclarées sur la douleur provenant de plus de 6,1 millions de personnes dans 118 pays et territoires. L’analyse montre que les différents types de douleur n’évoluent pas tous de la même façon au cours de la vie.

Exploring the complexity of the queer experience
For award-winning author francesca ekwuyasi, writing began with a locked diary and a problem: she didn’t think she had anything interesting to write about. So, she invented some things. As a child in Lagos, Nigeria, ekwuyasi filled her diary with fictional entries about a girl like herself experiencing things she did not.
