Sensorineural affects 466 million people, around the world, including 34 million children. Harvard University researchers are using CLS to image the cochlea, a key but difficult-to-study hearing organ. facebook.com/24210911588597… #womeninstem #hearing #OntheBeamlines

Approximately 1 in 3 women will suffer a bone fracture from bone loss in their lifetime, whereas only 1 in 5 men are affected. 👵👴 The University of Akron assistant professor of biology Janna Andronowski is leading a research project investigating why this variation occurs #OntheBeamlines

Thankyou to #CanadianLightSource for facilitating a webinar introducing teachers to STEM opportunities available to students. Teachers participated in a soil chemistry exploration analyzing data collected with the #synchrotron . For details ow.ly/6Xsv50InIxQ #OnTheBeamlines

I am a firm believer that most people can achieve an order of magnitude more than they believe. Over the last 15 years, I have seen so many *normal* people achieve incredible outcomes.

There was a consistent theme that permeated across all of these outcomes: non-linearity

#OnTheBeamlines : Tim Sharbel and colleagues in USask AgBio are using #BMIT to analyze hundreds of varieties of cannabis. Their work should benefit pharmaceutical development + medical studies, and help inform future breeding to select for specific medicinal and agronomic traits.

#OnTheBeamlines Researcher Xing Song Memorial NRPOP is using our #Mid -IR beamline to better understand which parts of oil are most attractive to a specific group of contaminant-eating microorganisms. His work holds potential for improving oil spill response + treatment of wastewater.

#OnTheBeamlines Using #BMIT USask AgBio researchers Tim Sharbel + Martin Mau are studying pollen produced by sexual and asexual (apomictic) plants of the genus Boechera sp. (a relative of canola), to better understand the transmission of apomixis genetic factors.
