Face
A new threat to kelp health
A very small creature is threatening the health of BC’s giant kelp forests: bryozoans. They’re tiny white coral-like crustaceans that attach themselves to kelp, reducing reproduction and overall health of kelp beds.
New UVic initiative fashions face shields
The Ring
A new UVic initiative is building face shields for frontline health workers as we face a worldwide shortage of disposable face masks.
Legends Cup Series
The Ring
On Aug. 28, UVic and UBC came together in Victoria to announce the launch of the Legends Cup Series, which will reignite the long-standing rivalry between the Vikes and Thunderbirds. The Legends Cup is the new trophy that will be awarded to one of the two universities based on a series of varsity athletic competitions this season.
Whales and marine traffic in Arctic
Media release
UVic marine biologist Lauren McWhinnie is lead author in a new study which warns that vessel disturbance could very likely impact the social behaviours, distribution and long-term survival of marine mammals in the Arctic. They rely on a quiet environment to communicate and forage; but Arctic sea ice is shrinking and therefore shipping traffic is increasing.
Face Code
The Ring
A quirky mix of student programmers. Dr. Jim Tanaka, the research psychologist who leads them. And the app software they designed that could change the face of autism therapy.
Photographer Paul Nicklen
The Ring
Paul Nicklen’s first words to a packed audience at UVic’s Farquhar auditorium on Feb. 6 were “I am incredibly honored to be here, and in fact I’m in utter disbelief, given my track record here at this university 23 years ago.” Nicklen was invited to speak for UVic’s Alumni week, which honors everything UVic’s grads do for their communities, and as a 1990 grad and Canada’s only photographer for National Geographic, he certainly fits the bill.
