Join us for the first Skills for Research Impact Series advanced session!
This workshop will be an introduction to data visualization for non-technical users.
After attending this workshop you will be able to:
Hone your clear communications skills! Get tips on how to structure and write clear language summaries of your research for dissemination to lay audiences.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Dairy calves are an integral part of Ontario’s $2.2-billion dairy industry. Access to a world-class research and innovation system — including the Ontario Dairy Research Centre and six Alliance-funded projects over 18 years — resulted in better on-farm pain management practices during disbudding (the process of removing the horn bud in young calves for the safety of other cows and farm staff) and the licensing of a new pain management drug in Europe and Canada. Long-term Alliance investment helped identify and promote the new pain management protocol.
The Laboratory Services Division is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and the Canadian Association of Laboratory Accreditation to the International Organization of Standardization standard 17025 (ISO/IEC 17025:2017).
Graduate students will present research at this free half-day event co-hosted by U of G's School of Environmental Design and Rural Development and OMAFRA. Researchers, policy analysts, and OMAFRA program staff are all welcome to attend. Register via Eventbrite.
Join Lindsey Thomson from the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute for "Stakeholder Engagement" on Feb. 9 from 1-2:30 p.m. and reflect on how to engage your stakeholders through the research process to increase your impact.
Leading research at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) is contributing greatly to current understandings of mental health and well-being in the veterinary profession, and the agricultural community.
Evidence shows veterinarians, student veterinarians and farmers to be at increased risk for psychological distress and mental illness.
Go behind the scenes with veterinary students who completed placements last fall. The externship is a component of the Veterinary Capacity Program, which is supported by the Alliance and places students in a veterinary practice that works with food animals, as well as companion animals and/or horses.
Omid Norouzi, a PhD candidate and Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) scholar in the School of Engineering, aims to cut global greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural and food waste by converting that waste into fuel.
