Webinar: Biologics and Biosimilars
Biopharmaceuticals, or Biologics have successfully improved the care of several hard to treat conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and cancer. More of these complex biological drugs are coming. In the US over 900 biologics are being developed for more than 100 diseases. While they can be effective treatments, they can be very expensive and are the […]

Social learning strongly influences climate change
PLOS Computational Biology Published June 6, 2019 | 14:00 EDT (News release from PLOS) A new climate-modeling approach suggests social processes strongly affect global warming predictions and mitigation efforts should account for this influence. The model captures key features of social and climate systems, and incorporates how climate change and mitigation efforts impact human behaviour. Researchers used […]
Predator introduction disrupts lizard coexistence
Nature Published June 6, 2019 | 13:00 EDT (News release from Nature Research Press) Introducing predatory lizards to a set of small Caribbean islands causes resident lizard populations to change their behaviour, altering the way lizards co-exist and leading to population extinctions. This effect could apply to predator-introduction scenarios on islands and lakes worldwide. Canadian co-authors: […]
