We have changed the annual report this year to put more emphasis on the people, students, faculty and staff, who work, learn and, on occasion, play in the Faculty of Science. You will notice the influence of the University's Strategic Plan, mâmawohkamâtowin: Our Work, Our People, Our Communities, in the organization of the report as we feature Science's contributions in teaching and research, our involvement with community, and our people who make everything happen. We have included dozens of photographs in this profile of Science and hope you enjoy the increased emphasis on people as opposed to facts and figures.

Last year we reported on the excitement of beginning to occupy lab and office space in the research and Innovation Centre (rIC). For all intents and purposes, the move is complete. Construction on EQAL2 continued throughout 2010 as the fifth floor of RIC also took shape. as more and more of rIC became accessible, we saw the rest of the art work that is such an interesting aspect of the building. reminiscent of walking through rIC, you will encounter some of the artwork as you read the annual report.

We have highlighted selected examples of the accomplishments of the research activities to be found in Science. It is not possible to cover the work of everyone so please follow the links to the Faculty’s web site to learn more about what we do outside the classroom. the examples we have provided cover topics from making water supplies safer, to why faster and faster computers are need to support research, to volcanic eruptions. Curiosity driven research is alive and well in Science.

2010 saw a continuation of enrolment increases throughout the university and Science continued apace. The most dramatic increase is in the number of Geology majors, reflecting the need for geoscientists in the booming Saskatchewan resource sector. However, there are healthy increases right across the Faculty.

the 2010 recipients of the Muriel F. Finlayson legacy were Jason unruh, receiving the Finlayson environment Science Scholarship, and Nathan Magnus, receiving the Finlayson Computational Science Scholarship. Science students receive several hundred scholarships every year and you will find their many accomplishments in the report.

reminding us of the exciting careers open to our graduates, dr. ross Mitchell, bSc (Hons) 1986, MSc 1989, was the keynote speaker at the Graduate Gala. ross mesmerized the audience as he presented the visualization techniques his interdisciplinary team at the university of Calgary have developed for enhancing the use of MrI data in treating cancer and stroke patients.

Dr. Brien MaguireDean of Science

I hope that you will enjoy reading about the many accomplishments and the excellent work occurring in Science while learning more about the people in Science.

Department of BIology

the university of regina’s biology department is committed to excellence in the areas of teaching and research. the teaching and research activities are interrelated, reinforce each other, and have been divided into two themes: Cellular & Molecular Biology and Ecology & Environmental Biology. These areas provide the framework for coordinated staff and student recruitment and also for program development (both teaching and research). at the undergraduate level, biology offers both bSc and bSc Hons degrees, which may include a designated “area of concentration” in one of the two themes. biology also offers several combined programs with other units at the university of regina, and also bSc and bSc Hons programs in environmental biology offered in conjunction three Western Canadian colleges. Graduate student research (MSc and Phd) encompasses both laboratory- and field-based work, including research conducted at the University of Regina research Station located in the Cypress Hills of southwestern Saskatchewan. the biology department is also home to the George F. Ledingham Herbarium, the environmental Quality analysis Laboratory, and to a 1700 square foot aquatics Facility.

this department is home to three Canada research Chairs, and is also collaborating with the newly-established university of regina Faculty of Nursing to develop three new biology courses for Nursing students. Members of the Biology Dept are involved in outreach activities such as: presentations at schools and service organizations, research collaborations with government agencies, dealing with biological questions/issues from the public and from government agencies, and science fairs and science camp.

• Collectively 11 faculty members in the Department plus the laboratory manager of Environmental Quality analysis Laboratory (eQaL) held 9 NSerC discovery Grants and 5 other grants and contracts totalling about $2.5 million.

• Faculty members supervised 21 MSc students (4 completed) and 10 PhD students (1 completed). The department supported 2 Postdoctoral Fellows.

• The Department supervised 7 NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards (URSAs).

• Collectively, faculty members published 22 refereed articles or book chapters in national and international journals and presented a total of 39 conference papers.

University of Regina researchers looking at making water supply saferCanada research Chair dr. Christopher Yost is looking into how to make water safer. Water supplies can become contaminated through an oil spill or when waste products, including fecal pollution, enter the water system and are not properly treated, such as the case in Walkerton, oN.

Yost, a researcher and professor of microbiology at the u of r since 2003, is leading a team of researchers looking into how to minimize the impact of waste products from entering the water system.

“Safe water is all about providing human health security,” says Yost. “by better identifying the sources of fecal pollution that may enter a water supply, we can do a better job of defining the level of risk. It’s not just from agriculture. Every urban centre has a sewage treatment facility, and if there’s a breakdown in the process, there’s a risk that pathogens can get into the water supply. Whenever there is fecal pollution in a water system, everyone can point fingers at everyone else. That’s why we want to find specific data on the sources of fecal pollution.”

Yost was recently awarded $450,000 by the Natural Sciences and engineering research Council of Canada (NSerC) for a three-year project entitled “Indicators of fecal pollution in agricultural ecosystems: Persistence and identification of appropriate pathogen indicators.” It’s part of a collaborative research project that also includes the Saskatchewan Ministry of agriculture, dalhousie university in Halifax, and the Nova Scotia Federation of agriculture, Nova Scotia environment and Labour, agriculture and agri-Food Canada research branch, agri-environment Services branch, and the Irrigation Diversification Centre at Outlook, SK.

Yost says this research could have benefits around the globe. “Wherever we find people we find threats to water quality. there is no reason that we couldn’t take these tools to other parts of the world.”

“this research addresses a critically important real-world problem,” says dr. david Gauthier, Vice-President of research at the university of regina. “dr. Yost’s collaborative research with various academic and government partners will foster improved approaches to reduce health risks and improve environmental safety.”

The funding means employment for three graduate students at the University of Regina. But Yost says the benefits go far beyond research jobs for students.

“these graduate students will be well-trained in this interdisciplinary project, so they will get exposure to a number of different agencies. these are the types of scientists we need to train to solve environmental problems in the future,” explains Yost. “this project is an example of how the university of regina is playing a critical role in training future environmental scientists - the people who are going to solve the emerging problems with water quality issues.”

He says this research enhances the image of the u of r internationally, because people are training on state of the art equipment and facilities in the new research and Innovation Centre. Yost says if some go on to do more research in other places, people will recognize where they came from.

Department of ChEMISTRy AND BIoChEMISTRy

The Department has identified two areas of emphases (Chemistry of Biologic Systems and Chemistry of Environmental/Energy Systems) in their planning document of 2000 that builds on the four pillars of chemistry: analytical, Inorganic, organic and Physical Chemistry. these areas provide the framework for recruitment and program development (teaching and research) in the department and are consistent with the strategic areas of emphases in energy and environment, and Health research, described in the university of regina Strategic research Plan. the ideas and plans described in the department’s Chemistry Plan (december 12, 2000) are still relevant and the Department is working hard toward fulfilling the key goals delineated in the plan, namely, a) to achieve and maintain excellence in its execution of teaching and research, and b) to build a “critical mass” of faculty members to facilitate the process of building and sustaining cohesive research programs in the chemical and biological sciences, environmental sciences, and to foster meaningful research collaborations with other departments within the Faculty of Science, in particular the department of biology, and with the Faculty of engineering, especially the Greenhouse Gas techn ology group and the Petroleum technology research Centre.

this department is working toward achieving excellence in research and teaching, which includes the delivery of quality undergraduate and graduate programs in Chemistry and biochemistry. the department aims to provide a vibrant and positive environment for higher learning and training for our undergraduates and graduates. • Collectively 9 faculty members in the Department held 4 NSERC Discovery Grants, 2 other grants and contracts totalling about $252,054.

machines - The Need For Speed

regina’s superfast new computer won’t kill astronauts by Gregory beatty

according to the dictionary, “supercomputer” first entered the lexicon in 1967. The next year, what is probably still the most famous supercomputer ever, HaL 9000, appeared in the classic SF film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Most people are probably familiar with the story, but for those who aren’t, while on a deep-space mission to Jupiter HaL malfunctions, kills a bunch of astronauts and has to be deactivated by the lone survivor. As far as being predictive of the future, 2001: a Space odyssey was overly optimistic. It’s 2010

now, and while humanity has launched several probes that have either flown by or, in the case of Galileo in the mid-’90s, actually orbited Jupiter, we have yet to venture there on a manned mission. So in that respect, the movie(which was directed by Stanley Kubrick, and co-written by him and arthur C. Clarke) was off base. As for HAL 9000, I don’t think it’s ever specified what its exact specs are. but with its ability to perform complex tasks like speech recognition, interpreting and expressing emotion, art appreciation and whatnot, it possessed a degree of artificial intelligence that is still well beyond our ability to create. Not to say that in the intervening 40 years we haven’t made tremendous advances in computer technology. It’s almost laughable, really, how much faster and more powerful computers are today than, say, five years ago. Kilobytes. Megabytes. Gigabytes. terabytes. Petabytes. anybody know what comes after that? You better, because in a few years you’ll probably have a machine with that capacity (exabyte, by the way, which translates into one quintillion bytes). and after that, zettabyte and yottabyte capacities loom on the horizon. In 1965, Intel co-founder George Moore predicted that with computer power doubling every two years we’d eventually hit a wall where we would be unable to increase performance through miniaturization and other efficiencies. that day hasn’t come yet. “they made chips as small as they can, and that was the old Moore’s law, so they’ve hit a limit there,” says allan east, a professor in the university of regina’s department of chemistry and biochemistry. “then they found out that they could put multiple cores on a single chip. If they keep coming up with these tricks, I don’t know how much farther they can go.” When I spoke with east, the university had just taken delivery of a new “supercomputer” as it was described in a June 24 press release... this baby, built by Ciara tech in Montreal for over $500,000, has 984 Gb of random access memory (compared to four or six Gb of raM that the average home computer boasts) and a massive central processing unit with 492 cores. that dwarfs the dual and quad core CPus that most home computers have. true, by the time you read this article, the computer will already be considered obsolete in the rarefied circles of supercomputing (where the current champ is Jaguar, a petascale monster built by Cray for oak ridge National Laboratory in oak ridge, tennessee). technology is changing that fast. and while in a perfect world researchers would always have access to state-of-the-art equipment, that’s simply not practical financially.

“the rule of thumb is [that you upgrade] every three or four year,” says east. “but we tend to milk the computer a little longer, so we keep ours for seven years.” during that time, the machines are well-maintained by university technicians but they generally don’t undergo major hardware revamps. “For us, it comes down to [CPu] speed,” says east. “the computer is rack-mounted, so if you wanted you could [replace] the CPus and upgrade that way. but funding tends not to work that way. Instead, we go for a large grant that gives us a whole new computer.” You’d think that replacing CPus would be a practical strategy to upgrade hardware. But it’s more complicated than it first looks. “these computers are so dense and so hot that the fans at the back are quite specialized,” says east. “So if you replace a CPu that’s three gigahertz with one that’s four, you almost need a whole new chassis because it’s going to generate so much more heat.” a large chunk of the money to purchase the new supercomputer came from the federal government under a Canada Foundation for Innovation grant. It will be shared by the departments of mathematics, computer science, and chemistry and biochemistry. Applications in the first two disciplines relate to things like data encryption (to enhance online security) and designing improved algorithms to sort and use large data sets. east will use the computer to perform simulated experiments analyzing carbon-carbon bond cracking in petroleum refining where long tar molecules are broken down into chemical compounds like octanes, propanes and heptanes. To start the process, refiners use a catalyst called zeolite. It’s very precise in its ability to separate the tar molecules into the desired product mix, but to work it requires a temperature of 400 to 500 degrees C. a colleague of east’s has been experimenting with a new ionic liquid catalyst that operates at a much lower temperature. “that’s a big energy [saving],” says east. “the drive for me is to reduce the cost of petroleum refining. As well, you get byproducts like soot and coke that are a little dirty. So if we could lower the temperature that would be a big benefit.” at present, it’s not well understood how the new catalyst operates, so it can’t be controlled with much precision. With the new computer, east will be able to input data using the laws of physics and chemistry, then run simulations to see how things are unfolding at the molecular level. “these kind of calculations couldn’t have been done 15 years ago,” he says. “the simulations done back then were ones in which no bonds broke. “on our last computer, we could simulate roughly 10 picoseconds of molecular time (.00000000001 seconds) and that’d take a week. and the sad thing is, not a lot happens in 10 picoseconds,” says east. “With this new supercomputer we can go for maybe 100 picoseconds and that gives us a fighting chance to actually see something.” Within five years, says East, they should have enough data to tell engineers and designers how the new catalyst works. “then they can take that and maybe design something that has an ionic liquid inside a zeolite or something.”

at the end of our interview, east and I went down to the air-conditioned room on the main floor of the Ad-Hum building where the new computer is installed behind glass. It’s pretty cool. So maybe check it out some time. and don’t worry, it can’t read lips. Not yet anyway.

PhD student receives first endowed award for doctoral studies

Bing Zhou is the first PhD student recipient at the University of Regina to receive the Verna Martin Memorial Scholarship in doctoral Studies. Former regina resident Verna Mae Martin gifted the university nearly $400,000 to create this annual scholarship.

Zhou, a third-year Phd candidate studying in the department of Computer Science, will receive $15,000 from the Verna Martin scholarship and an additional $5,000 from the Faculty of Graduate Studies and research.

"This award will allow me to focus on my studies and will relieve any financial worries I would have had," said Zhou.

"It's important for graduate students to have opportunities such as this because many of us are mature students who have families and other responsibilities that we need to tend to. receiving this award permits me to research and spend time with my family - having balance is key to my success."

Zhou's doctoral work involves implementing a general research strategy that covers the mining of granular information and knowledge structures while applying the discovered knowledge for real-world applications. a prototype system will be implemented. Her research is complementary to existing studies of data mining which do not pay sufficient attention to multiple levels of granularity.

Financial support is critical to fostering opportunities for students to succeed. Graduate s tudents become faculty members and research leaders in our communities, both of which the university of regina sees as important investments, according to university of regina President and Vice-Chancellor, dr. Vianne timmons.

"as our students graduate, they do so with the recognition that they have a responsibility to serve our greater community, just as our donors have helped serve them during their years of study. on behalf of our current and future doctoral students, I would like to express my thanks for Ms. Martin's vision and her long-term commitment to support doctoral-level education at the university of regina. I would also like to congratulate Ms. Zhou on being the first recipient of this scholarship," said Timmons.

One graduate student enrolled in a doctoral program in any field of study will be chosen annually.

PIMS (Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences) Distinguished Lecture Series November 12, 2010: David Kerr, Texas A&M Universityentropy in dynamicsAbstract: The concept of entropy was introduced into ergodic theory by Kolmogorov in the late 1950s. It can be viewed as a measure of the average information gained in learning that the orbit of an unidentified point visits a certain sequence of sets in a given partition of the space. this dynamical version of Shannon's information-theoretic entropy revolutionize the study of measure-preserving actions, which until then had relied on invariants of a spectral, as opposed to combinatorial, nature. entropy theory as originally conceived by Kolmogorov was ultimately seen to apply most generally to actions of amenable groups, for which one can average over partial orbits in a way that produces a dynamical invariant.

Very recently Lewis bowen showed, quite surprisingly, that the theory of measure entropy can be vastly extended to the realm of actions of countable sofic groups. Soficity is a much weaker kind of finite approximation property than amenability and is satisfied for example by all residually finite groups. The definition of entropy in this case required a completely new strategy that replaces the information-theoretic perspective with the statistical-mechanical idea of counting discrete models. Hanfeng Li and I have subsequently developed an alternative and more general approach to sofic entropy that uses operator algebras in an unexpectedly essential way. I will discuss all of these developments and furthermore indicate some applications of the ideas involved to the structure theory of operator algebras.

Abstract: We present techniques developed for numerical modeling of wave propagation, and source-signature removal in seismic imaging, based on a class of linear operators known as Gabor multipliers. these operators are localized Fourier multipliers, whose action is selectively localized by an element of a partition of unity. We discuss boundedness and stability properties for these operators, approximations to Pdes and pseudodifferential operators, and an approximate functional calculus.

• Faculty members in the department held 6 NSerC discovery Grants, which together with a substantial contract, amounted to $1,789,395 of funding in 2010 in support of their long-term research programs in europe (Mainz and CerN (the atLaS group)), Japan (the t2K, tokai-to-Kamioka, group) and the uSa (groups at Jefferson Laboratory). Notably, the regina t2K group completed commissioning in Japan of the Fine Grained detectors built in regina and began the first full year of operation at the new JPARC accelerator complex.

• Faculty members supervised 5 MSc students (2 completed) and 5 Phd students (1 completed) and 5 Postdoctoral Fellows. the department hosted 1 Visiting Student from brazil. these students represent 6 nationalities.

• the department supervised 2 NSerC undergraduate Student research awards (urSas), one of whom spent 4 months participating in our research program at the Institut für Kernphysik in Mainz, Germany.

• Collectively faculty members published 26 refereed articles or book chapters in national and international journals and presented a total of 24 conference papers.

• to bring our enthusiasm for modern physics to a broader audience, our “From Quarks to the Cosmos” class for non-majors was re-launched in 2009. In 2010 we saw a 400% increase in enrolment.

• The department welcomed five external seminar speakers under the auspices of the Prairie university Physics Seminars program and two members of the department reciprocated by speaking at most of the Prairie university Physics departments. International presentations were made in Italy, Greece and brazil.

• Martin Beech published “The Large Hadron Collider: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe” (Springer, 1st edition (august 5, 2010), 231 pages

The Physics Department has identified experimental and theoretical subatomic physics as principal areas of expertise, an additional involvement in astronomy. this research focus was supported by the most recent external review of the department, and is consistent with the university of regina Strategic research Plan that commits to supporting high quality areas of basic research. the department is committed to providing an enviable learning experience for students, and is constantly enhancing the classroom, laboratory, and co-operative education opportunities.

The University of Regina has become the first university outside the United States to become part of an elite group of universities that conducts research into nuclear physics and technology commercialization.

the u of r has accepted an invitation to become a member of the Southeastern universities research association (Sura), a consortium of more than 60 universities in the u.S. as well as its research projects, Sura jointly operates the thomas Jefferson National accelerator Facility in Virginia with the u.S. department of energy.

"this membership demonstrates the high regard the u of r has in the international research community," says the u of r Vice President of research, dr. david Gauthier. "being part of Sura will mean that u of r students and faculty can participate in larger-scale, collaborative, international research projects."

Membership in Sura means opportunities for funding for workshops, conferences and specialized equipment. another important potential benefit is the funding of "bridged positions" to conduct research at Jefferson Lab.

"this also means u of r professors and students will have access to funding for sabbaticals and fellowship programs, providing opportunities to study and teach in the u.S.," says u of r physics professor Zisis Papandreou, the u of r representative on the Sura board.

two other u of r physics faculty members, dr. Garth Huber and dr. George Lolos, will sit on important decision-making committees of SURA. U of R President Dr. Vianne Timmons will be on SURA's Council of Presidents, the body that decides on all recommendations by the board.

the u of r Physics department began work last year on the construction phase of the GlueX experiment, one of the highest priority projects of a $310 million international research effort, which will be looking into how matter is held together.

Supporting Science STUDENTS

Retention Strategies - Supplemental Instruction (SI)the Faculty of Science has made a major commitment to the use of Supplemental Instruction and is focusing its effort around student retention and the development of additional instructional opportunities for students, particularly during the transition year. We are assisting students in courses that have traditionally proven to be a challenge.

Sense of Communitythe Faculty of Science has worked closely with the different Science Student Societies to involve them in joint initiatives as well as society based functions.

• Faculty of Science has committed $200 annually to each department society to support their activities

• Faculty of Science provided dedicated space for the department student societies as well as dedicated space for the pre-professional club

• In 2010, the student societies signed an agreement to form a Science Students Society• a Science Pizza Social is held annually in the Fall semester, which involves the student

department societies, pre-professional societies and the Federated Colleges• the annual Graduation Gala is an event to recognize and celebrate the success of our

graduating students both undergraduate and graduate • Student societies organize a number of social activities and these activities are commonly

attended by faculty and staff • Faculty of Science hosted a research Gala associated with the Fall 2008 Convocation to

highlight the research successes of the Faculty, including our undergraduate and graduate students as well as a High School student The learning Experience

teaching is the one of the fundamental activities of the Faculty of Science. Science expects high quality instruction from all members involved in undergraduate and graduate programs. • the involvement of student leaders in peer-based study activities with faculty support, will

enhance the sense of community within Science while benefiting both recruitment and retention of students

• Faculty members are nominated regularly for teaching awards both internally and nationally • Science has an ongoing program of laboratory infrastructure revitalization in cooperation with

the departments that has allowed for significant upgrading of the instructional facilities; this is an ongoing process and we are continually looking for additional resources to support and enhance this program

• Science has a number of collaborative programs with other faculties and other institutions and we are always exploring new opportunities for collaboration where appropriate as these provide relatively cost-effective opportunities for growth of the Faculty

Science has enhanced the impact of our teaching programs through the development of a number of web-based courses Science is working closely with the Centre for Student accessibility to improve support for students requiring assistance with accessibility. Students are advised to seek the assistance of the associate dean (academic) should they need assistance.

The Faculty of Science wishes to acknowledge the 2010 NSERC

Awards and Scholarships recipients. Peter Leavitt, a professor in the department of biology, will continue for a second term as a tier 1 Canada research Chair in environmental Change and Society. During his first term, Leavitt authored over 50 scientific papers, generated over $11 million in research funds, and advised the Prime Minister of Canada on climate and other environmental change. His research on lake ecosystems has spanned five continents and resulted in the development of a new international framework to predict the effects of climate and societal change on global freshwaters.

In his second term, Leavitt will draw on his expertise to forecast the unique and combined effects of climate change and societal development on water quality and availability in Canada and the world. these studies will include reconstruction of the occurrence of prairie droughts during the past 2000 years, and development of risk assessment models to predict the frequency, duration and intensity of droughts over the next 30 years. together this work will help define how climate change influences the development and stability of modern society and, in turn, how our activities affect the environment.

and Society

Sandra Zilles in the department of Computer Science has been awarded a new Canada research Chair in Computational Learning theory. through her research, Zilles and her team will develop efficient solutions to complex problems in artificial intelligence, using interactive machine learning models and techniques. Machine learning is the design of algorithms that allow computers to learn based on data. For example, machine learning in computers is used every day to personalize advertising in online markets, assist clinicians in the analysis of medical records, and create user preferences in web searches. Zilles studies models in which machines learn from particularly well-chosen data, as though they were interacting with a co-operative teacher. the resulting interactive machine learning algorithms require less data than current algorithms and are more economical. Her research will make intelligent machines exploit the quality of well-chosen data rather than requiring a large quantity of potentially expensive data.

the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of this research and the strong national and international network of researchers Zilles collaborates with will help attract students and researchers to the university of regina, fostering research excellence in artificial intelligence.

Applications are now being accepted at the University of Regina for students who want to create applications.

Starting today, students can register for a new class in the computer science department that will teach students to build apps for iPhones, iPads, BlackBerries or other Android phones.

"This is the hottest technology there is in software development," said Howard Hamilton, head of the computer science department at the U of R.

"Very few of these devices existed five years ago — at least not in the forms they do now. The computing power that's in an iPhone is equivalent to a desktop machine from a couple years ago."

And, said Hamilton, the career opportunities could be endless.

"There's tens of thousands (of apps) being created and some of the people who make them are making millions of dollars from one simple idea," he said.

"That isn't going to happen to most students, but what's going to happen is even within the city, employers are going to start saying, 'We need our materials on the web, but we need it to display in an interesting fashion on someone's mobile device.' "

Applying to have apps made available for the iPhone or iPad — two of the hottest technologies on the market — has been made a relatively simple process. Once an app has been tested, developers apply to Apple and if it is accepted the app will be made available. Developers can set their own prices (if any) and receive 70 per cent of the sales.

The U of R class is being offered in the winter semester, which begins in January, from 7-9:45 p.m. on Wednesday nights. Prior knowledge of object-oriented programming is required.

“one of the mandates of the university is to share knowledge with the community. I do this in a slightly different way - on the radio. I have a semi-regular column on the CbC radio Morning edition, where I talk about issues of computers and technology of interest to the general public. I have discussed diverse topics such as how ebooks have changed the way we read, and how Netflix has changed the way we watch television. From time to time, these discussions are syndicated across the country, such as when a woman followed her GPS into a swamp, and when the Internet group known as “anonymous” hacked the credit card companies in support of wikileaks. as the world of technology changes, I see it as one of my duties to keep informed and to help people understand these changes in the context of their lives.” - david Gerhard, Computer Science, associate Professor

Science Supports SUSTAINABIlITy

dr. britt Hall, department of biology, raised an important concern about the improper disposal of alkaline and other types of batteries. When batteries are disposed in landfills they may be a source of heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury to our environment. toxic heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury may leach out of landfills into soil, grandwater, or surface water, where they have the potential to enter food chains. Spent rechargeable batteries can be recycled locally, however, currently, there are no facilities in the prairie provinces that will recycle alkaline batteries. this prompted Science to initiate the batttery recycling program. In 2010, under the coordination of Lee aument and the Science Stores staff this program was expanded.

the batterY reCYCLING ProGraM has been a major HIt. the containers all across campus are seeing much heavier use than originally anticipated. Science currently empties the containers and sends the batteries to ottawa approximately once a month.

Muriel F. Finlayson ScholarshipsLong-time chemistry laboratory instructor at the university of regina has left a legacy by creating two new scholarships for undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor of Science degree. Muriel e. Finlayson, who passed away august of 2006, left $156,000 in trust to the u of r funding two new scholarships - the Muriel e. Finlayson undergraduate environmental Science Scholarship and the Muriel e. Finlayson undergraduate Computational Science research Scholarship.

“these scholarships provide an exciting new opportunity for Faculty of Science students,” says dean of Science, Dr. Brien Maguire. “This is the first time we are offering undergraduate scholarships for scientific research. Not only does this new scholarship agreement speak to the quality and calibre of undergraduate students in our faculty, it provides students with the financial support they need to pursue their academic dreams.”

Finlayson, a graduate of the university of Saskatchewan, was a world traveller and a dedicated football fan. She also enjoyed curling, needlework and crafts. She taught as chemistry laboratory instructor at the u of S before accepting a job in the Faculty of Science at the u of r. She retired from the u of r in 1993.

“Muriel had a life long passion for learning. She particularly loved to challenge those in scientific studies to pursue excellence. these scholarships are a vehicle to promote that endeavour,” says Nancy Glover, cousin and executor of Finlayson.

Faculty of Science students are eligible to apply for the undergraduate scholarships upon entering into their third year of study providing they have a minimum grade point average of 85 per cent. both scholarships will be available to students this spring.

“I would like to offer my family’s thanks for your generous support of the Canada Wide Virtual Science Fair. We had two children who participated this year, and to say that it was enlightening experience for the whole family would be an understatement.

our kids chose to be home-schooled this year, via the ebuS in british Columbia. they have many exta-curricular activities that connect them with other children, but we are always looking for new ways to spark an interest in learning and specifically an interest in scientific inquiry. It was a delight to sit with them and read over the many VSF projects from previous years, and to learn that Children from right across the country would be creating experiments just like them. We felt as though we were part of something much, much bigger and we were inspired by the amazing websites that we viewed.

thank you for your support of this very worthwhile program. You are making a difference in the lives of children from coast to coast.” --Coquitlam, bC

University of Regina Summer Sports (and ‘Science’) Camps

For the third consecutive year Science collaborated with the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies to provide a ‘science’ component to the Summer Sports Camps. our part of the series included activities from all six departments. the science portions were highly subscribed and we intend to increase our involvement next summer.

the Science camp program provides children with the opportunity to explore science in a controlled environment. Instructors from the Faculty of Science engage children in experiments and hands on learning around the campus. over a third of the Science program is delivered with Professors in the Faculty of Science assisting in experiments like turning copper to gold, creating their own composting unit, creating their own computer game to name a few of examples. Children will spend approximately an hour and a half participating in science and the other hour and a half of the program participating in sports and recreational activities.


“as recipient of the Canada Wide Virtual Science Fair university of regina - Faculty of Science Summa Cum Laude award, I would like to thank your Faculty for its support of the Canada Wide Virtual Science Fair and for sponsoring my award. awards sponsored by organizations such as yours provide such incentive for creating a project for the VSF. Your support of the VSF greatly encourages students such as me to continue my studies in science and present research using a unique web site medium.

the VSF has given me the opportunity to combine my research in biotechnology with website design. Completing my project ‘utilizing antisense odN technology as a means for silencing starch biosynthetic genes in wheat’ and presenting my research on my own designed website was a very unique experience. this is my fourth year completing a project for the VSF and every year I have learned more. It is only because of my participation in the VSF that I have learned as much as I have in website design combined with scientific research.

once again, thank you for your support of the Virtual Science Fair.” --Grade 10, Saskatoon, SK
