“We want to learn how neurons talk to each other.”

Rising Stars

As part of the Faculty of Science’s commitment to advancing science education, we welcomed two pedagogy professors in 2022: Carina Rebello, Department of Physics and Krystal Nunes, Department of Chemistry & Biology.

This year, we also introduced a new position, Indigenous Education Advisor to the Dean. Brooke Filsinger joins us to advance initiatives and integrate Indigenous perspectives into STEM education and research, which play an essential role in building a more equitable and diverse scientific community at TMU.
