#WesternU PhD candidate Sabrina Staples stared at a small silicone chip for months, trying to coax cells into doing something remarkable. It paid off.
She's the lead author on a study that improves understanding of blood vessel growth.

Hi all. Frank passed peacefully with the love of his family on July 18, 2025 in London, ON. He was a wonderful human being who shared much of his life with you. We could not have asked for a better father, grandfather, friend, colleague, or mentor. 1/

@lisaporter.bsky.social , your poem is truly touching, as Henry Van Dyke’s words say so much about how love shapes our experience of time.
