50 Years of Faculty of Science Stories

Some years sparkle, some years shine. For this faculty of science, 2024 was a full-on fireworks display – one of the best years on record. In 2025, we continue to move boldly forward by designing the new science building, expanding groundbreaking research, and graduating more skilled talent – in short, getting science done in a way that drives Alberta’s future.
