Right now, nearly one in three Canadians are living with or prediabetes, and the numbers are on the rise. Health experts aren’t sure why incidence has been increasing so dramatically.

What is accounting for this alarming trend? Carleton University Faculty of Science researcher Jenny Bruin believes that exposure to environmental contaminants is an important culprit.

Bruin is investigating which contaminants are behind the increase in both types of diabetes. She is also part of a major project that’s developing -secreting beta cells that can be transplanted into the body to treat .

Roughly 50 per cent of all food produced in Canada is thrown away before it reaches anyone’s plate.

From the day a crop is planted through the harvesting, processing, distribution and storage stages, myriad problems can arise, including pests, mould and preparation waste.

Reducing spoilage is one the most effective things we can do to ensure access to healthy and affordable food, says Carleton Chemistry researcher Tyler Avis, director of Carleton’s Institute of Biochemistry and a founding faculty member in the university’s Food Science program.

Avis and his team are exploring the use of beneficial microorganisms to outcompete the bacteria, viruses and fungi that damage or destroy plants.

Meet Arielle Kayabaga, a student in Carleton’s Master of Political Management program. Arielle first came to Canada as an 11-year-old refugee from the central east African country of Burundi. Twenty years later, she was elected as the Member of Parliament for London West.

“I never imagined running for Parliament. I lived on the margins. I grew up in social housing. But I realized how much power [elected officials] had over our lives. Decisions were being made in these spaces and there weren’t many people who look like me—who have the same experiences that I do—who were sitting at those tables.”
