Protecting honeybees through student-led innovation 🌼🐝
A student team at Queen’s is tackling a global threat to pollinators with an ambitious synthetic biology project designed to protect honeybees. Bringing together biology, biochemistry, chemistry, engineering, and biomedical science, the team is developing a treatment with the potential to be more sustainable than existing methods.
The project is particularly exciting because it sees first-year students getting involved in interdisciplinary research, showing how collaboration can lead to real-world impact.
The teams tells us more: ow.ly/OWGu50ZcHWF.

🖌️A bus ticket, a stone-carved Queen, and the creative life of the College: these were among the starting points for new student-edited chapbook ‘Reginæ’.
The chapbook, supported by the Walter Pater Grant, brings together poetry, short fiction, watercolour, and experimental writing by members of Queen’s.
For its founding editor Parth, a graduate student reading for the Master’s in Public Policy, the format offered something more tangible than a PDF and more intimate than a magazine: an object to read, share, and keep as a piece of College life.
As Parth puts it, creativity at Queen’s “is there, mostly quiet, and a great deal of it asks only to be asked.”
