U of R Research Team Makes Dino-mite Discovery
Researchers from the departments of physics, biology, and earth sciences, along with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and Canadian Light Source, examined preserved blood vessel structures inside a rib bone from Scotty, the famous Tyrannosaurus rex unearthed in Saskatchewan in the ‘90s.
The multidisciplinary study led to discoveries into how dinosaurs may have healed from injuries and new evolutionary information. The findings were recently published in Scientific Reports.

Our Strengths

Partners in Truth and Reconciliation
We believe that through continuous learning we can strengthen relationships with Indigenous peoples, their communities, and their institutions. We are committed to reconciliation and believe that by listening we can learn and by learning we can grow. We demonstrate this commitment by incorporating Indigenous ways into our research, teaching, and learning. We aspire to walk together with our Indigenous partners, so that we may build a stronger, more inclusive future.

Health and Wellness
We believe that to be truly successful, one must be healthy in all ways. Our commitment to health and well-being is demonstrated through the programs we teach, the research we conduct, and the supports we offer. We understand that wellness encompasses physical, mental, environmental, and spiritual well-being, and provide opportunities for our students to find fulfillment in all ways. We are committed to building a healthier future, which we demonstrate through our nationally recognized wellness programming and world-class research.

Hands-on Learning
We believe there is no better teacher than experience. This belief led us to pioneer the first co-operative education program in Western Canada more than half a century ago. Our history of providing hands-on learning opportunities has given our institution decades of insight, allowing us to fine-tune our programs and offerings so that students reap the rewards in the real world. Our students enjoy plentiful opportunities to gain experience in both paid and volunteer positions, resulting in career-ready graduates who find work fast.
