BEER-SHEVA, Israel.December 21, 2020 - The identification of people wearing masks has often presented a unique challenge during the pandemic. A new study by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Israel and York University in Canada reveals the impact of this predicament and its potentially significant repercussions.
The findings were just published in the journal
Scientific Reports.
“Our record research investment, combined with moving up three places in these rankings to 11th place overall, is a sign of our growing research momentum and a credit to the stellar work of our researchers, particularly in areas related to our signature areas of food and water security, synchrotron sciences, and One Health-related infectious disease research,” said USask Vice-President Research Karen Chad. “As the only university in the country with two Canada First Research Excellence Fund programs one in food security and another in water security and with two of Canada’s major science facilities the Canadian Light Source and VIDO-InterVac we are well placed to continue making important discoveries that benefit our region, the nation and beyond.”
