NSCAD University is proud to welcome Dr. Joshua Schwab-Cartas as our newest Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Global Indigenous Cultural Practice. 🎉

An assistant professor in NSCAD's Master of Art Education program, Dr. Schwab-Cartas has spent more than 20 years working alongside Indigenous youth and Elders across numerous Indigenous communities. His research, teachings, and creative practice are grounded in relationship-building, community engagement, and Indigenous ways of knowing. 📚

“My goal has been to foster connections among Indigenous nations by creating opportunities for us to learn from one another within our own cultural contexts and environments," he says. "This is not about promoting a pan-Indigenous framework, but about encouraging mutual understanding while respecting the distinctiveness of each nation.”

Congratulations to Dr. Schwab-Cartas on this exciting achievement! 👏

What if diagnosing digestive health was as simple as swallowing a pill? 💊✨

At Acadia University, researchers are combining artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to develop a swallowable capsule that can track and analyze the entire gastrointestinal system. The goal: help detect conditions earlier, more accurately, and with far less discomfort for patients.

By building the data and AI systems behind this technology, Acadia students and researchers are turning raw signals into meaningful insights that could reduce the need for invasive procedures and ease pressure on Canada’s healthcare system.

As Dr. Esteve Hassan puts it: “Anything that can help alleviate the pressure on our healthcare system will be beneficial. It’s non-invasive, removes complexities, and reduces the need for a specialist’s time.”

From campus research to better patient care, this is how Canadian universities are helping make healthcare simpler, faster and more accessible for families across the country.
