In recognition of International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGS) on February 11, 2026, SFU spoke to two Canada Research Chairs in the Faculty of Science about their journeys to become leading science researchers at SFU, and the lessons they have learned along the way.

A new Simon Fraser University study has found that Canada's cycling network is growing, but not everyone is benefitting.

A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of science's biggest questions - the Hubble tension.

Just a few days in simulated microgravity can subtly change the way women's blood clots, sparking bigger questions about health monitoring protocols for astronauts who can spend six months or more in orbit, say Simon Fraser researchers.

A few years ago, researcher Maya Gislason's young child came home from school with her crayon drawing of the Earth in 2020 and 2050. "The first was blue and green; the second was a planet on fire," she says.

Simon Fraser University (SFU) researchers have received over $4.4 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) through its Project Grant: Fall 2025 program to advance health research and health outcomes.

Before she's even crossed the convocation stage, fourth-year data science student Rajandeep Kaur has leveraged her co-op experience into meaningful employment with one of Canada's top employers. Kaur landed a co-op position with the RCMP's British Columbia headquarters, known as E Division, as a junior data scientist after applying through Simon Fraser University's job dashboard.

One of the hurdles new faculty member Yingjie Li experienced when she joined SFU last fall was the transition from being a PhD candidate focused on research, to being responsible for research administration duties in a brand new environment.

Simon Fraser University's Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) is celebrating five years of transforming how universities connect with the world. Since its inception in 2020, CERi has supported hundreds of students, scholars, and community organizations through flexible research space, funding, graduate training, and media production - all designed to mobilize academic knowledge into action.
