The next edition of the BAtl (Bioinformatics Atlantic Network) seminar series is Tuesday May 19th at 5pm (NDT). Join us in person or online to explore bioinformatics-related research happening at MUN @memorialu.bsky.social @memorialuscience.bsky.social batl.bio/2026/04/28/m...

@mun-cs.bsky.social became a department in 1978 with 7 faculty and 2 support staff. Today, the Computer Science department has 21 faculty and lecturers, 12 staff and hundreds of grad and undergrad students, who research topics like how to use AI models, build prosthetic limbs, and build robots. 🤖

Dr. Xianta Jiang's research is showcased in this news clip: www.youtube.com/live/qELGRXm... @memorialuscience.bsky.social @memorialu.bsky.social
