Latest Research Updates – September 2020
Call for Research Candidates for Esoteric Study
September 10, 2020 – Dr. Franklin Talbot, Professor of Psychology and Anthropology at Seagrave University, has placed an open call for able-bodied candidates for a somewhat controversial study to take place on September 25th to 27th, 2020, at Machesney Lake in Massanoga, Ontario. Taking up the research efforts of the recently deceased Dr. Herbert West, Dr. Talbot has come under some scrutiny for remaining tight-lipped about the objectives of his research. Dr. Talbot has hinted at unorthodox methodologies focused on “lifting the veil”, suggesting that this study will bring about “new breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of human existence.” Interested candidates are encouraged to view further details here.

Dr. Parks Appointed as Ontario Excellence Research Chair
September 3, 2020 – Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry has appointed Seagrave University’s Dr. Eugenia Parks as the latest Ontario Excellence Research Chair (OERC) in the field of neuroscience. This announcement is part of the Government of Canada’s investment of over $65 million to establish OERCs to further Canada’s standing as a global centre of excellence in science, research and innovation. Dr. Parks plans to build an ambitious, cross-disciplinary research centre at Seagrave. Dr. Parks and her team will work to bridge the gaps between neuroscience and psychology, allowing for a deeper understanding of the human brain.
