As part of McGill’s efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, a natural gas boiler in our downtown powerhouse has been replaced by two electric boilers. Additionally, we have installed equipment that allows us to conduct annual boiler combustion tests. These tests might cause a large steam plume and high levels of noise. It is important to note that the tests will not pose any health or safety risk.

Dear members of the McGill community,
Machine learning tutors affect learners in unforeseen ways, both positive and negative
Virtual reality simulators can help learners improve their technical skills faster and with no risk to patients. In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.
We are glad to inform you that the basement of the Octagon section of the Raymond Building is open again as of Monday, Sept. 11.
