Battle of the Bugs

Several McMaster researchers weigh in on the value of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research, and why we’re a lot closer to winning the battle against bacteria, viruses, parasites and other creepy things trying to take over your body.

McMaster at War: First World War

As we approach the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, McMaster historians, alumni and staff look back on the University’s lasting connections to the Great War. See additional video content below. The second half of this feature, covering the Second World War, will be published in the Fall 2014 edition of the Times.

Living Life at 24 Frames Per Second

Martyn Burke graduated from McMaster in 1964, and has built a remarkable career as an acclaimed writer, journalist and filmmaker. The Times caught up with the globe-trotting Burke at his Toronto home for the latest edition of Meet McMaster.
