South Shore school lunch program setting the standard | SaltWire #school #lunch #educationST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Memorial professor Dr. Liam Morrissey has received $150,000 from the Canadian Space Agency to further his research on understanding how materials perform in space environments.

“There's people that do these global models, but all these models are very dependent on inputs,” said Morrissey. “So, when something breaks, it's not sudden, it's because those little pieces had trouble before we could notice.” "Besides the atomic scale, myself and my team have been leveraging flyby missions and analyzing data. We're refining models to better predict their formation and dynamic interaction with the sun."

“​​We need to take a step back and investigate these things in more detail, with better models and better experiments, so we can actually say what's going on when we build the structure,” said Morrissey.
