MEA recordings can also reveal microscale functional connectivity, topology, and network dynamics-patterns seen in brain networks across spatial scales. Network topology is frequently characterized in neuroimaging with graph theoretical metrics.

- - Wild waterfowl in Hong Kong's Marshes were found to carry various astroviruses, which were identified through testing fecal samples and employing DNA barcoding for host identification.
- - Notable results included the nearly complete genome of an Avastrovirus 4 clade sample (MP22-196), indicating a unique subclade within the species and possessing distinct genomic features compared to other avian astroviruses.
- - The study highlights the discovery of a modified sgRNA sequence and a shorter 3' UTR in MP22-196, contributing to a broader understanding of the Avastrovirus 4 clade and its genetic makeup.

- D'Ann Rochon, who passed away on November 29, 2022, made significant contributions to plant virology and was dedicated to mentoring young scientists.
- She worked as a research scientist for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia.
- Her research advanced the understanding of tombusviruses, including innovations in virus structure, transmission by fungal zoospores, and plant-virus interactions, as well as developing important diagnostic antibodies for plum pox virus and little cherry virus 2.
