Cardinal's Call: A Transdisciplinary Inspiration
Ten patient minutes yielded this photo close to Lassonde building of Polytechnique Montréal.
The cardinal's call echoes the spirit of transdisciplinary engineering research.

1) patient nest-building symbolizes the perseverance required in complex problem-solving.
2) social acceptance within the ecosystem reflects the importance of community engagement.
3) natural sense of place speaks to the significance of context in developing sustainable solutions.
Just as the cardinal weaves together diverse materials to build its nest, our researchers combine knowledge from various fields to tackle complex challenges.
This reminds us that engineering is more than technical expertise. It's about observing, learning, and adapting, just as the cardinal flourishes in its environment. It's about collaborating across disciplines, just as building its community.
Let the cardinal's call inspire us to continue our transdisciplinary journey, where innovation and collaboration converge to create a brighter, more sustainable world.
