May 15th and 16th, Falling Walls Engage Hub Canada hosted 30 science outreach practitioners, from across the country, for a bilingual event titled 鈥淭he Power of the Pitch: A Funding and Skills-building Workshop for Canadian Science Engagers鈥�.
In a series of workshops, participants learned first-hand from funders what they are looking for in successful proposals and created quick pitches for new science engagement projects.
Congratulations to , Department of Biology, for being awarded the 2023 Leo Yaffe Award for Excellence in Teaching!听
The outreach branch of 平特五不中鈥檚 and Branches joined forces to offer a new science program called Outbound Explore. The groups collaborated with the Cree community of Chisasibi in Northern Quebec, to share experiences and knowledge with youth on science and post-secondary education at 平特五不中, with the hopes of inspiring the next generation of scientists.

It鈥檚 a sunny afternoon at the Office of Science Education office, and I鈥檝e just sat down with Dr. Jasmin Chahal and Alex Wang to talk about the education research they undertook when they teamed up to assess how self-reflection and pre-lab activities affect students鈥� confidence levels and success in a Microbiology and Immunology 384 Lab course. So, how did this project get started?聽
Just shy of 100 faculty, students, and friends packed the Redpath Auditorium on May 12th to celebrate the retirement of Graham Bell, James 平特五不中 Professor in the Department of Biology at 平特五不中. For the occasion, Bell delivered a 鈥渇inal 鈥渟eminar to the audience, which included his wife and three sons, surveying his career as an evolutionary biologist.
On May 12, 平特五不中 co-hosted the last day of the alongside the Royal Norwegian Embassy and Arctic Frontiers. Over 60 participants, comprising representatives from the governments of Canada, Norway, and Quebec, as well as 平特五不中 faculty, researchers, and students gathered in the 平特五不中 Faculty Club Ballroom to discuss science, policy, infrastructure, and business in the Arctic.
24 Hours of Science鈥擰uebec鈥檚 biggest science and technology festival鈥攖ook place May 5 and 6. 平特五不中鈥檚 many science outreach programs joined in on the annual event again this year, with the Chemistry, Physics, Trottier Space Institute, Earth and Planetary Sciences, STEMM Diversity, Science Outreach, and Gault Nature Reserve teams contributing to the fun.
Chemists from 平特五不中 have discovered the possibility of creating biopolymer-based 鈥渘anosponges鈥� using milled softwood pulp, a sustainable and less toxic alternative to current drug delivery systems. Although the structures developed by the researchers are too big for anti-cancer drug delivery by injection or oral intake, they could potentially be used in dressing wounds, for medical implants, and to capture unwanted materials in wastewater.

March 21 might be the first official day of spring, but Earth Day, a month later, can feel like the beginning of the warmer seasons 鈥� at least in Montreal. The Redpath Museum, which to the public, commemorated Earth Day this year through a series of themed activities over several days.
The has announced the thirty students from 10 countries who will form its first cohort of global scholars at 平特五不中, arriving in September 2023. Among them are four students who will be pursuing degrees in the Faculty of Science.
On le sait d茅sormais : la pr茅servation de l鈥檈nvironnement ne s鈥檃rr锚te pas 脿 la simple r茅duction des 茅missions de carbone dans l鈥檃tmosph猫re.
