The design of scientific figures is a key step that all researchers undertake as they present or publish their work, but one that they typically receive little training or education on how to do effectively. The Waterloo Electrochemical Society Student Chapter (WatECS) is delighted to invite you to attend a workshop on designing scientific figures, hosted by Professor Felice Frankel.

Frankel is a science photographer and research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and an internationally recognized expert in scientific graphics, visualization, photography, and communication of scientific results to the public.

Join the Water Institute for an interactive event exploring what water means to different people, its true value, and how we can better protect this vital resource together.

Digital twins and augmented reality can be used for simulating physical objects and processes. This can be especially helpful for improving their design to better ensure the dependability of infrastructure and operations where lives might be at stake. With the use of such digital realities, one can also create a competitive edge to improve efficiency and advance capabilities.

An in vitro model of oxidative stress in bovine cortical bone to induce bone fragility, by Cyrus Fiori

With the occurrence of healthcare associated infections (HAIs), the development of novel antimicrobial materials has drawn significant research attention. However, developing an antimicrobial material that can be long-term effective and environmentally friendly without cytotoxicity is still a technical challenge and normally results in large production costs.
