Events

Join the University of Waterloo for an enlightening conversation between two Nobel Laureates as they discuss the important role scientists can play in debunking misinformation.  

Women in PreLaw, in collaboration with UW Mock Trial, Legal Studies Society, UW Law and Business Nexus, will join the event hosted by UW Moot Court. This event is a beginning-of-term event targeted towards first-year students interested in pre-law programs (and any of these clubs) and will serve to improve member engagement and gain exposure.

You're invited to attend the Friesen Prize Lecture, a public event and panel discussion featuring Dr. Gordon Guyatt, recipient of the 2024 Henry G. Friesen International Prize in Health Research, awarded by Friends of CIHR.

In this public talk, Dr. Dolphin will explore what it means to be a researcher aiming to do ‘good science’, while also doing ‘science for good’.

As a bioarchaeologist who works with human remains from archaeological sites in order to reconstruct the lives of past peoples, Dr. Dolphin’s research revolves around collaboration. Working with the dead requires strong relationships with, and sensitivities to, not only your colleagues and national governments, but to the local communities without whom you could not do your work at all.
