Bystander Training

IQC will be hosting a training session open to current IQC staff, faculty and research assistant professors.

Bystander Intervention can help create a sense of belonging, care, and respect within our communities. The Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office (SVPRO) is conducting training across the UWaterloo campus to provide skills and resources to help people intervene when they see a harmful, or potentially harmful, situation.

In partnership with the Kitchener Public Library, join John Donohue for a conversation with author and researcher Chad Orzel. They'll be talking about Orzel's latest book, A Brief History of Timekeeping.

About the book:
Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.

Meet with experts who have taken their academic experience and found opportunities to bring quantum to market. As part of this panel, they will discuss their personal pathway into commercialization including challenges and lessons learned.

FemPhys and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are hosting an online mentoring event for undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Waterloo. Mentors, all women or of minoritized identities with backgrounds in STEM, will share their experiences and inspire the upcoming generations of scientists and people in STEM. 

Where can an undergraduate degree in mathematics, science or engineering take you? Hear from panelists about their own career journeys launched from STEM degrees.

Whether you’re deciding what to study or if you are already in university, bring your questions for the Women in STEM panelists and learn more about different career pathways. Join us live on YouTube - set your reminder!
