Calling all first-year Science students! We know at the end of first year you’re likely thinking about ‘what’s next?’ And whether you’re in a regular program or co-op program, we know that careers are probably on your mind.

Gatekeepers and Bypasses: From Nucleoside Transporter Biology to Novel Approaches in Drug Delivery

Prof. Imogen Coe
Professor of Chemistry and Biology
Toronto Metropolitan University

In-person: C2-361 (Reading Room)

Among the diversity of exoplanets discovered in the last few decades are a particularly intriguing type called lava worlds. In this month's KPL astronomy talk, Dr. Lisa Dang will share how we find these scorching hot rocky planets, and discuss how we can study them and what you could experience if you were to visit a lava world.

Equity as Infrastructure: Recalibrating the foundations of scientific excellence

Scientifc excellence is typically assessed through outputs - publications, grands, citations. But excellence is produced by systems: by research culture, team dynamics, design choices and institutional incentives. This talk reframes equity not as an add-on, but as core infrastructure that shapes rigour, validity, innovation and impact. Moving beyond performative EDI requires recalibrating the foundational conditions that determine scientific performance.
