9th Annual World Wetlands Day Research Symposium at the University of Waterloo
Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.
What makes a superconducting qubit tick? How does experience in a research lab prepare you for working on major projects after graduation?
We’ll talk about these topics and more with IQC alumnus Thomas McConkey, now a Microwave Design Engineer at IBM Q, at the next virtual fireside chat.
Tune in live on YouTube.
Professor German Sciaini from the Department of Chemistry will introduce you to the new development in his research lab where capabilities of Transmission Electron Microscopy in liquid are pushed to its extreme. You can now take images and even record videos of moving nanoparticles with unprecedented resolution. Learn how WatCo is helping Professor Sciaini's group commercialize his technology, and how various types of Intellectual Property come to play.
Join Kate and Nicole online through March Break to help them recover science lab supplies borrowed (and then lost!) by Mr. Goose and King Warrior! Each day they will guide you through a new science discovery challenge for you to complete at home.
You’re invited to an armchair chat with The Right Honourable David Johnston, the 28th Governor General of Canada.
Sharing ideas from his book Trust: Twenty Ways to Build a Better Country, the University of Waterloo’s former president will explore how to strengthen our society by taking action that builds trust within our relationships, our organizations and our communities.
Join the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics for a public lecture (offered in-person and online) as Dr. Katie Mack explores "Physics at the End of the Universe": The Big Bang theory tells the story of the beginning of the Universe, our cosmic home for the last 13.8 billion years. But how does the story end? I’ll share what modern astrophysics tells us about the ultimate fate of the cosmos, and what the catastrophic destruction of all reality would look like to anyone still around to see it.
Join us on October 28th for an extravaganza of hands-on science discovery for school-age kids.
As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Dr. Patricia Chow-Fraser, Professor, Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, will present: Déjà vu or Jamais vu? Using a 20-y record to discern how coastal wetlands of eastern and northern Georgian Bay respond to climate-induced water-level disturbances.
This event is now sold out. Adults and teens are invited to learn about the upcoming total solar eclipse from some surprising perspectives.
In this presentation Professor Timothy Caulfield explores what the most recent evidence tells us about the nature and source of the current infodemic. He will also provide science-informed recommendations about how best to engage individuals and communities.
