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.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has launched a new seminar series, Quantum Nano Collision (QNC) Seminar Series, to deepen the engagement of the Waterloo researchers who work at the interface of quantum and nanotechnologies. This seminar series will also provide opportunities for senior graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates to present their innovative work along with the faculty members to bring together the excitement around these cutting-edge technologies that would shape our future.

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 the virtual President’s Forum for a conversation with President Vivek Goel as he shares his perspectives and opportunities for the University.
