SUMMARY:The Art of Explaining Science to Non-Specialists
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn how to help non-specialists understand key knowledge and novel research in your field? Join us for a 60-minute webinar where you’ll learn strategies for writing “explainers” that are clear and compelling to people outside of your field. This knowledge could be applied to writing captions on social media\, describing cutting-edge research\, and more. \nParticipants will:\n• Consider how you can use your knowledge and writing skills to help non-specialists better understand scientific or engineering research\n• Identify stylistic and structural elements of science communication\n• Practice techniques for writing texts that are clear and compelling \nSince 2017\, Dr. Diane Dechief has been designing and teaching science communication courses at the McGill Writing Centre. She was a facilitator at the 2020 national science communication conference\, ComSciCon CANADA

SUMMARY:Stem Cells from the Sofa Speaker Series: Patrick Bedford
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in bringing your academic discovery closer to clinical translation? Maybe you are being asked in your grant application to identify commercialization goals. Perhaps you have a really knowledgeable and keen team of scientists and clinicians encouraging you to advance a therapeutic product. In any of these scenarios you will need to obtain and spend investments wisely. \nIn this episode of Stem Cells from the Sofa\, Patrick Bedford\, Founder & Principal Consultant\, weCANreg Consulting Group\, Inc.\, will offer a high-level perspective of when\, what\, and how you can “Regulatory DIY” and when you should consider investing in regulatory expertise. In addition to offering some insights\, SCN has coordinated with weCANreg Consulting Group Inc to make two simple and useful tools available to help you translate some of your research plans into regulatory plans. These tools will be available on the SCN website shortly after the presentation. \nPatrick’s talk is entitled\, “Cell therapy development for academics: when\, what and how to regulatory DIY” \nIntended audience: scientists\, trainees and research professionals.

SUMMARY:Self-Assembly – A Tale of Molecular Love
DESCRIPTION:SCWIST BROWN BAG SERIES 2020\nSelf-assembly – a tale of molecular love\nHave you ever wondered how bodies are built\, how they regrow and repair themselves but none of the man-made objects have those traits? For example\, consider natural processes like DNA replication and protein folding\, these processes are complex\, extremely efficient\, and hardly ever make mistakes. These life processes taught chemists to stop synthesizing everything from scratch\, rather that molecules can unite to form complex systems by themselves when provided with the right conditions. This phenomenon in which molecules make themselves is referred as self-assembly. Because self-assembled systems are not man-made\, existing tools in the synthesis labs are not enough to study how these systems change depending on the environment. In this talk\, I will highlight how light can be used as a tool to understand self-assembled systems at the fundamental level and how chemical triggers can be used to manipulate the outcomes of these complex systems. This science provides an opportunity to make better drug delivery systems that have an important functional characteristic “CONTROL”. \nKeywords: self-assembly\, photochemistry\, drug delivery \n  \nProgram: \n12:00-12:10 Welcome \n12:10-12:35 Presentation \n12:35-12:55 Q&A \n12:55-1:00 Closing \nSPEAKER\nSree Gayathri Talluri is a PhD candidate at the Department of Chemistry\, University of Victoria. Born and brought up in India\, Sree completed her Integrated Masters in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology\, Kharagpur. She has over 7 years of research experience at the bench and worked in several academic and industry labs across the world. She is a trained photo-chemist with expertise in self-assembled systems. During her PhD\, Sree is combining her expertise in photochemistry to understand self-assembled systems at the fundamental level. Her research focuses on investigating the function in self-assembled systems using structure and dynamics studies. \nSree is passionate about science communication and outreach. She is currently the interview coordinator for UVic Women in Science\, where she works towards amplifying the voices and highlighting the experiences of women in the scientific community across the Vancouver Island. She is a Co-STEM specialist at BC girl guides\, where she actively works on designing and developing STEM experiments for girls. She is a scicomm enthusiast and loves to promote her research to the general audience on different platforms. Outside of work\, Sree is a part time hiker\, experimental baker and loves to travel.

SUMMARY:Self-Assembly – A Tale of Molecular Love
DESCRIPTION:SCWIST BROWN BAG SERIES 2020\nSelf-assembly – a tale of molecular love\nHave you ever wondered how bodies are built\, how they regrow and repair themselves but none of the man-made objects have those traits? For example\, consider natural processes like DNA replication and protein folding\, these processes are complex\, extremely efficient\, and hardly ever make mistakes. These life processes taught chemists to stop synthesizing everything from scratch\, rather that molecules can unite to form complex systems by themselves when provided with the right conditions. This phenomenon in which molecules make themselves is referred as self-assembly. Because self-assembled systems are not man-made\, existing tools in the synthesis labs are not enough to study how these systems change depending on the environment. In this talk\, I will highlight how light can be used as a tool to understand self-assembled systems at the fundamental level and how chemical triggers can be used to manipulate the outcomes of these complex systems. This science provides an opportunity to make better drug delivery systems that have an important functional characteristic “CONTROL”. \nKeywords: self-assembly\, photochemistry\, drug delivery \n  \nProgram: \n12:00-12:10 Welcome \n12:10-12:35 Presentation \n12:35-12:55 Q&A \n12:55-1:00 Closing \nSPEAKER\nSree Gayathri Talluri is a PhD candidate at the Department of Chemistry\, University of Victoria.
