SUMMARY:Science Slam
DESCRIPTION:It’s September\, so it’s back to school\, back to work\, and BACK TO SLAMMING! \nFor those of you who have never experienced the wonder of Science Slam\, welcome! We are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back\, relax\, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory. \nWhat exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam\, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather to share their science with you – the audience. Competitors have five minutes to present on any science topic without the use of a slideshow and are judged based on communication skills\, audience impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged! \nWhether you’re a researcher\, student\, educator\, artist\, or communicator\, our stage is open to you. If you’ve got a science topic you’re researching\, or just a topic you’re excited about\, send in an application! If you’re not sure about an idea\, just ask! \nApplication link: https://forms.gle/y5nQZwLzVUcRiHZT9 \nYouTube channel (for creative inspiration): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWmI8llf3pAW5xtbvnXmsog \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. We’ll see you there! \nThis event is a part of this year’s Science Odyssey’s national campaign that celebrates Canadian achievements in science\, technology\, engineering\, arts and mathematics. For more information\, check out http://www.sciod.ca/. \nAccessibility Notes: \nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Sto:lo\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, are are guests of these territories and must act accordingly. \nScience Slam is an inclusive event\, as a result hate speech and abuse will not be tolerated. This includes anti-blackness\, anti-indigenous\, transphobia\, homophobia\, biphobia\, islamophobia\, xenophobia\, fatphobia\, ableism\, transmisogyny\, misogyny\, femmephobia\, cissexism\, and anti-immigrant attitudes.

SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club Reads "Hidden Figures"
DESCRIPTION:In our third meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club we will be reading “Hidden Figures” by Margot Lee Shetterly. Join us at Hycroft Manor to discuss how women are included in science\, and discussions around womens’ contributions to space explorations. This book takes a deeper dive into the lives of women computers at NASA and is a good follow-up to ‘Broad Band’\, an overview of women in computing\, that we read as our first book! \nWe will do a quick overview of the book at the beginning of the session followed by a deeper discussion. It is suggested to read the book\, but we welcome you to attend and contribute to the discussion either way. All voices and perspectives are welcomed. \n“Hidden Figures” is available online and in select book stores\, and or may be ordered in by your favourite bookstore. Watching the movie is also a great option if you prefer a visual story. \nFAQs \nAbout the STEMminist Book Club Vancouver chapter: \nThe plan is to mirror the STEMminist Bookclub that was started in Australia by Dr. Caroline Ford (@DrCFord). We will aim to read one book every two months followed by an in-person meeting here in Vancouver\, BC. You can also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc. \nIf you are interested in the contributions of women to science\, learning more about the history of science\, and want to talk about some of the issues and stories brought up in the books this is the book club for you! \nUpdate: We have received funds from SCWIST to provide treats! Book lending to come for future events. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nFree street parking in the surrounding area. \nBusing:\n99 bus\, walk or bus up Granville St from Broadway to 16th Ave\n33 bus\, walk up McRae Ave. \nWhat can I bring into the event?\n \nWe welcome you to bring your children. Give us a heads up and we will organize a fun activity for your kids. \nTea and Coffee\, will be available for purchase from the venue. Bringing your own non-alcoholic drinks is also welcome. \nFood will be available for purchase (come early)\, and you are also welcome to bring your own. \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nVancityStemminists@gmail.com

You can also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc. \nIf you are interested in the contributions of women to science\, learning more about the history of science\, and want to talk about some of the issues and stories brought up in the books this is the book club for you! \nUpdate: We have received funds from SCWIST to provide treats! Book lending to come for future events. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nFree street parking in the surrounding area. \nBusing:\n99 bus\, walk or bus up Granville St from Broadway to 16th Ave\n33 bus\, walk up McRae Ave. \nWhat can I bring into the event?\n \nWe welcome you to bring your children. Give us a heads up and we will organize a fun activity for your kids. \nTea and Coffee\, will be available for purchase from the venue. Bringing your own non-alcoholic drinks is also welcome. \nFood will be available for purchase (come early)\, and you are also welcome to bring your own. \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nVancityStemminists@gmail.com

SUMMARY:The Beat Must Go On: Can Personalized Medicine Intervene in Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
DESCRIPTION:Data is changing how we view and approach healthcare by enabling better patient care through precision health and healthcare analytics. This fall\, Simon Fraser University explores the opportunities and risks of big data approaches in the healthcare industry and its impact on health care providers and users’ privacy. \nNumerous inherited cardiac arrhythmias\, when triggered\, can result in chaotic electrical activity in the heart causing ventricular fibrillation (VF). Without intervention such as defibrillation with an Automated External Defibrillator\, the body can only survive a few minutes of VF before death ensues. The development of new technologies in the last decade give hope that these conditions can be detected early and perhaps prevented. The transformative technology of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in which one can take adult cells from an individual (e.g. blood\, skin) and reprogram them into pluripotent (ability to be converted to any cell in the body) stem cells won Shinya Yamanaka the Nobel Prize in 2012. This advancement coupled with genome editing techniques (e.g. CRISPR) are enabling incredible advances in personalized medicine that will be discussed in detail in this talk. \nSpeaker:\nGlen Tibbits: professor of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University.\nCanada Research Chair in Molecular Cardiac Physiology. Investigator\, BC Children’s Hospital \nModerator: Fred Popowich\, scientific director\, SFU’s Big Data Initiative \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: \nGlen Tibbits competed his bachelor’s degree at McGill University. With a strong interest in biological research and an incurable curiosity about the world\, he pursued graduate studies at UCLA. During these studies\, he developed a profound curiosity about the electrical and contractile properties of the heart and completed his MSc and PhD at the Brain Research Institute at UCLA. Being awarded an American Heart Association Post-Doctoral Fellowship (PDF)\, he studied cardiac pharmacology in Niigata\, Japan in year one and cardiac biophysics at the UCLA School of Medicine in year two. He subsequently was appointed an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Cardiology at UCLA and then Assistant Professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. When a Faculty position opened at Simon Fraser University\, he chose to return to Canada after an absence of 15 years. At SFU he was appointed as full Professor in 1992 and a Canada Research Chair in Molecular Cardiac Physiology from 2004-2018 which allowed him to build a research program incorporating the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in understanding inherited cardiac arrhythmias. \nABOUT THE MODERATOR: \nFred Popowich is the scientific director of SFU’s Big Data Initiative\, which is a university-wide initiative that empowers people to unlock data for research\, education and community impact. His work connects industry and communities with SFU partners and experts to address challenges and opportunities around data. He was the 2017 recipient of the Distinguished Service Award from the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Association (CAIAC)\, recognizing his outstanding service to the artificial intelligence (AI) community in Canada. He regularly talks about the role of AI in society\, most recently in a Business in Vancouver Op-Ed entitled\, “The importance of the ‘human factor’ in relation to smart-city data”.

Xavier Castellanos\, MD\nNeidich Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\,\nRadiology\, Neuroscience and Physiology\nThe Child Study Center/Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\,\nHassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone\, New York \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the challenges of understanding the complexity of the human brain with current methods\nExamine implications of recent developments in open science\nList the contexts/paradigms in which “small science” approaches remain relevant and essential\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nThe seminar is scheduled for Thursday\, October 3\, 2019\, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Chan Centre for Family Health Education\, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (Map). Lunch will follow in the Chieng Family Atrium. \nParticipate\nDiscovery Talks is accredited as a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. CME credits are available for all participants. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Xavier Castellanos studied Chomskian linguistics at Vassar College\, experimental psychology at the University of New Orleans\, and medicine at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. He was in the first cohort of “triple board” residents (combined training in pediatrics\, psychiatry\, and child and adolescent psychiatry) at the University of Kentucky\, after which he spent a decade learning from Judy Rapoport at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health. In 2001\, he moved to New York University\, where he is an endowed professor of child and adolescent psychiatry\, and professor of radiology and neuroscience. His work has focused on using brain imaging to begin to understand the neurobiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Castellanos was an early advocate of examining low-frequency fluctuations in brain function and in behavior – both of which have become mainstream lines of investigation. Accordingly\, he has been consistently identified among the top 1% of cited scientists in psychiatric neuroscience. He has served on many national and international review committees and was Vice-Chair of the American Psychiatric Association DSM-5 Workgroup on ADHD. His proudest achievements are his extensive network of collaborators and former mentees who are now leaders in the field.

Xavier Castellanos\, MD\nNeidich Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\,\nRadiology\, Neuroscience and Physiology\nThe Child Study Center/Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\,\nHassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone\, New York \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss the challenges of understanding the complexity of the human brain with current methods\nExamine implications of recent developments in open science\nList the contexts/paradigms in which “small science” approaches remain relevant and essential\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nThe seminar is scheduled for Thursday\, October 3\, 2019\, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Chan Centre for Family Health Education\, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (Map). Lunch will follow in the Chieng Family Atrium. \nParticipate\nDiscovery Talks is accredited as a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. CME credits are available for all participants. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Xavier Castellanos studied Chomskian linguistics at Vassar College\, experimental psychology at the University of New Orleans\, and medicine at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. He was in the first cohort of “triple board” residents (combined training in pediatrics\, psychiatry\, and child and adolescent psychiatry) at the University of Kentucky\, after which he spent a decade learning from Judy Rapoport at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health. In 2001\, he moved to New York University\, where he is an endowed professor of child and adolescent psychiatry\, and professor of radiology and neuroscience. His work has focused on using brain imaging to begin to understand the neurobiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Castellanos was an early advocate of examining low-frequency fluctuations in brain function and in behavior – both of which have become mainstream lines of investigation. Accordingly\, he has been consistently identified among the top 1% of cited scientists in psychiatric neuroscience. He has served on many national and international review committees and was Vice-Chair of the American Psychiatric Association DSM-5 Workgroup on ADHD. His proudest achievements are his extensive network of collaborators and former mentees who are now leaders in the field.

SUMMARY:2019 BC Regenerative Medicine 24-Hour Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:BCRegMed and the Centre for Biomedical Research at the University of Victoria are proud to host the 2nd annual health and regenerative medicine themed Hackathon! After a very successful first Hackathon at UVic last year\, we are making this year even bigger! With a cross-campus Hackathon happening between UVic and UBC! \nHackathons are focused events which bring together interdisciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions to front-line healthcare problems. We are currently looking for challenges to be solved by our hackers at this exciting event. The challenges will be drawn from health-related needs in the local community and health care facilities and local teams of hackers will develop innovative solutions to these challenges. \nWhat is a Hackathon? : \nA ‘traditional’ hackathon is an event where programmers get together for a short period of time to collaborate on a project. Typically\, participants have 24-48 hours to consecutively work on the challenge with the goal of delivering a completed product/project at the end of that time period. \nWhat makes a Health Hackathon unique? : \nThere are several properties of a Health Hackathon that differentiate it from a more traditional hackathon: \n\nThe health industry is largely multidisciplinary so it stands to reason that competing teams should be as well. Participants come from a variety of backgrounds including engineering\, science\, business\, nursing and medicine.\nAs health related projects are often large in scope with many complex components\, the Health Hackathon lets teams work on their challenges for 3 weeks leading up to the 24 hour hacking session.\nAt the end of the Hackathon\, the goal is to have tangible solution that could potentially be implemented in industry. One way to promote this is to have a team of mentors to answer questions and provide insights to the competing teams.\n\nEvent Format: Hackers\, mentors\, and judges will be recruited over the summer to participate in our event.\nSeptember 6th is the kick-off at the University of Victoria\, ECS660\, from 6pm to 8pm.\nSeptember 12th we’ll be kicking things off at UBC at the Biomedical Research Centre\, Room 351.\nDuring the Kickoff\,  we will present the challenges to the hackers and facilitate team formation. The teams will have until the hacking weekend to think about their approach to challenges. During this period\, we will have a team of mentors who will answer questions about the challenges during that time. The Hackathon itself will take place October 4th-6th (Fort Tectoria\, UVIC ; Life Sciences Institute\, UBC) with the solutions being judged on Sunday\, and an awards ceremony to follow. \nCall for Challenges: We are seeking a diverse array of health related challenges that can be addressed by groups of hackers in a one month time period as part of our Hackathon! These challenges can addressed through a variety of engineering disciplines\, including biomedical\, electrical\, mechanical\, and software engineering. See below for the event time line. Preference will be given to projects with strong in-kind support through either mentorship or donation of supplies or resources. The challenges should be no longer than 750 words in length. \nLast year’s challenges \nChallenge #1 Novel sieving device for separating microspheres\nChallenge #2 Non-agitating device for patients living with dementia\nChallenge #3 Developing terminal devices for prostheses\nChallenge #4 Forensic Nurse Examination Program (Paging system)\nChallenge #5 Real-time Fall Prediction & Prevention in Hospitalized Patients \nDeadline for challenge submission: July 31st\, 2019.
