SUMMARY:D.R.I.N.K.S.
DESCRIPTION:The D.R.I.N.K.S. (Discussions Relevant to Inspiring New Knowledge and Science) social is held monthly at Mahoneys on Stamps Landing (Old Monk McQueens on False Creek at 601 Stamps Landing). The purpose is to bring together faculty\, clinicians\, scientists\, residents\, trainees\, staff\, entrepreneurs\, bio/pharm staff/execs/veterans\, lawyers\, VCs\, and others with common interests in biomedical/translational research & discovery/commercialization once a month to casually interact and meet new people over a beverage of their choice and/or appetizer. It’s also becoming a great way for people that have just moved to\, or even just visiting Vancouver to meet others in research/biomedical field/industry.

SUMMARY:Math Is Not Fun: A Confession of a Math Teacher
DESCRIPTION:Is the claim that “math is everywhere” a truth or a myth? Why does every child in the world who is lucky enough to go to school have to study mathematics at some point? What are the “weapons of math destruction”? Do humans have “biologically endowed abilities for perceiving and discriminating quantities”? Can doing mathematics lead to feelings of pride\, happiness\, and joy? In this presentation\, these and other questions related to the role of mathematics in our lives will be discussed in a lighthearted manner. \nVeselin Jungic is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics at SFU. He is a recipient of several teaching awards\, including the Canadian Mathematical Society Teaching Award and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences Educational Award. Most of his research is in Ramsey theory and the field of mathematics education. He developed the Math Catcher Outreach Program which aims to promote mathematics and scholarship by encouraging elementary and high school students to recognize how math is used in everyday life and how it forms the basis for many of our daily decisions and lifelong choices.

SUMMARY:Math Is Not Fun: A Confession of a Math Teacher
DESCRIPTION:Is the claim that “math is everywhere” a truth or a myth? Why does every child in the world who is lucky enough to go to school have to study mathematics at some point? What are the “weapons of math destruction”? Do humans have “biologically endowed abilities for perceiving and discriminating quantities”? Can doing mathematics lead to feelings of pride\, happiness\, and joy? In this presentation\, these and other questions related to the role of mathematics in our lives will be discussed in a lighthearted manner. \nVeselin Jungic is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics at SFU. He is a recipient of several teaching awards\, including the Canadian Mathematical Society Teaching Award and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences Educational Award. Most of his research is in Ramsey theory and the field of mathematics education. He developed the Math Catcher Outreach Program which aims to promote mathematics and scholarship by encouraging elementary and high school students to recognize how math is used in everyday life and how it forms the basis for many of our daily decisions and lifelong choices.

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.

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

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).
