SUMMARY:Science of Cocktails
DESCRIPTION:With more than 30 cocktail stations\, each offering uniquely tested and tasted beverages\, guests will experience the minutiae of cocktails\, designed and served by award-winning bartenders. The drinks served will be accompanied with savoury bites created by local notable restaurants and chefs\, and complemented by engaging demonstrations\, alluring science activities\, and specialized Science World programming. \nAll proceeds from the Science of Cocktails event support the Class Field Trip Bursary Program\, allowing over 9\,000 kids from underserved schools in British Columbia to visit Science World at TELUS World of Science. The Field Trip Bursary program makes it possible for students to visit Science World in the next school year who otherwise might not have been able to visit. Since its inception in 2016\, over 23\,000 students have participated in the program. \nEntering its fifth year\, Science of Cocktails has raised a total of $943\,000 for this program and aims to add another $280\,000 to that number with this year’s event\, which would see the program surpass over $1million raised.

SUMMARY:SFU Omics Research Day
DESCRIPTION:The Omics Data Science Initiative responds to the growing needs for computational methods for the study of life sciences\, in particular in the areas of public health microbiology and precision medicine.\n\nKeynote Speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. William S. Noble (Website)\n\nDepartment of Genome Sciences; Department of Computer Science and Engineering.\nUniversity of Washington\, Seattle\, United States\n\n\n“Learning embeddings of bulk and single-cell genomic data for imputation and multi-omic integration.”\n\n\nMany machine learning methods work by translating data points from the space in which they reside to a new\, latent space of either higher or lower dimension. In this talk\, I will describe two settings in which a latent representation can help us make sense of complex genomic data. In one case\, we train a deep tensor factorization model to learn latent representations of genomic assay types\, cell types and genomic positions. These learned embeddings then turn out to be useful not only for imputing new genomics experiments\, but also for a variety of other downstream machine learning tasks. In the second setting\, I describe how an unsupervised embedding approach can map diverse types of single-cell measurements into a latent space\, effectively providing an in silico co-assay for experiments performed on similar sets of cells but using different experimental techniques.\n\n\nFeatured SFU Faculty:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Tania Bubela  (Website)\n\n\nDean of the Faculty of Health Sciences\,\nSimon Fraser University\n\n \n\n“Enabling Precision Oncology in Canadian Health Systems”\nIn Canada\, patient access to precision oncology is variable and limited to a few centres. Precision oncology uses ‘omics (e.g.\, genomic\, transcriptomic) data to select the appropriate therapy independent of cancer type. Patient access to precision oncology will depend on the design and implementation of precision systems that integrate ‘omics data with other health information to support real-time clinical decision-making\, evidence generation\, and intervention evaluation. This can be considered an application of a Learning Healthcare System. This talk will outline reforms that need to take place in our health systems\, regulatory\, and reimbursement platforms\, policies\, and practices to enable decision-making based on new forms of ‘omics evidence and patient access.\n\n\n\n\nCareer Panel & Reception:\n\nThe reception is going to be a great opportunity for you to learn about the different types of careers that can be pursued in omics! A short career-panel session will kick-off the reception. This will be followed by a more open networking session where you can meet and talk to many interesting people with careers across many different areas. Check back here for more information. \n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00am                                  Registration Opens \n                                                             Big Data Hub Atrium      \n                                                             Refreshments provided. \n11:00 – 12:00pm                                  Opening Remarks & Keynote Presentation \n                                                          Presentation Studio (ASB10900) \n                                                             Dr. William Noble from University of Washington \n12:00 – 1:00pm                                    Poster Session & Lunch Break  \n                                                             Big Data Hub Atrium                             \n                                                             Food provided. \n1:00 – 1:30pm                                      Featured Faculty Talk \n                                                          Presentation Studio (ASB10900) \n                                                             Dr. Tania Bubela\, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences \n1:30 – 2:30pm                                      Student Talks Session One \n                                                          Presentation Studio (ASB10900) \n2:30 – 2:45pm                                   Coffee Break \n                                                             Big Data Hub Atrium      \n                                                             Refreshments provided. \n2:45 – 3:30pm                                      Student Talks Session Two \n                                                          Presentation Studio (ASB10900)                                                           \n3:30 – 4:15pm                                      Career Panel Discussion \n                                                             Presentation Studio (ASB10900) \n                                                             Panel discussion with professionals from academia\, government\, and industry.  \n4:15 – 5:00pm                                      Reception \n                                                             Atrium/Flexible Meeting Room \n                                                             Networking session combined with reception.

SUMMARY:Informed Opinions: Writing Compelling Commentary to Extend Your Influence
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT SCWIST AND THE SCALE PROJECT:\nFounded in 1981\, the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) has a proud history of empowering women and girls in STEM (science\, technology\, engineering and math).

This Informed Opinions workshop is offered to SCWIST members\, community partners and gender equality advocates as part of the new SCALE project funded by the Government of Canada’s Department of Women and Gender Equality (WAGE). The SCALE project – SCWIST Connects\, Advocates and Leverages Expertise – will expand STEM diversity for economic empowerment across Canada. SCALE will increase SCWIST’s impact by improving organizational effectiveness\, financial sustainability\, partnership reach and advocacy. STEM is the powerhouse of the economy and our future – and through the SCALE project\, SCWIST will create pathways for highly trained STEM women to contribute their knowledge and skills. \n“Informed Opinions gives you the recipe to write clear\, direct and compelling pieces on issues that matter and deserve a wide audience.

SUMMARY:Informed Opinions: Writing Compelling Commentary to Extend Your Influence
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT SCWIST AND THE SCALE PROJECT:\nFounded in 1981\, the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) has a proud history of empowering women and girls in STEM (science\, technology\, engineering and math). SCWIST (www.scwist.ca) envisions an environment where girls and women pursue their interests\, education\, and careers in STEM without barriers. This Informed Opinions workshop is offered to SCWIST members\, community partners and gender equality advocates as part of the new SCALE project funded by the Government of Canada’s Department of Women and Gender Equality (WAGE). The SCALE project – SCWIST Connects\, Advocates and Leverages Expertise – will expand STEM diversity for economic empowerment across Canada. SCALE will increase SCWIST’s impact by improving organizational effectiveness\, financial sustainability\, partnership reach and advocacy. STEM is the powerhouse of the economy and our future – and through the SCALE project\, SCWIST will create pathways for highly trained STEM women to contribute their knowledge and skills. \n“Informed Opinions gives you the recipe to write clear\, direct and compelling pieces on issues that matter and deserve a wide audience. My published op ed generated an enormous response.”\n– Workshop Participant \n \nINFORMED OPINIONS WORKSHOP: WRITING COMPELLING COMMENTARY TO EXTEND YOUR INFLUENCE\nThis highly interactive workshop for STEM professionals and gender equality advocates builds leadership capacity\, enhances credibility and extends influence. It provides participants with the confidence and tools to contribute their expertise and vision to the public discourse through compelling\, short-form written commentary – for newspaper op ed pages\, blogs\, newsletters and online sites. This engaging 3 hour session will equip you to: \n\nOwn and articulate your authority as an expert\nRecognize and address the systemic undervaluing of women’s expertise by both society and women themselves\nUnderstand the difference between speaking for yourself versus speaking on behalf of an organization\nUnderstand the essential elements and format of effective commentaries\nLearn how to build a concise\, persuasive and accessible argument to engage your target audience\nIncrease and extend your influence by linking your expertise with current issues to enhance the relevance and timeliness of your knowledge\nSubmit your work to online\, media and print editors\n\nWriting Compelling Commentary is an interactive workshop that walks participants through applying a series of steps and tools to a specific topic that they would like to engage a broader audience. You’ll be expected to arrive at the session with: \n\nA topic relevant to your context or organization (e.g. a current issue in STEM\, a way to advance gender equality\, how to overcome a barrier to success\, a policy you want to advocate for\, a global issue that needs attention)\nAn understanding of what you want people to think or believe after reading your op ed or blog article\nA one-sentence “thesis statement” about your topic (e.g. “Advancing more women in STEM has a measurable impact on research innovation”; “Diversity policies need to create an inclusive workplace culture where everyone can thrive”; “Taking action on climate change requires more than small\, incremental steps”)\n\nDuring the workshop\, you will have the opportunity to write sections of your compelling commentary\, so if you prefer to compose material on a keyboard\, please bring your laptop (well-charged due to limited power outlets in the room). \nSPEAKER\nShari Graydon \nAbout Shari\nShari has spent more than 25 years shamelessly exploiting media to draw attention to issues she knows and cares about.
