SUMMARY:In Good Company: The Human Trial
DESCRIPTION:In 2011\, filmmakers Lisa Hepner and Guy Mossman heard about a radical stem cell treatment for diabetes\, a disease that kills more than five million people each year. Driven by a desire to cure Lisa of her own type 1 diabetes\, the married couple secured unprecedented\, real-time access to a clinical trial in San Diego —only the sixth-ever embryonic stem cell trial in the world. What follows is an intimate journey with the patients and scientists who put themselves on the line to be first. In the world of biotech and medical research\, there are no tidy solutions. \nIn person screening: Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre Rm 2264 \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:How Full Is the Brain’s Petrol Tank? Evidence from Models of Metabolic Depletion
DESCRIPTION:Topic: How full is the brain’s petrol tank? Evidence from models of metabolic depletion \nSpeaker: Dr. Michael Breakspear\, Professor\, School of Psychological Sciences\, University of Newcastle \nDr. Breakspear leads the Systems Neuroscience Group at the University of Newcastle. His contributions to computational neuroscience include dynamic models of large-scale brain activity\, toolbox development and the detection of nonlinear dynamics in empirical data. His research interests also include translational neuroimaging\, where his work encompasses healthy ageing\, dementia\, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia\, with a focus on connectomics and risk prediction. \n  \nThis seminar will be a hybrid event\, held both in-person and virtually. Please note: In-person capacity is limited. Register now to reserve your spot. \nIn-person location: SFU Burnaby Campus\, Shrum Science Centre\, BPK Seminar Room K9624 \nVirtual: Please register to receive a Zoom link ahead of the workshop \nFor more information\, or to register without using Eventbrite\, please email inn@sfu.ca

SUMMARY:Three Minute Thesis: VCHRI and UBC Heat
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the VCHRI and UBC Faculty of Medicine Heat of Three Minute Thesis (3MT). 3MT is an academic competition for current graduate students who will have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a lay audience. Department heats will be held across campus beginning in February\, with winners moving on to the UBC-wide semi-finals and finals in mid-March. \nThe registration deadline for the VCHRI and UBC Heat is Friday\, February 17 at 4:00 PM (PST). \nRegistrants are encouraged to sign up for a 20-minute Personal Presentation Feedback Session with 3MT organizers Jacqui Brinkman and Conny Scheffler.

SUMMARY:What About Copper and Immuno-Oncology?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bally’s BC Cancer Research team is pursuing a hypothesis that combinations of immunogenic Cell Death (ICD)⁠—inducing drug candidates\, enhanced by complexation with copper⁠—will significantly improve the therapeutic benefits obtained following treatment with immune check point inhibitors (CPIs).\n \nThe use of immune CPIs is viewed as “game changing\,” as many cancer patients with different types of cancer are now exhibiting long-term responses as judged by survival. Sadly\, however\, the benefits are seen in only a small subset of patients.\n \nDr. Bally’s lab is hoping that the long-term survival rate for patients that receive immune CPIs can double through the implementation of strategies that involve combinations with small molecular weight compounds that change the tumour micro-environment to one that is more immune supportive.

SUMMARY:What About Copper and Immuno-Oncology?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bally’s BC Cancer Research team is pursuing a hypothesis that combinations of immunogenic Cell Death (ICD)⁠—inducing drug candidates\, enhanced by complexation with copper⁠—will significantly improve the therapeutic benefits obtained following treatment with immune check point inhibitors (CPIs).\n \nThe use of immune CPIs is viewed as “game changing\,” as many cancer patients with different types of cancer are now exhibiting long-term responses as judged by survival. Sadly\, however\, the benefits are seen in only a small subset of patients.\n \nDr. Bally’s lab is hoping that the long-term survival rate for patients that receive immune CPIs can double through the implementation of strategies that involve combinations with small molecular weight compounds that change the tumour micro-environment to one that is more immune supportive.

SUMMARY:Spring Break Science Slam
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the wonder of Science Slam! 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 — no slides! \nInterested in participating as a Slammer? Please fill out this form by February 18. Thank you! \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. \nEarly bird tickets are only $12 until March 9! General admission is $15. \nSee you there! \nNotes: \nThe venue is wheelchair accessible. The main cabaret room is accessible through a ramped entrance. We also have a wheelchair accessible washroom in the space as well. \nVenue is a 19+ venue with non-gendered bathrooms. \nMasks are not required but they are encouraged. \nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, 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.
