SUMMARY:What’s REALLY in Your Natural Health Products?
DESCRIPTION:Does the general public know what is in their food and health products; how they are manufactured and regulated? Do you need to know? When a product on the market is found to be sub-potent\, substandard or grossly adulterated\, when does it go from “oops\, better recall” to “criminal indictment”? \nLearn about the how Natural Health Products make their way to the store shelves and the quality systems in place to ensure your food and NHP’s are safe. Listen to the research that goes on behind the scenes and all the challenges that come with integrating novel food and Natural Health Products into our modern regulatory system. \nJoin the experts from BCIT’s Natural Health and Food Products Research Group for an active discussion on the ins and outs of the regulatory pathway for Natural Health Products and Food.

SUMMARY:Building a Better World Through Science Communication with Koby Michaels
DESCRIPTION:Science communication is in the spotlight in recent years as science realizes the power of well-communicated science. As science-focused issues like climate change become more central to everyday life\, science communication is an increasingly important field of practice and study.\nBut science communication is still finding its footing in the modern world and has big questions to answer. What is the best way of communicating science? What’s the role of science communication in solving pressing global issues? Can science stories change attitudes and correct misconceptions? \nJoin Koby as he screens recent work. Learn the basic principles of science communication\, explore a case study of science communication done right (and wrong)\, and try your hand at communicating science

SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club Reads "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"
DESCRIPTION:In our fourth meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club we will be reading “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot. Join us at Hycroft Manor to discuss the origins of the first\, and most well known cell line – the HeLa Cells. This book explores both the histroy of cell culture\, medical ethics\, and the the stories of Henrietta’s family. This is a must read for anyone – it’s hard to put down! \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“The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” 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 are also able to contribute to the discussion online on twitter @stemminist / #stemministbc (we don’t always read the same book as the online discussion). \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. \nWe will have a selection of treats! \nHow can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nVancityStemminists@gmail.com

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.
