SUMMARY:Science Rendezvous with SFU Science
DESCRIPTION:This is your chance to connect with our university scientists and researchers\, experience the magic of their scientific discoveries\, and CREATE your own breakthrough inventions that you can call your own! \nScience Rendezvous and International Astronomy Day celebrates science through a combination of science demonstrations and activities that revolve around food\, climate\, reconciliation and home.  A few examples of topics and discussions would include: \n\nchemical reactions in the kitchen and how food ingredients can create all sorts of mixtures\, solutions and chemical changes\nearth science presentations on natural disasters and their effects on climate changes and the environment\nIndigenous culture presented in general astronomy through Indigenous names of stars and constellations and the ancestral stories behind these stars\n\n\nFoodwebs and foodchains in local habitats such as kelp forests and other nearby environments that communities can help protect and sustain\n\nCome to SFU Burnaby and CREATE with us!

SUMMARY:StemCellTalks Vancouver- Stem Cell Engineering: A Promising Tool for Regenerative Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Stem cells are widely studied due to their promise to revolutionize medicine and better the lives of patients suffering from complex diseases. StemCellTalks is a one-day conference for high school students. This event will provide students with the opportunity to interact with and learn from leading experts in the field of stem cells. \nStudents will be introduced to the fundamentals of stem cell biology and understand how we engineer these cells to treat humans. Students will also appreciate the complexities of the field and how incorporating ethical\, legal\, and social implications can strengthen stem cell science and its application. A panel discussion will also expose students to different career opportunities at the forefront of stem cell research. \nThroughout the day\, immersive and interactive activities will enable students to apply their newly acquired knowledge\, think critically\, and participate in experiential learning.

SUMMARY:Next-Generation RNA Vaccines & Therapies
DESCRIPTION:RNA vaccines have enabled a rapid and effective response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. However\, there are still major challenges in the field\, including enhancing the duration of immunity and minimizing the side effects associated with these vaccines. We will address strategies to overcome these challenges\, and explore future applications of RNA medicines.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Anna Blakney is an Assistant Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories and School of Biomedical Engineering at UBC. She received her Bachelor of Science in Chemical & Biological Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder\, and her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Imperial College London on the development of molecular and biomaterial engineering strategies for delivery of self-amplifying RNA. Her lab uses bioengineering\, molecular biology and immunology approaches to develop the next generation of RNA vaccines and therapies. She is also a passionate science communicator and runs a TikTok channel dedicated to educating the public about RNA biotechnology\, which now has >250\,000 followers and >18M views.
