SUMMARY:Nerd Nite North Van: Stem Cells & BioPrinting\, Video Game Truths & Sustainability in Filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:Like TED Talks\, but with beer! Three 15-minute talks on subjects across STEM\, in simple language and with some humour. Q&A after each talk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nEach night 3 passionate Nerds (aka “Science Communicators”) give talks on complex subjects across “STEM” (Science\, Technology\, Engineering & Math)\, like Astronomy\, Quantum Physics\, Neuroscience and even how to genetically engineer a Unicorn. They do it in language anyone can understand and with as much humour as possible. The beer also helps! This is a 19+ event. \n\n\n\nWE’RE LIKE TED TALKS BUT WITH BEER\, so this is a 19+ event. If you’re under 19 years of age\, click here for our TEEN shows.\nAt our January 2020 show we’ll discuss where the biotech community is at with stem cells & 3D printing human tissue; how independent filmmakers are effecting real change in the world through their work & empowering marginalized communities; and answer your burning questions about what programmers actually do all day while they’re making the video games we love. \nWe’ll have interactive question & answer periods after each talk\, so come prepared with your questions and meet other nerds & the speakers during the breaks. \nJanuary Talks:\n“Illuminating the Mysterious\, Yet Controversial Realm of Stem Cells & BioPrinting” – Dr. Alison Muller\nStem cell technology has both fascinated and concerned society. The potential to use stem cells to build new organs using 3D bioprinting technology to replace diseased or damage ones may one day be a medical possibility; however\, we aren’t quite there yet. The media has done an excellent job misinforming the public about what stem cells really are\, where they genuinely come from\, and what they can actually do. However\, you need not fear! Dr. Alison Muller’s talk will clarify many questions and concerns surrounding stem cells while discussing the realistic\, yet still very cool\, bioprinting being done using stem cell technology. \nBio: Alison Muller is a Ph.D graduate from the University of Alberta who has recently moved back home to Vancouver where she’s pursuing a career in Vancouver’s exciting biotech sector. She loves presenting cutting edge medical research and has presented panels at for the past few years at Comic Expos discussing science fiction inspired technology. She has been a guest on CBC Radio morning shows in Edmonton and Calgary\, as well as appearing on Global Edmonton participating in a liquid nitrogen explosion! She recently founded aliscience.ca\, a science communication blog that publishes different topics focused around medical science discoveries as well as the tools used in the research field. She’s looking forward to starting her biotech career here. Alison LOVES “Magic: The Gathering” and cosplaying both original and recognizable characters in her spare time. \n“All Work & No Play? The What\, Why & How of Making Video Games” – Ed Douglas\n“How are video games made? Who makes them? Do you just eat pizza and play games all day? Ed Douglas breaks down the myths and reality of video game development and answers top questions about one of the world’s favourite pastimes. \nBio: Ed Douglas is a videogame developer and filmmaker from Vancouver\, BC\, with passion for sci-fi and an obsession with astrophysics. He’s worked on some great game series like Mass Effect and Need for Speed\, and some terrible movies like “Lightning: Bolts of Destruction” (where killer lightning chases our heroes while scientists come to the rescue)\, and “Belly of the Beast” (where Steven Seagal chases his career straight into the direct-to-DVD bin). After ambling around the world telling stories with companies like EA and Ubisoft\, he’s back in BC refocusing back on film & TV.” \n“Sustainability in Filmmaking” – Farhan Umedaly\nFarhan Umedaly is an award-winning filmmaker best known for his films about social causes. His talk will show how independent filmmakers can effect real change in the world through their work and empower marginalized communities. \nBio: Farhan has a background in neurobiology and consulted for renewable energy developments before establishing his own production company in 2009. His original focus was to produce videos that enable clean-tech and renewable energy companies. Since then\, VoVo Productions has produced more than 200 projects for leading companies and non-profits such as the David Suzuki Foundation\, to help create positive change. \nFarhan works alongside groups such as ISS of BC\, Vancouver Foundation and Access to Media & Education Society\, to provide mentorship in filmmaking to marginalized communities such as Syrian refugees and indigenous communities. He is best known for his indigenous focused documentaries ‘A Last Stand for Lelu’ and‘The Sun on Top of the House’. \nIn 2017 Farhan founded the Empowered Filmmaker Masterclass which has trained more than 200 indigenous participants to be self-sufficient filmmakers. He is also an instructor at Simon Fraser University within the Beedie School of Business and a guest lecturer on the topic of Human Rights – International Studies program. \nTransit: We’re just 3 blocks from the Seabus at Lonsdale Quay (straight up Chesterfield)\, so don’t learn and drive.\nMUST BE 19 YEARS+

SUMMARY:Nerd Nite North Van: Stem Cells & BioPrinting\, Video Game Truths & Sustainability in Filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:Like TED Talks\, but with beer! Three 15-minute talks on subjects across STEM\, in simple language and with some humour. Q&A after each talk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nEach night 3 passionate Nerds (aka “Science Communicators”) give talks on complex subjects across “STEM” (Science\, Technology\, Engineering & Math)\, like Astronomy\, Quantum Physics\, Neuroscience and even how to genetically engineer a Unicorn. They do it in language anyone can understand and with as much humour as possible. The beer also helps! This is a 19+ event. \n\n\n\nWE’RE LIKE TED TALKS BUT WITH BEER\, so this is a 19+ event. If you’re under 19 years of age\, click here for our TEEN shows.\nAt our January 2020 show we’ll discuss where the biotech community is at with stem cells & 3D printing human tissue; how independent filmmakers are effecting real change in the world through their work & empowering marginalized communities; and answer your burning questions about what programmers actually do all day while they’re making the video games we love. \nWe’ll have interactive question & answer periods after each talk\, so come prepared with your questions and meet other nerds & the speakers during the breaks. \nJanuary Talks:\n“Illuminating the Mysterious\, Yet Controversial Realm of Stem Cells & BioPrinting” – Dr. Alison Muller\nStem cell technology has both fascinated and concerned society. The potential to use stem cells to build new organs using 3D bioprinting technology to replace diseased or damage ones may one day be a medical possibility; however\, we aren’t quite there yet. The media has done an excellent job misinforming the public about what stem cells really are\, where they genuinely come from\, and what they can actually do. However\, you need not fear! Dr. Alison Muller’s talk will clarify many questions and concerns surrounding stem cells while discussing the realistic\, yet still very cool\, bioprinting being done using stem cell technology. \nBio: Alison Muller is a Ph.D graduate from the University of Alberta who has recently moved back home to Vancouver where she’s pursuing a career in Vancouver’s exciting biotech sector.

SUMMARY:Vancouver STEMminist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:In our fifth meeting of the Vancouver STEMminist book club we will be reading “Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” by Ann Innis Dagg. Join us at Hycroft Manor to discuss the origins of the first\, and least well know Canadian girraffe scientist – Ann Innis Dagg. This memoir explores Ann’s trailblazing travels to Africa to observe and study giraffe in the wild. She beat Jane Goodall to Africa by 4 years! This is a must read for anyone – especially to learn about this amazing and accomplished Canadian scientist!! \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“Pursuing Giraffe: A 1950s Adventure” 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 (Available on Crave if you have a subscription). \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

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.
