SUMMARY:Science Slam: Slam to the Future
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 while learning something new in our future themed event.\n\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!\n\nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm.\nLimited early bird tickets are available!\n\nInterested in presenting/Slamming?

SUMMARY:Cities of Futures Past: Examining the Social-Ecological Legacies Affecting Urban Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health
DESCRIPTION:To create a more just future for our ecosystems and societies\, we have to look to our past. Past changes in our ecosystems impact present day ecosystem function\, health and structure\, just as historical social decisions (like policies) have longstanding legacies. Cities\, in particular\, provide a unique opportunity to explore the intersection where humans and their constructed ecosystems co-exist. \nIt is in these environments that we can interrogate how our past shapes our social-ecological present. Hence\, if we hope to build resilient cities for our future\, it is imperative that we deconstruct how past societal processes have shaped our ecological present. \nIn his talk\, Dr. Chris Schell will explore how one of those social legacies enshrining residential segregation and disinvestment in Black neighborhoods (i.e.\, redlining) continues to influence social and environmental features of cities today. \nDr. Schell will also demonstrate how modern inequities in environmental health and socioeconomics have tangible impacts from human behaviour to biodiversity. \nRSVP today! \n\n\nABOUT CHRIS SCHELL\n\n\n\n\nDr. Christopher J. Schell is an urban ecologist\, professor\, Afrofuturist\, father\, and writer. \nResearch in the Schell Lab combines animal behavior\, physiology\, urban biodiversity conservation\, environmental justice\, and One Health to investigate how carnivores – namely coyotes\, foxes\, and raccoons – adapt to life in cities. \nIn addition\, Schell’s lab integrates critical discourses on how structural oppression (e.g.\, redlining\, pollution burden\, and socioeconomic disparities) directly shape the very urban features associated with human-wildlife interactions\, conflict\, and adaptation. \nThis transdisciplinary work aims to disentangle how environmental injustices have structured our urban ecosystems and how we can harness those lessons to build more just\, biodiverse\, and resilient cities. \nSchell is a National Geographic Explorer\, Grist Fixer\, Cal Academy Fellow and Board Member\, and Affiliate Faculty with the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology\, with his work featured in The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, Vox Explained\, and various NPR radio events. \nA born-and-raised Los Angeleno now firmly planted in the Bay Area\, Schell weaves his lived experiences as a Black man and Californian to co-produce justice- and equity-centered research programs with local communities that regenerate urban nature\, environmental health\, and access for all peoples. \nX (Twitter): @UrbanSchell\nWebsite (available March 1): https://schell-lab.squarespace.com/
