Join us for a virtual thirty-minute Ask-A-Scientist session to celebrate Science Literacy Week! For our first of three sessions, Dr. Alana Pindar will discuss her research on bees and their role in our ecosystems and she will take audience questions as well, so make sure to come prepared!
Alana is a bee scientist at the University of Guelph where she has been investigating the impacts of global change on wild bees: specifically, how stressors interact and which play the most significant roles in affecting wild bee populations. Throughout her career, she has developed a passion for pioneering the importance of conserving and maintaining biodiversity of pollinators in changing landscapes. She recently led a comprehensive review to identify, prioritize and assess evidence to produce a report on the Status and Trends for Pollinator Health in Ontario for the Ontario Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).
This event is open to youth aged 11-18, parents, and teachers!
To RSVP please contact Sally Marchand at WISEatlantic@MSVU.ca. The link to join the Zoom session will be emailed the day before the event to the email address provided.

For day three of our celebration of Science Literacy Week, join Sandra Klemet-N’Guessan for a virtual twenty-minute presentation and Q&A on Aquatic Ecology!
Sandra is an aquatic ecologist at Trent University where she studies the nutrient content of animals’ urine in clear vs. brown streams and lakes. From terrestrial insects to aquatic animals, Sandra is fascinated by the interactions among species and between species and their environment at the land-water interface; an ecosystem approach that allows her to look at these interactions at a large-scale.
This event is open to youth aged 11-18, parents, and teachers!

We are bringing back our fan favourite Role Model sessions, except we’re going virtual! We are happy to announce that we will begin hosting Career Corner, monthly virtual role model sessions, that will take place the first Wednesday of every month starting Oct 7!
Each session will be a half-hour long, starting at 6:30 pm (Atlantic) and will feature two different female STEM role models who will discuss their careers. Be sure to mark your calendars!
RSVP will be required to participate, you can RSVP for individual sessions OR for the full year. To RSVP email Sally at WISEatlantic@msvu.ca with your name, active email, and age.
If you are a female currently working in a STEM profession and would like to be a role model for one of our Career Corner sessions, please let us know by emailing Sally at WISEatlantic@msvu.ca.
