CanadaView All EventsAbstract: Four early-career UBC researchers were given two years to focus on a challenge that could advance their vastly different fields of study. Hear what they discovered and sample the incredible breadth of research and scholarly activity across our two campuses.
The questions they tackled may be ones you have pondered already—or things you never thought to ask. Their insights are equally fascinating and revealing.
Learn how tiny particles of dirt can change what lions eat; how new technologies are shaping the response to virus outbreaks; the unexpected connections that shaped the history of sexuality; and how the hidden structures of shapes and knots can help us solve the most vexing problems.
Presenters:
Prof. Adam Ford (Biology, UBC Okanagan)
Coexistence, Connectivity, and Conservation in a Human-Dominated World
Prof. Kyle Frackman (Central, Eastern, and Northern European Studies, UBC Vancouver)
Silkworms and Sparks: Wiring Early Queer Networks
Prof. Liam Watson (Mathematics, UBC Vancouver)
Hidden Structures: from topology to algebra, and back again
Prof. Vikramaditya Yadav (Chemical and Biological Engineering, UBC Vancouver)
Biomanufacturing 4.0: Reimagining the Future of Vaccine Production
