Thursday, September 26: 10:30 am - 11:30 am Canadian Light Source, 44 Innovation Blvd, Saskatoon, SK If you haven't toured the Canadian Light Source, it's a must see – and it's open for group or public tours!
The CLS is the only synchrotron in Canada and one of the largest scientific infrastructure investments in our country’s history - and it's right here in Saskatoon! What is a synchrotron? "A synchrotron light source produces extremely bright light by using powerful magnets and radio frequency waves to accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light. This infra-red, ultraviolet and X-ray light is shone down beamlines to experimental stations where scientists can select different parts of the spectrum to "see" the microscopic nature of matter, right down to the level of the atom."

An Apple a Day...

Wednesday, September 25
11:00 am to 12:oo pm Webinar Innovations in science are offering opportunities to eat healthier and reduce food waste. Did you know that about 40% of the annual harvest of apples finds its way into wastebaskets? Artic apples are non-browning. Through bioengineering, the apples’ own genes have ‘turned off’ the enzyme that makes apples brown when cut and allows them to stay orchard-fresh for up to 28 days.
Find out how Arctic apples are grown, how they are helping to reduce food waste and providing healthy options in foodservice applications. And pick up some great ideas for how to use apples creatively! REGISTER Event host: Canadian Food Focus |
