Students from the Dawson Research in Neuroscience Group will present their work as interns in several Montreal labs.听 The design of their experiments, obstacles they have encountered and interim results will be shared from a number of projects in the area of Neuroscience.
This session will take place on Sept. 29 from 3 PM to 5 PM in room 3H.10. Everybody is welcome!
Light refreshments will be provided.
The 成人黑料 Campus Biodiversity Network species count continues to grow. The total stands at 772 as of Sept. 13. Dawson aims to identify 1,000 species on campus in 1,000 days.
In the past two weeks, 45 new observers joined the iNaturalist Dawson community and 22 species were added to the count.
Two of the newly added species were:
Everyone is welcome to join the project. For more info and how to join, see the launch story:听/news/dawson-community-mobilizing-to-identify-1000-species-in-1000-days/
If you need help getting started or would like to get your class involved:听reach out to Brian Mader (bmader@dawsoncollege.qc.ca), and inquire about borrowing the mobile biodiversity toolkit with field guides, binoculars, iPads with microscopes, insect nets, and much more!
The Medical Ultrasound Department celebrated the end of last semester with a BBQ for first and second-year students in May. At the event, they presented a bursary to second-year student Elizabeth Neveau.
The bursary was granted by the Ordre des technologues en imagerie m茅dicale, en radio-oncologie et en 茅lectrophysiologie (OTIMROEPMQ), their professional order.
The order established this bursary in 2023, and they offered one to each CEGEP in Quebec with a Medical Ultrasound program.
Dawson鈥檚 faculty recognized one student who they felt showed exemplary hard work, dedication and improvement over the course of their studies at the College as well as their excellence in Medical Ultrasound.

There is a full program of speakers, including a former student of organizer Daniel Goldsmith, Andreas Nicolaidis-Gagnon. His talk is entitled "Humanities at Dawson Helped Me See What鈥檚 Important."
Daniel said Andreas "is currently doing a degree in social work at McGill, and he was deeply impacted by all of his humanities courses. I think for students wondering "what's the point of doing humanities," he will give some excellent answers!"听

The constant news of crises, from Covid to climate change to wars to the rise of extremist ideology, has left many people disoriented and wondering how to navigate these uncertain times.听 Questions central to the humanities like: what does it mean to lead a fully human life? What should we value, and why? To whom can I look for guidance? are more important than ever.听
From Sept. 18-21, 2023, we will explore them during the Humanities and Public Life Conference. The conference will help us to connect the dots, zoom out to see the big picture, and provide a bridge between great ideas and real-world situations.
