Basic research at Canadian universities is undertaken using a complex mixture of government and non-government funding, class time, volunteer hours, and dedication on the part of researchers. How does this translate into a benefit for Canada? How does implementing this research into innovative ideas and industry happen?
Join Sean Barry, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, as he embarks on a case study of university innovation to highlight the interesting and sometimes unusual road that science discovery can follow.
Where: Wild Oat Café at 817 Bank Street.
When: Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The free 20-minute discussion will be followed by a question and answer session. The Science Café series takes place every second Wednesday until Dec. 5, 2012.
The Science Café series is organized by the Faculty of Science at Carleton University to discuss relevant issues facing our society and how science can help solve real-world problems. Meet some of our award-winning faculty members and graduate students as they share their excitement about science with the community. For more information, visit http://sciencecafe.carleton.ca/.
