She is also the co-founder of\u00a0ScopeSys<\/a>, a Canadian startup company whose mandate is to bring single-molecule precision and control to real-world applications. Most recently, Dr. Leslie has been awarded the 2020 Young Investigator Award from the Biophysical Society of Canada for her outstanding contributions to the field of single-molecule biophysics.<\/p>\n This session will include presentations from the Dawson Research in Neuroscience Group and students from the\u00a0SPACE 365: Make Things That Matter<\/i>\u00a0course.\u00a0 In addition to neuroscience research, the students will present on topics that address problems around contemporary issues. These include waste management in the home, affects of technology on attention, the use of drones for wildlife monitoring, and how to reclaim memory for those impacted by dementia.<\/p>\n Awards presentations, refreshments and discussion.<\/p>\n Scheduled Talks The talks are open to all; please\u00a0RSVP\u00a0 with subject line: “ScienceFest RSVP” if you would like to attend one or more of the sessions.
