Maya R. did a great presentation and we had a fun conversation about the future of using DNA for idenitifcation purposes and the the controversy of the government having access to everyone's genetic make-up. She also had a little pamphlet with all the information she collected which was good as it made it easier to engage in a discussion without missing the main compenents of the presentation - faiza

Martin and Michael had a lot of insight on the career and I found it very interesting that there is so much job availablity in this field, considering that careers in chemistry normally have a very competitive job market - Faiza

Martin and Michael had a fantastic presentation on what a computer engineer does!! I learnt a lot! They really seemed to know a lot about computer security, future of computers and technology etc. Martin had an interesting perspective on the future of technology; when I asked him if we would possibly had silicon based life forms aka lifelike robots, he says that as long as we do not fully understand how our brain works/why we think etc., we will not be able to achieve this. Because we need to first understand something to model of program it. This really made sense to me and was very intriguing! - Shradha

Maya's presentation was extremely informative and interesting. I learned the process of obtaining karyotypes, using chemicals to isolate chromosomes in metaphase to effectively photograph for study. This process is used to provide diagnosis to various diseases and disorders.

I learned a lot about Computer Engineering from Martin and Michael such as a sample algorithm that occurs in the computer processes. The flowchart conveys the decision making capabilities of a computer in accordance to the input. (Jeff T)

Erin and a Christine had a vast understanding of their topic while they are both planning on perusing the medical field of study. They had a great interactive game where they had a puzzle to piece organs together as it helped set the tone in their presentation. Overall they knew what they were talking about and answered all my questions.

Brent and Jeff put together a well thought out and interactive station. I developed a deep insight on their occupation and discovered that chemical engineers not only have to have a strong chemistry background, but mustn't be well rounded in regards to all courses as well as having strong social skills. Nice job Brent and Jeff.

I learn a lot about the differences between a forensic anthropologist and a forensic toxicologist.The game that they had was fun and it was a great way to test our knowledge. Maja

Overall, Hank and Kevin had a very insightful and interactive presentation. The most interesting chemistry-related concept that stood out to me was iontophoresis, and how electrical currents are used to increase the rate of drug distribution in the body. In addition, they were able to demonstrate and explain some exercises used on patients for muscle relief.

Camilla did a fantastic job on explaining her chemistry career. Upuntil  this week I never knew what a regulatory affairs associate did, and that such a job even existed. She gave a great run down of the education pathway, chemistry background needed for this job, and how the job affects issues at the level of our Canadian society, in addition to the issue of the environment. Something I found interesting is that the chemistry background needed for becoming a regulatory affairs associate includes reviewing analytical reports, having an advanced knowledge of pharmacology and its relation to chemicals (thus being active and inactive ingredients in medications), approving drug formulations and reviewing the manufacturing process of drugs.  One other thing I found interesting is that this career's connection to society is that by going paperless, less time is needed to get a new drug product approval and larger quantities of medication becomes available faster. -Skye

Maja, Jhankhana, and Shrada had an excellent poster board complete with a very interactive activity. They were professional and friendly. One of the interesting things that I learned in terms of what a forensic anthropologist is able to do is determine the race, age, and sex of an individual through their remains. In the interactive activity that they did included being shown images of two different pelvises, two skulls and then a final picture  of skulls of males and females of different races and we had to guess if from the two pictures before if the individual we were trying to identify was a European female or an Asian male. By using my prior knowledge of sexual dimorphisms in humans, I was able to conclude that the remains belonged to the European female. -Skye

Nursing Professor (Sonya)

Sonya has a very good understanding of the role that a nursing professor has in helping nursing students enter the workforce. She discussed various soft skills that must be taught to students such as compassion, a love to learn and a passion for helping others. The presentation was very effective and she had a lot of interesting stories from her mothers experience as a prof. She brought up a very interesting point with the various pathways that one could take to become a professor. Some spend a long time working in the field before becoming a prof, where others go directly into professor at a young age. This diagram is a simplified example of the pathways that one can take to become a professor.

Hank and Kevin had a good presentation about physiotherapists and they demonstrated a strong understanding of the career expectations as well as the education and experience required to land a job. They already have a good understanding of various muscle groups and stretches/exercises that target them. They were easy to converse with about the topic and answered all my questions clearly. They also helped stretch my ankle and roll my calf. Good job - Brent

Emergency Trauma Surgeon (Andee)

Andee did an outstanding job talking about the daily adventures of a trauma surgeon and had a clear understanding of what role they play in a hospital. Her personal connections to the career and a very organized presentation board made the topic more interesting to learn about! I found it especially interesting to learn about the different skills that a surgeon needs to be successful in the field. This diagram on her board talks about the physical requirements, and Andee discussed various mental tools that are also required throughout her presentation.

Maya talked about her career very passionately and went into a lot of depth. CRISPR is one of the newest technologies in genetic manipulation which enables genetic technicians to potentially cure diseases by removing, adding or altering a DNA sequence.

The job of a emergency trauma surgeon is very stressful and can be life changing for the victims and their families. Sometimes you are required to make decisions on the spot which may not follow the protocol, but can help save the victim's life. Emergency trauma surgeons are constantly required to make immediate, difficult, and calculated decisions, as a result they need to have both physical and mental stamina.

Many different technologies are being used to make the job of a forensic toxicologist more efficient. Technologies such as, gene expression, computerised testing methods, and predicting the amount of toxic through non-invasive urine and blood samples. All of these techniques aid forensic toxicologists in providing justice and perhaps even saving lives.

Jhankhana

They explained how different branches of engineering overlap, but have a different focus and can be more specialized than others (such as software engineering).

It is interesting that forensic anthropologists can know so much about a person based on just their bones, including what their face looked like. It's nice to know that many forensic techniques seen on TV actually work in real life, such as facial reconstruction and knowing a persons ethnicity based on their skull.

This job is very important in many legal cases as forensic toxicologists analyze drug contents in deceased bodies and can determine cause of death and also do fingerprint analysis. So this job not only involves chemistry but has a latge impirtant in the legal system.

This drug is showing up in the streets at is is given "a better high" at a cheaper price. Although it is expremly lethal as just touching it can cause an overdose and possible death as it can inter the body through the skin.
