Climate Change Solutions – Take a Cargo Ship to Your Next Dentist Visit?
Dr. Peter Mahaffy, Professor, The King’s University
Photo credit: Miriam Mahaffy
You’re sailing down the Bow River in a cargo ship, on your way to the dentist, contemplating some of the important, but relatively unknown greenhouse gases in our atmosphere that are changing our climate. Suddenly you look up, and a 2 watt light bulb goes on. Maybe there’s a smoke and mirrors solution?
A Zombie ate my Epidemiology Textbook
Stephanie Coward, PhD student, University of Calgary
Stephanie Coward
Zombies have been thought of as a worst-case scenario for disease transmission. There are standard epidemiologic principles that are applied to disease outbreaks, but zombies push the threshold of their application. This presentation aims to explain epidemiologic principles and how they apply to the zompocalyspe.
