����ֱ�� Library is celebrating Science Literacy Week from Sept 21-25.

Science Literacy Week is an annual event aimed at bringing Canadians together, as well as the Queen’s community, to celebrate science and share an appreciation for the insights, inventions and ideas that shape our world.

“Hosting Science Literacy Week activities is a natural fit for the library, says Tatiana Zaraiskaya, Public Service and E-Science Librarian. “We like to reach out to students and faculty with opportunities to engage with others in their own and different fields. The students get a real sense for how the things they are learning about apply to real life.”

Currently scheduled lectures include a talk on enhancements to Web of Science by Stephen DiGiulio from Thomson Reuters, and “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Just Toys or Science Tools?” by Dr. Alexander Braun, Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering.

There will also be science book displays, tours of the Miller Museum of Geology, the Museum of Health Care at Kingston, as well as other presentations, including a 3-D printing demonstration by graduate student Jaryd Traer, a Ground Penetrating Radar and a magnetometer.
