Playing with Eggs and Sperm: Wisdom or FollyBarbara Vanderhyden, Ph.D. University of Ottawa, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. 10:00 a.m.On July 25, 1978 Louise Brown, the first baby to be conceived outside its mother's body, was born. The existence of Louise is possible because of a technique called in-vitro fertilization, one of a growing number of assisted reproductive technologies developed to help infertile people have children who are genetically their own. After more than 30 years, questions about these techniques continue to create ethical controversy, and are the subject of much legal and moral debate. Dr. Vanderhyden will provide an overview of these technologies, as well as explore some of the ethical issues associated with these techniques.

Explore the world of UAVs, or remotely piloted aircarft, and see how these these sophisticated aircraft serve as the eyes and ears for troops on the ground. You'll learn first-hand how this cutting edge technology is transforming the way that the Air Force conducts its peacetime and combat missions. You'll get a feel for this state-of-the-art aircraft as it embarks on risky reconnaissance missions in some of the most dangerous, remote areas of the world.

The 6000-ton ATLAS experiment located at CERN's 27-kilometer Large Hadron Collider is currently collecting vast amounts of data. Learn how these huge experiments are used to explore the structure of the universe we live in, and how we search for evidence of the Higgs Boson, Dark Matter, Extra-dimensions in space, and even tiny black holes.

Il ne faut pas croire tout ce que l’on voit au cinéma, surtout s’il s’agit d’un film catastrophe. Découvrez comment le film Voyage au centre de la Terre n’est peut-être pas aussi réaliste que vous le pensiez sur le plan scientifique.

Here in Canada, we are no strangers to ice! It is found in most of our waterways and adjacent oceans and its presence can be a problem for engineers or for anyone that has to navigate through ice-covered water. Explore the world of ice in a talk by Anne Barker of the National Research Council. Learn about the science behind ice and find out how it influences coastal engineering, the design of bridges and other offshore structures, and the shipping industry. Discover the “cool” research that Canadian scientists are doing to harness both the power and potential of this common material.
