Lister Science Chats
Held by the聽Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative, the Lister Science Chats connect members of the community through live science talks with researchers from the 不良研究所 Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. This event features five Macdonald Campus graduate students giving an engaging 6-minute talk on their research and concludes with a Q&A period.
Speakers
Meryem Talbo
PhD Candidate, School of Human Nutrition
Diabetes: the untold story
In this presentation we will challenge the conventional beliefs about diabetes to introduce its untold story.
Kaidi Wang
PhD student, Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry
Rapid Identification of Foodborne Pathogens using Machine Learning
This study developed a rapid and reliable approach to identify 5 common foodborne bacteria using Raman spectroscopy at the single-cell level, providing a powerful tool for epidemiological surveillance of foodborne pathogens in the agri-food chain.
Lucas Roldos
PhD Candidate, School of Human Nutrition
Optimizing the benefits of fruit and vegetable phytochemicals
Dive into the world of phytochemicals, their complex metabolism, and how probiotics and the gut microbiome may magnify their benefits.
Isabella Chiaravallotti
PhD Candidate, Plant Science
Can Machine Learning Help Us Feed The World?
Dive into the world of phytochemicals, their complex metabolism, and how probiotics and the gut microbiome may magnify their benefits.
Jasmine Muszik
PhD Candidate, Animal Science
Holy Cow....Just Let Me Go Outside! An Insight into Animal Frustration
Animals can become frustrated, just like us! This presentation will highlight what frustration in animals looks like, why it matters for their well-being, and the results of a recent study the presenter completed on frustration in dairy cows.
The Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative聽provides science communication training to Macdonald Campus researchers to help them make their science accessible by teaching them to further hone their content, physical presence and voice to effectively engage a variety of audiences.
