Find on Campus Map
Have you ever dreamed about being a marine biologist, aerospace engineer, particle physicist or doing other exciting research? Come and be inspired by the stories of discovery from researchers across diverse fields at Queen鈥檚 University. Our guests will give a short 20-minute presentation on their area of study and the real contributions they have made and the impact they鈥檝e had on the world.
Ask any Nobel Prize winner 鈥淗ow did you get interested in *blank*?鈥 and they鈥檒l tell you about some event in their teens that sparked a curiosity inside them that never went away. Eventually, that curiosity becomes a question which leads to more questions, on and on until it鈥檚 a question that nobody has an answer to; your unique question and your unique research. IGnite hopes to be that spark and hopes that inspiration will spread through your family and our brilliant Kingston community.
On October 16th, 2019, in Stirling Hall鈥檚 Auditorium C, Professor Lawrence Widrow, his former student Dr. Nathan Deg, and researcher Dr. Sarah Schon from Queen鈥檚 Physics Department will discuss their work looking at the stars, gas, and dark matter of galaxies, and the amazing technologies that allow to study these cosmic scales. The evening talks begin at 7:00 and are followed by a reception featuring poster presentations, demos and opportunities to connect with the speakers and others who are doing inspiring research at Queen鈥檚.
Doors open at 6:30pm
