Join Engineers Canada | Ingénieurs Canada at this year’s 30 by 30 conference- a multi-day virtual gathering in June 2021. This year’s virtual 30 by 30 conference will focus on addressing the culture of exclusion against women and underrepresented groups (Black, Indigenous, people of colour, LGBTQ2+, persons with disabilities) in the engineering profession. The sessions will present best practices from engineering regulators and leaders that address the barriers women face whe...n entering and remaining in the profession, as well as the perspectives of Indigenous women, post-secondary champions, and young leaders in the profession.

The Rainbow Milk activity will teach kids about surface tension. Surface tension is caused by the attraction of the particles on the surface layer of a liquid that then results in a minimized surface area. http://www.cwse-on.ca//su/2-uncategorised/174-rainbow-milk #FunFriday #STEMactivity #STEMisfun #STEMathome

Anita Roberts (19422006) was an American molecular biologist who made pioneering observations of a protein, TGF-, that is critical in healing wounds and bone fractures and that has a dual role in blocking or stimulating cancers. She is ranked as one of the top 50 most cited biological scientists in the world. #TBT #HerStory #WomeninSTEM

Nora Lilian Alcock (1874 1972) was a pioneer in the field of plant pathology and the first government-appointed plant pathologist in Scotland. As a result of her research on fungal diseases, in particular red core disease in strawberries, Alcock was awarded an MBE in 1935. Her work developed disease-resistant strains and catalogued seed-borne diseases. During the Second World War, she taught botany to prisoners of war. #HerStory #TBT #WomeninSTEM #plantpathology #Trailblazer
