Explaining Colonel Williams
Colonel Russell Williams’ guilty plea to break-ins, sexual assault and murder has cut short what was evolving into a trial that would grip the world. But that doesn’t stop the public from viewing pictures on the Internet of the formerly well-respected military leader dressed in women’s under garments and other evidence that could have been used in his trial. Joti Samra, a clinical psychologist at SFU can talk about the challenges parents face in explaining these images to children who are accessing them on the Internet via ongoing media coverage.

Spooktacular—Round 2
It was such a spectacular hit last year that SFU’s Second Annual Science Spooktacular will feature two Phantom Physics and Cryptic Chemistry shows this year, Saturday Oct. 30, at the Burnaby campus. Outrageously costumed students and faculty in biology, chemistry, physics and radiation safety will stage the two types of shows at 1 and 3 p.m. in B9200 lecture hall in the Shrum Science Centre. A free public celebration of Halloween from 12:30 to 4 p.m., Spooktacular offers a chance to connect with creepy crawly creatures and engage in hands-on Halloween science experiments just outside of B9200. Sarah Johnson, a senior lecturer in SFU Physics and a Spooktacular organizer, says priority seating at the shows will be given to holders of free tickets, which must be reserved by filling out an RSVP web survey at http://websurvey.sfu.ca/survey/65485698.
