Cafe Scientifique events in Surrey - presented by BPK SFU

Vancouver


	Funded in-part by CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health and the Public Health Agency of Canada

This five-part series will feature discussions by leading experts from the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University on topics related to health. Café Scientifique is a concept used around the world to describe an informal discussion, rather than a public lecture, between researchers and members of the community. The Cafes usually take place in a pub or café. In our series, speakers will discuss their health-related topic for approximately 20 minutes. In the case of two speakers at a Café, each will talk for approximately 15 minutes. A discussion with the audience will ensue for about 45 minutes. Smaller breakout group discussions will also be encouraged as the evening wraps up.
