JOIN US FOR CAFE SCIENTIFIQUE THIS SPRING!

Our final Spring Cafe Scientifique is on April 30th.

Overtraining and the Everyday Athlete

What happens when we train too hard, don’t take enough time to recover, or underfuel while exercising? Dr. Alexandra Coates discusses how these effects apply to both elite athletes and just your “everyday athlete.”

April 30, 2024 - 5:00 - 6:30 pm

After April, our Zoom webinars will return in Fall 2024!

SFU NOBEL PRIZE LECTURES

Each year, the Faculty of Science chooses experts from SFU to explain the importance of the most recent Nobel Prizes awarded for physics, chemistry and medicine/physiology. The 2024 Nobel Lectures, celebrating the 2023 Nobel Prizes, were held at the Science World Theatre on March 6, 2024, featuring Mark Brockman (Molecular Biology and Biochemistry) for the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology, Byron Gates (Chemistry) for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Shawn Sederberg (School of Engineering Science) for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the past Nobel Lectures!
