    Description:

    Let’s come together and celebrate the seas and skies that surround us! This Science Literacy Week, the McDonald Institute and the Carbon to Metal Coating Institute are partnering to showcase how Canadian researchers tackle the challenges of the modern industry and technology and explore the mysteries of the Universe, using the vast waters and ice that cover our lovely planet. Join us on October 11th, 2025 at 7pm, for a day of discovery, from Sea to Space.  In collaboration with the Queen’s Observatory, we will have Prof. Nahee Park talk about Probing the extreme environments in our Universe through the great ice sheet at the South Pole. 

    The presentation will be followed by tours of the Queen’s Observatory, where our guests can observe planets and other celestial objects through our telescopes, as well as a guided tour of the Visitors Center of the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute and the research labs of the Carbon to Metal Coating Institute.
