This week was the second annual Science Academy hosted at the University of Windsor.  It’s a week-long event designed to bring students from the Windsor-Essex area onto campus.  They get to experience science lectures and get hands-on experience in a laboratory!  Professors and students from each of the departments within the Faculty of Science are involved.

I had a great time helping out with the Physics Department’s contribution last year, and this year their activity was featured in the Windsor Star.  Right now I’m living and working in Europe – which is awesome – but I was really bummed that I couldn’t be there this year.  I still got to be involved in a small way at the end of the week!  I sent an awkward video filmed from my cell phone at CERN that made everyone laugh during the career panel session on Friday.  You can check it out below, but just remember not to judge!  It was my first day at CERN, and I spent it running around to different buildings to complete registration.  Oh, and it happened to be in the middle of a 40 degrees Celsius heat wave!

Congratulations to everyone at UWindsor’s Science Academy on another successful year!
