Featuring topics from environmental solutions to gender policy, the IGnite lecture series has showcased the diversity of research happening at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to a captivated audience of campus and community members. On Thursday, Jan. 30 another lecture will take place on the topics of the underground search for neutrinos and the importance of molecular left- or right-handedness.

IGnite is a collaboration between the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute and the 카지노게임사이트 Relations portfolio. Each event features two researchers from different fields discussing their projects and research experiences, while also including interactive demonstrations and poster presentations from students and additional researchers. The series offers a public platform where researchers can share what first ignited their curiosity and motivates them to pursue their research.

Mark Chen (Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy) holds the Gordon and Patricia Gray Chair in Particle Astrophysics and is a Fellow at CIFAR. At the SNOLAB, he leads the SNO+ project, repurposing for a new mission the research infrastructure once vital to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s emeritus professor Art McDonald카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Nobel Prize-winning work. Dr. Chen will present on how SNO+ is exploring the nature of neutrino mass and oscillations while also searching for neutrinos generated on Earth called geoneutrinos. His research will help solve physics mysteries such as why the Earth has a 카지노 게임 컬렉션�neutrino glow카지노 게임 컬렉션�.  

For Dr. Chen, curiosity is an important part of the research process.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Asking simple questions, asking big questions 카지노 게임 컬렉션� that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s what research is about,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m always delighted to talk about where curiosity has led us in our understanding of the world around us, and what questions we are still seeking answers to.카지노 게임 컬렉션�   

Canada Research Chair in Metal Organic Chemistry Cathleen Crudden (Chemistry) will present on the topic of molecular left- or right-handedness. Her research investigates how organic compounds interact with metals to develop new catalysts important to pharmaceutical and biosensor innovations. In understanding how carbon-to-metal bonds can be significantly more stable than metal-to-organic linkages, her research group focuses on films 100,000 times thinner than human hair and nanoscopically ordered particles. Understanding which "hand" a molecule uses can make all of the difference in whether they work as intended when interacting with certain materials.

The event will take place Thursday, Jan 30, 6:30-9 pm at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library Central Branch (130 Johnson St.).

Registration is free on  and light refreshments will be served.
