An explosive week, it includes a presentation by Dr. Marcel Leblanc, one of the country's foremost authorities on superconductors, always a perpetual favourite. The Let’s Talk Science career panel from the University of Ottawa features six graduate students, talking about their personal experiences and career choices. Exciting visits to the Canada Aviation Museum, the Canada Museum of Science and Technology, the Canadian Museum of Nature laboratories, and special workshops on DNA and chemistry top off the week.
