Kristine Spekkens and Daryn Lehoux will be telling their stories for a general public audience, well suited for a high-school students, and curious adults alike. No two scientists do the same research, and this event highlights the incredible diversity of academic interests and scientific talent in Kingston. IGnite hopes to be the spark that inspires you and your family to keep learning, and seek out answers to your own questions.
Dr. Kristine Spekkens works with some of the world's largest and most advanced radio telescopes looking for cosmic gas and clues about the very nature of how galaxies like ours form.
Prof. Daryn Lehoux, in anticipation of the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th, will talk about how eclipses throughout history have contributed to humankind's scientific knowledge.
