Science Week 2024

America/Vancouver
Description

TRIUMF Science Week is back this summer!

July 22nd - July 26th, 2024

Welcome to Science Week 2024

This year's program will feature presentations on recent achievements and highlights of TRIUMF's science program. This year's Science Week will also  be used as platform to present the different 2025-2030 5-year plan scenario and engage discussions with the community. The program will be complemented with sessions on Indigenous learning, EDI, and Sustainability as well as an anniversary session celebrating the 50 years of beam at TRIUMF and the 70th anniversary of CERN.  Parallel sessions will focus on Early Career Networking, Canadian R&D Strategy and Engineering topics. We will conclude the week with the TRIUMF Users Group Annual General meeting.  Science Week features plenty of networking opportunities and social events throughout the week including the now infamous soccer tournament and BBQ at UBC Farm!   

 

Science week is planned as in-person event, but if you want to join online, please follow the zoom links that will be send out to all participants via email.

Registration is now open! Please see the different registration options before starting registration.

 

Early registrations close on June 9th

We’re excited to see you at TRIUMF!

        Production of Alpha Emitting Radionuclides at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

        Dr Andrew Burgoyne received his Bachelor of Science (2009) with a double major in Chemistry and Biochemistry, Bachelor of Science Honours degree (2010) and Master of Science (2012) in Chemistry (cum laude) from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, and his Ph.D. (2015) in Chemistry from the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
        After a stint as a postdoctoral research fellow at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, Dr Burgoyne joined the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK CEN to develop new radiopharmaceuticals harnessing therapeutic radioisotopes. While there he established new radioisotope production capabilities and developed radiochemical processing technologies to purify reactor produced radioisotopes.
        Andrew then joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory to expand his portfolio and gain more experience in actinide chemistry. He is a R&D Staff Member Radiochemist in the Medical Isotopes Development Group, within the Radioisotope Science and Technology Division of the Isotope Science and Engineering Directorate, and now manages radioisotope production efforts for the US Department of Energy Isotope Program. Dr Burgoyne is the principal investigator for the R&D and production efforts of accelerator-produced actinium-225 (cGMP) from thorum-232, also for the fabrication of radium-224/lead-212 generators from thorium-228, and for tungsten-188/rhenium-188 production.

        Weaving Indigenous Knowledge with Mainstream Science using Canada’s Synchrotron

        The Canadian Light Source (CLS), Canada’s only synchrotron, is a national facility the size of a (Canadian) football field. CLS has an education team that delivers programming for high school students and educators that connects science research and science curriculum through inquiry-based teaching and learning that includes hands-on opportunities for youth. In this presentation, Dallas Pelly, Education Coordinator- Indigenous programs, will share knowledge and tips on how to promote science inquiry in a reconciliation context. We will share insights about the Indigenous programming that has been established through the work of the CLS. We will also learn about the work that CLS is doing to change who sees themselves in science, including increasing Indigenous participation in STEM education and learning. Participants will also gain valuable insight into the many program offerings of the CLS including: Students on the Beamline, Teacher PD, seminars & workshops, and more.

        Biography:
        Dallas Pelly is an Indigenous educator, community builder, and social innovator. He is a proud U of S alumnus of the ITEP program (B Ed ’18). He is excited about working as an Education Coordinator- Indigenous Programs at the Canadian Light Source. Dallas is passionate about helping bridge the gap between Indigenous knowledge systems and mainstream science. In his spare time Dallas loves biking, going for long walks, and wrestling with his 3 sons, Oaklen, Emmett, and Denver. Dallas and his family currently reside on Treaty 6 territory in what is now known as Saskatoon.
