This year, we brought science to Pride. 🌈

Led by a group of BCMB graduate students, faculty, staff and students donned their lab coats and other science-themed outfits and participated in the Pride Parade.

Everyone is welcome in Science. ❤️

Celebrating our graduates is the best time of every year. ❤️

Over 400 Science students crossed the stage earlier this week, picking up their degree on the way to the next stage of their life.

We're so proud of each and every one.

We're giving an honourary degree to one of our own this Wednesday. Chris Barnes, an emeritus professor in School of Earth & Ocean Sciences, will be recognized for his influential contributions to the fields of marine sciences, geology and paleontology.

Have you ever been curious about UVic's marine research vessel?

Satisfy your curiosity and join us tomorrow at Fisherman's Wharf for an open house on board the RV John Strickland. We'll be there as part of the annual #WorldOceanDay activities!

📅June 8
⏲️11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
📍Fisherman's Wharf

Through the ATLAS Collaboration, thousands of scientists world-wide contribute to the operation of the ATLAS detector, and use the data collected to broaden our understanding of the universe.

How does it all work? Come find out!

“I feel extremely privileged to be able to not only be here and see all these amazing sights firsthand, but to be part of the first all-Canadian expedition in Antarctica. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind...but I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be here.” - @tiaanderlini.bsky.social #WorldWaterDay

It’s not all work! Tia’s also had the chance to meet some penguins. Their MRRB was surrounded by a raft of penguins one day, doing little dives in and out of the water. #WorldWaterDay

Tia and her colleagues head out on the multi-role rescue boat (MRRB) every day. She samples seawater using a 6.5 m pole-sampler at the surface and deploys a Go-Flo water sampler down a kevlar line to collect water at varying depths. #WorldWaterDay

More specifically, Tia is collecting seawater samples for the analysis of trace metals, which are biologically important in the ocean as both micronutrients and toxins. #WorldWaterDay

Tia’s focus on this expedition is to investigate how regional warming is impacting the mobility of trace metals in coastal zones (e.g. due to glacial melt and coastal erosion). #WorldWaterDay

Welcome to Antarctica! PhD student Tia Anderlini (@tiaanderlini.bsky.social) is currently in Antarctica as a research scientist on board the HMCS Margaret Brooke. This trip marks the first circumnavigation of South America and visit to Antarctica by a Royal Canadian Navy vessel. #WorldWaterDay

We're exploring our guts at this week's Café Scientifique talk! Join UVic microbiologist Lisa Reynolds (@drlarey.bsky.social) to learn more about how the immune system manages the intestine and keeps us safe.
