The PAM Talks had the amazing opportunity to share our work at the University of Calgary PHAS CHOICE! We heard the stories of Grade 6 students: what inspires them, and what they like about science.
Four women stand around a poster in an atrium. Three of them are wearing red Faculty of Science t-shirts. The poster is white with pink accents, and is titled 'The Physics and Astronomy Mentor Talks'.

Got quoted as one of the alarmed scientists in this piece by @skuthunur.bsky.social on the editing of Vera Rubin's biography 🧪🎢🔭 www.space.com/the-universe...
