Queen's Discovery Day in Health Sciences |
|
A group of excited and driven biology students took part in TD Discovery Day in Health Sciences at Queen's University on May 16. They attended a keynote lecture by Canada's Research Chair in Cancer Biology, Dr. Susan Cole, and participated in a wide variety of hands-on workshops. Students used a human patient simulation mannequin to learn what happens in the hospital when a patients heart stops beating and also delivered a baby! Students assited in a research lab and performed biotechnology techniques including polymerase chain reaction. Students also took on the role of an epidemiologist and conducted an investigation into the spread of a food borne illness. It was an excellent day to explore the wide range of careers involved in Health Sciences and our students were inspired!

On Wednesday, May 16th, thirty-five PECI students accompanied Mr Sheahan, Ms MacKay and Ms Etmanski to Young People's Theatre in Toronto for a performance of the play Beyond the Cuckoo's Nest.
The play is a cutting edge and realistic look into the world of teen mental health by Edward Roy.
This thought provoking and gritty production was followed by a Q and A with the actors. And, as PECI has become known for at YPT, we asked seven out of the eight questions. |
