鶹AV undergraduates have a unique opportunity to expand their climate science literacy and acquire tools for taking action to reduce the impacts of the unfolding climate crisis.
Registration is now open to students in every program for FSCI 198: Climate Crisis and Climate Actions, a new undergraduate course featuring a team of multi-disciplinary instructors who will present diverse perspectives on the scientific and social dimensions of climate change.
Enjoy the beautiful summer weather and join the outdoors to see and touch specimens from their natural history and world cultures collections. Fossils, skulls, minerals, ancient pottery... you never know what you'll find!
Every Wednesday and Thursday through August 18th: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Different themes each day. Cancelled if it rains.
Sherbrooke St. West and 鶹AV College, east side, inside the Roddick Gates. Look for the white pop-up awning.
Help us bring the hands-on experience of a natural history museum into schools and community venues by supporting the Redpath Museum Discovery Boxes.

Time for, Question 3 of 3 that we asked 10 students of the Redpath Museum on their research, career and general path in science.
This week, "What advice would you give your younger scientist self?"
Without further ado, here is the video:
Thank you to everyone who have been part of this amazing project and thanks for watching! We hope to see you again soon!

herpetologist Jessica Ford explain the work she does with the easily overlooked, yet massively important tadpoles.
co-founders Jessica Ford and Charles Xu detail their paths as scientists and what led them to come together to form STEMM Diversity @ 鶹AV in the new articlePromoting diversity in science.
Wild populations must continuously adapt to environmental changes or risk extinction. For more than fifty years, scientists have described instances of “rapid evolution” in specific populations as their traits (phenotypes) change in response to varying stressors. For example, Spanish clover has developed a tolerance for copper from the mine tailings in which it grows, and the horn size of Alberta bighorn sheep has decreased due to trophy hunting.
A team of international researchers from Canada, Colombia, and Germany has discovered a new marine reptile. The specimen, a stunningly preserved metre-long skull, is one of the last surviving ichthyosaurs – ancient animals that look eerily like living swordfish.
unEarth is one of the finalists' andtheir platform and supplemental educator's manual are designed to reach out andteach youth about sustainability through environmental systems thinking.
