5 Days of Appreciation: Friday
Happy National Volunteer Week! Today is our final day of the week for highlighting Let's Talk Science volunteers. Our volunteers work hard year-round and we appreciate everything they do, every day.
Friday's volunteer are:
Peter Kublik & Sandrine Perreault
Peter, Let's Talk Science CurioCity volunteer, Calgary
How Long have you volunteered with Let's Talk Science?: 8 years
Field of Study: Bioinformatics
Degree Completed: Bachelor of Health Sciences, Major in Bioinformatics
Why do you volunteer?: Science is fundamentally a framework to gather evidence and make decisions about the world around us. It is the lens through which I view the world. That is something I hope to share with a new generation of young scientists.
2 fun facts about Peter: I was an extra in the pilot episode of AMC's Hell on Wheels. I shoot slide film on the same camera which my father used when he was my age now.
Sandrine, Let's Talk Science Outreach volunteer, Montreal
Depuis quand est-ce que tu fais du bénévolat pour Parlons sciences?: Depuis l'automne 2011
Programme d'étude: Baccalauréat en biologie par apprentissage par problèmes et Programme court en anglais langue seconde
Pourquoi fais-tu du bénévolat avec Parlons sciences? Je veux transmettre ma passion pour les sciences aux plus jeunes dans ma communauté. Chaque atelier est pour moi un moment privilégié avec ces derniers. J'aime répondre à leurs questions et assister à leurs apprentissages, c'est très gratifiant pour moi.
Un fait intéressant à propos de Sandrine: Je me préoccupe beaucoup de l'environnement. J'ai eu la chance d'organiser deux plantations d'arbres que j'aurai le plaisir de voir croître.
Let's Talk Science would like to thank every volunteer across Canada for your dedication to the program! To learn more about how you can volunteer with Let's Talk Science, visit our volunteer information page.
