Bethune College PResents: Science on the Cutting Edge – Thursday, March 10, 2022 from 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Leeches, dung beetles, rivers and sky: how environmental DNA is changing the way we study the planet.
Did you know that the DNA of other organisms is right in front of your eyes – in the very air you breathe? Professor Elizabeth Clare has been studying environmental DNA and how this forensic methodology can be used to study biodiversity. Come hear more about her research, and her pathway to her current position as a Professor in the Biology Department at York University.
Environmental (e)DNA is genetic material we all leave behind all the time in form of dead skin cells, hair fragments, and even in the air we breathe. Collecting this (e)DNA has revolutionized how scientists approach ecology and is particularly popular as a forensic method to study fish populations. Is it non-invasive and allows us to study diversity remotely. We recently demonstrated that we can filter (e)DNA right out of the air. This has the potential to transform how we study terrestrial biodiversity. In this lecture Prof. Clare will introduce you to the topic of DNA barcoding, metabarcoding and the wonderful world of environmental DNA. She will show you how we use these forensic methods to study diet, tropical ecosystems, and how we might now be able to vacuum DNA right out of the sky to study the world around us.
Professor Clare has always been interested in the natural world. She’s been camping and canoeing since she was a child and is an avid wildlife photographer. Prof. Clare did her undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario where she joined the Neff Lab and lived on the Queen’s Biology Station every summer conducting fish research. She completed her PhD at the University of Guelph on the diversity of neotropical bats and then won an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship to develop dietary metabarcoding at Bristol University and Cardiff University in the UK. Following a faculty position at Queen Mary University of London studying environmental DNA methods and the impact of broad scale landscape changes on tropical ecosystems, she returned to Ontario with her husband and two young children. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at York.

Despite being making up the overall majority in the field, women represent a stark minority in health leadership. According to the International Finance Corporation, 70%<https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/industry_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/health/publications/womens+leadership+in+health> of 43 million<https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/industry_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/health/publications/womens+leadership+in+health> of women undersell their skills and don’t aim for leadership positions. How can today's students prepare themselves to become health leaders? EWIH has created Building Power to help you: we have a set of 3 distinct workshops hosted by healthcare leaders from diverse fields such as healthcare tech, healthcare law, and practicing physicians to help you in your interviews, mitigate issues of imposter syndrome, teach you how to build your portfolio and much more. Join us by attending Building Power for a stronger future.

Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being<https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/> (SCHW)! We are a department in the Division of Students that supports the mental health and well-being of students at York University.

During your session, your counsellor will develop a goal with you, and help you move closer towards personal success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us, our services are confidential and no problem is too small. We are here for you!

Join our monthly online group to meet other York students navigating gender in a relaxed and safe space. Our group is facilitated by Jay Jonah, a trans-masculine social worker who specializes in supporting trans and non-binary folx. This group is a space to share as much or as little as you want. Ask questions, just listen in, or chat and make some new friends! Open to all trans, non-binary, gender-non-conforming folxs, and those who are questioning their gender.
