Let's Talk Digital Literacy Symposium

Join Let’s Talk Science at McGill University and the McGill Initiative in Computational Medicine (MiCM) for a free day exploring computational approaches used in modern biology. This one-day symposium introduces students to coding and digital tools applied in fields such as genomics, neuroscience, and ecology.

Through hands-on sessions and discussions, participants explore artificial intelligence (AI), digital literacy, and critical thinking in the digital age.

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), taking place November 18-24, is a global campaign led by the World Health Organization to raise awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobials, making infections harder to treat. This campaign highlights the importance of responsible antimicrobial use and encourages collective action to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.

From AGTC to Species - Intro to Metabarcoding Bioinformatics

This workshop introduces participants to the metabarcoding bioinformatics workflow, using real sequencing data to process raw reads and assign taxonomy. It is designed for beginners, and no prior coding experience is required. We will cover command line, QIIME2, Cutadapt, DADA2 and a quick overview of NCBI BLAST and its applications for metabarcoding. By the end, participants will understand the main steps of the workflow and how to adapt it to their own research.
