COVID-19, Nutrition and Lifestyle Factors in the Canadian Population

Online

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic with waves of ensuing isolation measures affect usual eating and lifestyle habits to various degrees among individuals. The presentation will describe preliminary results from a cohort of 2021 adult participants recruited from May to December 2020 from all provinces of Canada, being followed every 3 months for a year. Participants report on how the pandemic affects their eating habits, cooking skills, food security, body weight, physical activity, sleeping patterns and mental health. Using a mobile application, food intake is tracked at each follow-up to assess nutrient adequacy and diet quality with the goal of identifying trends and contributing factors.

Speaker’s Night: Planets under construction; how to study a million year process

Online

Planets around other stars, also called exoplanets, are seen everywhere! In the last 25 years, thousands of exoplanets have been found throughout the Milky Way. How do we find these planets? What are the chances of discovering life there? And if they are so common, why is it that we still don't know how they are formed? With the ALMA telescope we can now finally zoom into the birth cradles of planets: dusty disks around young stars. The spectacular images have given us new insights, but also raised many more questions on the process of planet formation.
