Microbes are all around us, and while some help us, many can cause harm. For many years humans and microbes have been in an arms race of protecting ourselves versus them resisting our latest technologies. In recent years, microbes have been winning.

Join our panel of world-renowned scientists to learn how the science of genomics is changing our battle against the microbes – from health to food, to the environment, to the very future of antimicrobials.

Let’s Talk Microbes is brought to you by Genome Canada.

What does health mean in the coming years and decades? How does the ongoing global pandemic shift our thinking?

Discover a leading-edge way of thinking by exploring the concept of One Health.

One Health is the interconnectedness of systems across human, animal and ecological determinants of health. From the most simple organism to the most complicated one, when it comes to health, we are all linked.

This connection ensures wellness when health is supported and risks nefarious effects, as shown by the COVID-19 pandemic when it is not.

Join a panel of world-renowned scientists, visionaries and researchers to learn more about One Health. Participate in a leading-edge discussion touching upon Indigenous knowledge systems and how this concept can hold the key to managing the next global crisis. As part of the panel, David Saint-Jacques, Canadian Space Agency astronaut will deliver a keynote around One Health and his personal experience with the concept.

Let’s Talk One Health is brought to you in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency, Genome Canada and the Royal Society of Canada.
