SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT SPEAKER EVENTS
The Science and Environment Lecture Series runs from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month from October to June using the Zoom Webinar format. The on-line format allows large numbers of CALL members to participate and access to a wide range of speakers. A Q& A feature in the Webinar platform provides an opportunity for participants to post questions for the speaker. These are addressed in a curated Q & A session at the end of each presentation. Feedback on each session as well as suggestions for improvement, future topics and so on can be left for the team organizing the lecture series using the Chat feature.

Can you lower your risk of dementia? Speaker: Jay Ingram In 2022 Jay Ingram gave a presentation to CALL entitled, “Alzheimer’s Disease – We’re Getting There”. The talk was very well received. This year he returned to CALL as a speaker in our Science and Environment Lecture Series with a presentation entitled, “De-Extinction” at the end of which he offered to return to give us on update on his 2022 talk. This offer was enthusiastically endorsed by a number of Zoom participants on-line. His update will be the first talk in our fall lecture series. Jay Ingram has hosted two national science programs in Canada, Quirks and Quarks on CBC radio and Daily Planet on Discovery Channel Canada. He is a prolific author whose books have been translated into 15 languages, has six honorary degrees and is a member of the Order of Canada and a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. His twentieth book, The Future of Us, will be coming out on October 3 – the day of his talk as it happens.
