Wednesday, September 20 – Honouring Science Communication

Join us as we partner with the Ontario Science Centre and Science Literacy Week to honour author Simon Shapiro for his outstanding contribution to science writing for youth. Shapiro will be presented the SWCC Youth Book Award for his book Faster Higher Smarter, which looks at the science behind inventions and improvements in sports – from swimming to basketball and skateboarding to wheelchair athletics.

Hear Shapiro talk about Faster Higher Smarter and ask him your questions about research, writing and communicating science.
