As the Chau Chak Wing Museum gets set to host the UMAC2023 conference, for this episode of Object Matters host Dr Craig Barker is joined by UMAC President and Chau Chak Wing Museum Research Fellow Dr Andrew Simpson. UMAC University Museums and Collections, an International Committee of ICOM (International Council of Museums) was founded in 2001 to advocate for university museums and teaching and research collections for museums around the globe. In this discussion, Craig and Andrew talk about the role of museums on a campus from a global perspective, UMAC as an organisation and the aims and ambitions of the 2023 iteration of the annual conference. They also speak at length about Andrew's new book, The Museums and Collections of Higher Education (Routledge 2023). Guest: Dr Andrew Simpson is President of UMAC University Museums and Collections and has extensive experience in higher education, heritage, museums and galleries . Andrew has a science back and he began his museum career as a curator at the University of Queensland. At Macquarie University he introduced and developed Australia's first undergraduate degree program in Museum Studies followed by named postgraduate degree programs. These programs were delivered by the Science Faculty and designed as an alternative to the usual art history / cultural heritage study to career path. It produced graduates for the sector with an enhanced understanding of science in museum practice. His research interests are the history, role and functions of museums in society, in particular, university museums, museum education, natural history and the public understanding of science, as well as his own scientific interests.   Host: Dr Craig Barker, Head of Public Engagement, Chau Chak Wing Museum and Director, Paphos Theatre Archaeological Excavations.

This Climate Talk is a Research Edition, dedicated to the work generated by academia. We counted with different experts and researchers from distinct European Universities, who will share the result of different studies, carried out from different perspectives, around the world of vineyard microbes. We seek to understand how our practices influence the health of our vineyards, the environment, and the wine, exploring the structure, function and management of the vineyard microbiome. It took place in the form of a hybrid event, with a live audience of students from UTAD (Trás-os-Mosntes University).

#017 - Welcome back to the St Edward's School Podcast, the place where we talk to staff, parents and pupils to find out more about life at the school. Now this episode is great because we're talking to the Head of Science Faculty, Katherine Safe, and two of the students. We're going to find out all about the Industrial Cadets, what they are, what the project is and why it's good to get involved. The students will get to talk a little bit about the project, how much of their time it takes up and what advice they would give to other students considering applying for the Industrial Cadets project. That's all to come in this episode, so come with me now as we step into the world of Industrial Cadets, first with Katherine Safe and then with two of the students.

This episode is the second in a two-part series featuring conversations between the WhyPAR Podcast's new co-host, Maddy Ross and five youth researchers: Valeria Pineda, Lainey Rios, Luisa Gonzalez, Jaden McGregor, and Annie Silva. In this episode, the five youth researchers discuss their most recent YPAR project conducted in the summer of 2020 that explored the experiences of Indigenous and Latinx youth living in Tkaronto during the COVID-19 pandemic. Valeria Pineda (she/her) I am 21 years old and I recently graduated from a Social Service Worker program for Immigrants and Refugees, and I am currently working as a Youth Support Worker at a non-profit organization. I was born in Mexico and migrated to Canada with my family at a young age and have grown up in Toronto ever since. My experience being raised as a Mexican immigrant has definitely influenced my choice to work with marginalized communities. I was able to use my desire to work in social justice, research and community with the YPAR group for Indigenous and Latinx students. Lainey Rios My name is Lainey Rios. I am 18 years old and identify as Latinx as my family originates from Mexico. I love to learn, spend time with family, and enjoy being involved in my community or in other programs, like YPAR. I am in my second year of the biological science program at the University of Guelph. I am currently working towards achieving high grades, expanding my knowledge in the science field and completing my undergraduate degree. I enjoy studying the sciences because it relates to everyday life and helps build my understanding of the world we live in. I have been working with YPAR for 3 years now and have really enjoyed my time with the program. Through YPAR I have learned many things through the research projects I've participated in, such as how much I love being part of research. Luisa Gonzalez My name is Luisa Karime Gonzalez, I am 19 years old, my pronouns are she/her. I identify with the LatinX community as my parents are both from Guatemala. Currently I am in my second year at Ryerson University obtaining a Bachelor of Social Work. I am very grateful for the opportunities of participating in multiple YPAR projects Jaden McGregor My name is Jaden McGregor, and I'm an 18-year-old Toronto and Waterloo based Indigenous and Jamaican photographer, traveler, entrepreneur and youth researcher. I'm also in my Second Year at the University of Waterloo studying Geography and Aviation to obtain both my pilot's license and a degree in environmental studies. In November of 2019, I joined the YPAR Program because I felt like it would be an interesting program to attend and to learn from and connect with other Indigenous and Latinx Youth as well as offer my unique perspectives and to further build my skill set. Annie Silva My name is Annie Melisa Silva Borda, I am 19 years old. I identify as a Latinx, born in Colombia and then moved to Canada a couple years later. This past year I finished my first year at the University of Toronto in the Arts and Science Faculty. I enjoyed it very much, I learned a lot of new things and accomplished another goal of mine. I love playing sports, learning and being part of making a change. Having the chance to share our project and talk about it in depth has been an amazing experience and I'm glad we could shine a light on people's different experiences during COVID-19. This episode was hosted and directed by Madeleine Ross, produced by Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández and Sarah Switzer, and supported by Youth Research Lab Assistant Naima Raza.

A young migrant accepted into the Science Faculty at the University of Auckland can't start his studies because of visa hold-ups. The man, who has been in the country for 5 years now, says he’s been told he isn’t allowed to work or even volunteer thanks to the continuing delays in processing applications by Immigration New Zealand. Officials admit some Year 13 students who are dependent on families for visas may face challenges when they finish high school. Chen Liu reports. Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi says he expects a review of the skilled migrant category to canvas a range of settings including criteria relating to dependents and parents' residence applications. He says he's aiming to see the work get underway towards the second half of this year.
