WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE COVID-19 ALL FIGURED OUT – There is something else there we haven’t talked about with it…. Everyone in this world has been impacted by COVID19 in some way or another. It’s has already settled into our lives. It had spread so swiftly and quietly without warning. However, there is one thing that one individual that voiced out in an article: [COVID-19] One Important Recommendation You May Not be Hearing, which has spread faster than the virus itself. That spread is FEAR. So how does one try to alleviate these False Expectations Appearing Real aka FEAR? The Rotary club of Burnaby has invited: Dr. Eugene K. Choi who is a certified transformational mindset coach with a background in clinical pharmacy and filmmaking. As he dove deep into neuroscience, he discovered a proven approach that helps leaders significantly improve company productivity, profitability, and team performance through a science-backed methodology he brings his clients through. He had written the article to voice that concern back in March 18, 2020 to explain how FEAR is deadlier than the virus itself. Since then, his article has gone viral with many medical doctors and nurses sharing the article to provide awareness for it. We’re excited to bring Dr. Choi to touch on how COVID 19 relates to fear, and how it affects the mind and how the brain works in such a state. He’ll also share some techniques on how to alleviate that stress and be able to see the solutions and opportunities to better our community as a whole to be positive. Details of Dr. Choi: Please join the Zoom Meeting: Friday, June 19, 2020 12 PM; just click on, or copy and paste in your browser, this link: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81569455084?pwd=TFVKSHJPbWlWV09oamljS2cxZTdFQT09 Meeting ID: 815 6945 5084 Password: 998661 Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbN4BQ38T If you're calling (this is basically the old school "Party Line" type of telecon) in instead of video calling - please follow these steps.

Hello - We're excited to have Claire Peacock's invited guest, Jerome Mayaud, to present his talk "The Future of Mobility in an Uncertain World." Talk Summary: Public transit ridership was dropping dramatically across North America, even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. As the mobility landscape continues to shift, the future of our cities as safe, inclusive and healthy spaces is at stake. Jerome, a data scientist at a Vancouver-based transportation technology company, will take you on a journey to turn the public transit crisis around. All aboard!
Author Bio: Jerome was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Urban Predictive Analytics Lab, based at UBC, from November 2017 until September 2019. In his research, Jerome asks questions such as, 'how is a city hardwired to be unequal? Who loses out in healthcare or education access? How does information spread through homeless networks?' His tools include statistics, numerical modelling, geospatial analysis and machine learning. Jerome is particularly interested in the ways research can be communicated to the public and used in the realms of policy and decision-making. He has worked for an international sustainability consultancy, for broadcasting networks in the UK, and for the UK's Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology. Social media: https://pics.uvic.ca/community/jerome-mayaud https://twitter.com/JeromeMayaud Samantha Kwong is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Let's learn more about our ocean habitiat and see whether this year's carbon footprint have lessen the impact or worsen our ocean waters and what the future holds for the water and us. Dr. John Nightingale Small Bio: Since I retired from OceanWise at the start of 2019, I have been working in the arctic. I am a Board member of POLAR – the official name is Polar Knowledge Canada. POLAR operates the Canadian High Arctic Research Station in Cambridge Bay Nunavut and is charge with the aggregation and distribution of arctic knowledge (both scientific data and traditional knowledge) across the federal government. It is a new, and very small (by Government of Canada standards) agency and has been going through its “growing pains” getting its strategic goals in place and defining its activities. I have also been working with Environment and Climate Change Canada working to expand public awareness, interest and curiosity about our amazing environment including the weather, climate, and all of the changes happening there. There is so much going on within ECCC that is of interest to all of us – not just scientists, interesting information that isn’t getting out to Canadians. The Department is taking action to change that situation. Expanded public engagement is something I remain passionate about. |
