I have posted about this April 30, 2024 event on Zoom previously (see my January 16, 2024 post) so this constitutes a reminder. From an April 23, 2024 Simon Fraser University (SFU) Café Scientifique announcement (received via email),

SFU CAFÉ SCIENTIFIQUE: Overtraining and the Everyday Athlete

Tuesday, April 30 [2024], 5:00 – 6:30 pm over Zoom

What happens when we train too hard, don’t take enough time to recover, or underfuel while exercising? Join SFU Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology professor Alexandra Coates for a discussion about overtraining and and how it affects both elite and “everyday athletes.”

From an April 23, 2024 Simon Fraser University (SFU) Café Scientifique announcement (received via email),

This event is hosted with our friends from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Vancouver in celebration of International Astronomy Day.

Science Rendezvous is now the largest science festival in Canada. (The Canadian government has funded national science events off and on with the Science Odyssey being the most recent iteration. As happens from time to time, whichever agency is organizing the government’s national event either loses funding or can’t commit resources to the event. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada [NSERC] announced its withdrawal as the organizing agency with the 2023 iteration of the event.)

You can find more events more May 11, 2024 Science Rendezvous events across Canada here. So far this year, they have events in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, Northwest Territories, Ontario, and Québec.
