2024 Digital Futures Symposium

Event Details

The symposium is a two-day event designed to encourage collaboration between industry and academia in two distinct ways.

By attending, you will not only influence Canada’s Digital Future, but you will also learn how your organization or academic institution can contribute to thought leadership, advancing practices, and making improvements to digitalization efforts across different sectors.

Event Agenda

Day 1: Building Industry Academic Partnerships to Drive Digital Futures in Canada

Thursday May 9th – 8:30-5:30 pm (ET)

This is a full day conference where digital leaders in academia and industry will come together to discuss how we can promote collaboration in research and development to advance technology innovation and digital transformation in Canada.

Day 2: Digital Futures Paper Development Workshop

Friday May 10th – 8:30-3 pm (ET)

The second day of the conference will focus on a collaborative research event where thought leaders in industry and academia will provide feedback and guidance on works in progress. Short versions of papers, research projects, and journal articles will be submitted and those accepted will be discussed by a team of mentors who will offer constructive criticism, suggestions, and insights to help authors enhance the quality and impact of their work.

Description:

A Radical Solution for C(sp3)–C(sp3) Bond Formation during the Biosynthesis of Macrocyclic Membrane Lipids

Archaea synthesize isoprenoid-based ether-linked membrane lipids, which enable them to withstand extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high salinity, and low or high pH values. In some archaea, such as Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, these lipids are further modified by forming carbon–carbon bonds between the termini of two lipid tails within one glycerophospholipid to generate the macrocyclic archaeol or forming two carbon–carbon bonds between the termini of two lipid tails from two glycerophospholipids to generate the macrocycle glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT). GDGT contains two 40-carbon lipid chains (biphytanyl chains) that span both leaflets of the membrane, providing enhanced stability to extreme conditions. How these specialized lipids are formed has puzzled scientists for decades. The reaction necessitates coupling two completely inert sp3-hybridized carbon centers, which has not been observed in nature. Here we use X-ray crystallography, high-resolution mass spectrometry, chemical synthesis, and biochemical analyses to show that the gene product of mj0619 from M. jannaschii, which encodes a radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme, is responsible for biphytanyl chain formation during synthesis of both the macrocyclic archaeol and GDGT membrane lipids.

Blackcentricity: Bridging Ubuntu Philosophy and African Elders Knowledge for Black Solidarities

This address will employ the interface of Blackness and Africanness, grounded in the Ubuntu philosophy to articulate ‘Blackcentricity’ as an approach for Black/African peoples’ advancement. In my address this twinning of ‘Black’ and ‘African’ in “Blackcentricity” is deliberate - to register the confluence of race, colour, culture, spirituality and history to implicate, invoke and further advocate for a global Black African radical politics.

Using Cognitive Principles to Motivate Durable Learning in Students with Dr. Joe Kim

Using Cognitive Principles to Motivate Durable Learning in Students with Dr. Joe Kim

When:
Wednesday, May 29, 2024
10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Where:
Ellis Hall
Room: Auditorium
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Research from cognitive psychology on attention, memory and learning has informed our pedagogical decisions to develop evidence-based interventions in education. A key focus has been to promote learning that is durable – extending beyond short-term testing into long-term retention of information that remains with the student after the final exam. In this presentation, I will discuss how academic performance is significantly improved with effective learning strategies that have been established in controlled lab studies and translated to the classroom. These practices work by strengthening long-term retention and depend on instructors to implement effective instructional design and students to take an active role in their own learning.

This is the keynote for Teaching and Learning Month:

Join us as our 2024 Teaching and Learning Month with several sessions facilitated by Dr. Joe Kim.  This  series will offer an opportunity to focus on your teaching as well as your personal well-being.  Lunch will be provided to allow participants time to connect with colleagues from across the university.

Psychology of Focusing on What Really Matters with Dr. Joe Kim

When:
Tuesday, May 28, 2024
2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Where:
Ellis Hall
Room: 321
Find on Campus Map
Description:

We are pulled in multiple directions with increasing demands for our time and attention. Without a game plan, confusion, procrastination and “busy work” dominate over moving toward higher goals. Research from psychology can provide effective strategies to choose priorities that separate signal from noise, focus attention to engage in deep work, and develop habits that invest limited resources on what really matters. In this workshop we will (1) explore how understanding the cognitive architecture of the mind leads to developing a working plan to handle daily challenges with optimized solutions; (2) develop a culture for productivity that promotes deep work; and (3) learn about tools to integrate into workflows to shift our resources to important tasks that include strategic planning.

Part of Teaching and Learning Month:

Join us as our 2024 Teaching and Learning Month with several sessions facilitated by Dr. Joe Kim.  This  series will offer an opportunity to focus on your teaching as well as your personal well-being.  Lunch will be provided to allow participants time to connect with colleagues from across the university.
