“ Imagine picking up a glass of what you think is apple juice, only to take a sip and discover that it’s actually ginger ale. Even though you usually love the soda, this time it tastes terrible. That’s because context and internal states, including expectation, influence how all animals perceive and process sensory information … anticipating the wrong stimulus leads to a surprise, and a negative response.“

There are many brilliant science communicators out there but there are also a few who don’t always present the facts correctly. This often comes from over-enthusiasm about the fun comms side of things and impatience with taking time to really understand the science.

When doing science in classroom, what are some ways to encourage kids across different age groups and backgrounds to see themselves in science? The goal is to promote in science, especially to reach children and young adults from underrepresented groups. @academicchatter

The weather is looking iffy for Starry Nights tonight, but we're taking our chances!

Drop by the Science Courtyard 6:30-9:30pm to chat with Trottier Observatory staff and Royal Astronomical Society of Canada volunteers. If we get a clear patch of sky we may open the observatory dome to get a look at the comet passing near Mars. ow.ly/hzis50MPSo1
