DESCRIPTION:Held in partnership with Let鈥檚 Talk Science at 9I制作厂免费 Universit
 y and the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative\, the Lister Science Ch
 ats connect members of the community through live science talks with resea
 rchers from the 9I制作厂免费 Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
  This event features three Macdonald Campus graduate students giving an en
 gaging 10-minute talk on their research and concludes with a Q&A period.\n

 ois Girouard\, MSc student\, Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry\n\nI 
 will present my Master's project\, which is the production and evaluation 
 of a biodegradable insect-inspired food packaging material. Small pillars 
 at the surface of the insect鈥檚 wings were found to be effective at killing
  bacterial cells\, this topography was then reproduced on a plant-based ma
 terial to recreate this same antibacterial effect in order to potentially 
 kill surface spoilage bacteria found on food products!\n\nTrafficking jam 
 in plant cells\nHiba Kamel\, PhD candidate\, Plant Science\n\nPlants have 
 evolved fascinating mechanisms to promote their reproductive fitness. One 
 of them involves the generation of pollen grains\, which are cells that ca
 n grow a tubular structure whose length is thousands of times that of thei
 r diameter. The processes involved in pollen tube elongation have been of 
 great interest to scientists\, one of them has to do with the synthesis an
 d secretion of pectin\, a polysaccharide you may recognize in the ingredie
 nt list of your favorite jam. My work will attempt to identify patterns of
  pectin secretion and to clarify our understanding of how these polysaccha
 rides get packaged inside cells.\n\nUnderstanding material stocks and the 
 urban-rural interface of Montreal鈥檚 built environment\nFelicity Meyer\, MS
 c student\, Bioresource Engineering\n\nIt is estimated that the constructi
 on sector emits approximately 40% of global CO2 and is expected to continu
 e growing in the coming years. A deeper understanding of material movement
  across the urban-rural interface can lead to more informed and sustainabl
 e decisions in the built environment. Here we discuss the potential to est
 imate material stocks (e.g. concrete\, steel\, and wood) across Montreal\,
  Quebec at the neighborhood level and how strategic material substitution 
 can decrease the environmental impacts of urban growth and expansion.\n\nT
