SUMMARY:Skule(TM) Lunch & Learn:  Engineering healthy and sustainable indoor environments
DESCRIPTION:U of T Engineering alumni\, join us for this monthly series. Learn about exciting research in diverse subjects from U of T Engineering professors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe spend approximately 90% of our lives indoors\, making the quality of our indoor air crucial to our well-being. The indoor microbiome—comprising bacteria\, fungi and viruses—plays a significant role in our health. Changing climate patterns\, such as wet weather and flooding\, along with materials like carpet and drywall\, are creating mold growth and air quality challenges. These issues are particularly severe in First Nations housing\, where poor ventilation and high moisture levels are prevalent.  \nHow can engineering and microbiology enable us to optimize human health\, aid in pandemic preparedness and benefit our most vulnerable communities?   \nProfessor Sarah Haines’ research explores the unseen world within our homes. She’ll share her research examining building materials and the influence of moisture on indoor mold growth\, the use of portable air cleansers for viral surveillance and current pathways forward for co-developing solutions that improve indoor air quality in northern First Nations communities.   \nJoin us on October 9\, 2024\, at our monthly Skule™ Lunch & Learn. \n\n\n\nVirtual: A Zoom link will be sent to all guests who registered. \n\n\n\n\n\nCost: Free \n\n*NEW INITIATIVE* \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy registering for the Skule™ Lunch & Learn event\, you could potentially earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits. CPDs are essential for professional engineers and limited license holders to renew their licenses annually through the PEO PEAK Program. If you’re wondering whether this event offering qualifies you for CPD credits\, click here to learn more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Disruptors & Dilemmas presents: Empowering aging in place
DESCRIPTION:As the global population ages\, more of us are facing decisions about how and where to spend our later years or how to best care for our aging family. With workforce shortages\, rising healthcare costs and a desire for independence\, aging in place is becoming a preferred option.   \nAging in place allows people to remain in their homes\, surrounded by familiar settings\, which significantly enhances their quality of life. Advances in smart home devices\, assistive technologies and personalized care align with the principles of aging in place\, making it a practical and dignified option\, when possible. Supporting aging in place ensures that our loved ones—and eventually ourselves—can age with dignity\, connection and the comfort of home.  \nHow can user-centered design enhance the quality of life and safety for aging populations? How can interdisciplinary efforts enhance patient care? What challenges remain? Join us as three experts explore the future of care and the critical role of collaboration in enhancing well-being. \nRead about the panelists and register for the event.\n\n\n\nThis is a Disruptors and Dilemmas speaker series event.\nThis event is co-hosted by: University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering\, Faculty of Arts & Science\, Rotman School of Management\, and Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
