Foods bearing a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) under European Union legislation are appreciated by consumers worldwide for their distinct sensorial attributes. Grana Padano PDO cheese is made in a restricted geographical area and observing rigorous specifications. The cheese ripens for a minimum 9-month period during which proteolysis proceeds throughout highly repeatable pathways, leading to characteristic peptide and free amino acid profiles in the mature cheese.
Coding Ateliers
As part of CDSI, the Data Science Solutions Hub (DaS2H) offers Coding Ateliers to the entire McGill community, where you can drop-in during atelier hours with your laptop, work on your research project and, whenever you have a question, we would be happy to assist you on the spot. If your question turns out to be a bigger issue that we cannot solve instantly, we will advise you how to best proceed.
Held in partnership with the John Abbott College Science Department and the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative, the Sustainability Through Science Symposium features three Macdonald Campus graduate students giving an engaging 10-minute talk about how their research contributes to a more sustainable future. The talks will be followed by a panel discussion on their student experience in university and the career path they have chosen.

Come discover the secrets of trees!
The Office of Student Academic Services in collaboration with the Sonia Bujold Initiative and Let’s Talk Science, has put together a lovely free online booklet of self-paced activities on trees.
Held by the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative in collaboration with John Abbott College, the Lister Science Chats connect members of the community with researchers from the McGill Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The event features four Macdonald Campus graduate students giving an engaging 10-minute talk about their research and how the discoveries, sometimes unintentional, and techniques of previous scientists made their work possible. The event will conclude with an open Q&A period.
Panel Overview: Instructors design and implement the teaching that students experience. This panel will focus on how Generative AI is forcing us to rethink what and how we teach and conduct assessments. Instructors and students from different disciplines will share reflections on their experiences and discuss future directions for teaching in the age of Generative AI.

Panel Overview: Students learn in formal and informal settings and ways. Generative AI will challenge our assumptions about the way learning happens and what it means to have learned something. This panel will explore the experiences of instructors and students from different disciplines and look to future directions for learning in the age of generative AI.

Overview: While beliefs regarding the impact of AI on education – both realized and potential – are readily available, what we actually know and understand about such impacts is still quite limited. This panel will illustrate some of the routes that researchers are taking towards building a better collective understanding necessary for the responsible use of AI in education.
