Medical imaging is key to detecting and diagnosing cancer, but conventional techniques may be missing part of a bigger picture. Join #SFU Chemistry grad student Joshua Yu to explore a novel approach to gamma-ray detection and PET scans for cancer at Cafe Scientifique, tomorrow, October 28: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/sfu-cafe-scientifique-a-new-perspective-on-seeing-cancer-tickets-1510795924279?_gl=1*l15akg*_gcl_au*MTUzODg3NjIzOS4xNzU0NDIxMzk3*_ga*MTUwODg2NDI0MC4xNzIyOTYzMjk2*_ga_R4BCVYL1QF*czE3NjEwNzk4NzAkbzkwNCRnMSR0MTc2MTA4MTQ0MSRqMyRsMCRoMA. #cafescientifique #publiclecture #chemistry #SFUScience

What if our food packaging could help us keep track of how fresh our food is? New materials for printed circuits being developed at #SFUChemistry and #USask could make it possible. https://www.lightsource.ca/public/news/2024-25-q2-jul-sept/got-sour-milk-printed-electronics-will-tell-you.php
