Happy World Earth Day from your friends at Science Rendezvous!

Look out for the solar eclipse today! Toronto is in the path of 90% totality, and places like niagara falls may get to see the total eclipse. Please remember to protect your eyes with eclipse-safe glasses— normal sunglasses are not enough.

Submit your photos of the eclipse to us through instagram DMs for a chance to be entered into a raffle for an Indigo gift card.

DNA forms the genetic code that provides the instruction manual for life. Understanding the structure and function of DNA has given us incredible insight into how living organisms develop, reproduce, and acquire diseases.

This year, DNA Day commemorates not only the 20-year anniversary of the Human Genome Project's completion but also marks 70 years since the structure of DNA was published in Nature!

Happy !
Every year on April 22, we take time to reflect on the importance of our planet and show support for the natural world and environmental protection. Earth is home to us all.
