Edmonton Girl Geek Dinners - Season 3 Episode 1 (WORMS IN SPACE)

We've talked pop culture, forensic science, video games, and dinosaurs. But to open Season Three of Edmonton Girl Geek Dinners, we're going to a topic you probably never expected... Worms. 

No, seriously. 

But worms are cool!

, Dr. Torah Kachur, will be blowing our minds with some knowledge bombs about worms - C. elegans to be more specific. Did you know worms are important in understanding aging, how our brains work and furthering into medical techniques? These worms are even used for space research and have been on space missions! Science in SecondsOne of the talented women behind

Our Speaker

Torah Kachur is a world-travelling, sports-playing super-geek who doubles as a University professor. In between exploring the planet and warping young scientists' minds, she completed her PhD from the University of Alberta in developmental genetics. Torah loves to ask questions about the state of science in the world and to comment on all sorts of scientific fields.Torah still manages to find time to write, produce and host videos for Science in Seconds,  make molecular replicas of DNA and ride horses across Mongolia. All while perfecting the concept of geek-chic.
