Science Literacy Week has arrived!! This year marks McGill’s 10th anniversary of participating in the Canada-wide celebration! Take a look at our retrospective blog post highlighting a decade of Science Literacy @ McGill.
Stop by the Macdonald Library to check out the Arboretum 80th Anniversary display! This display includes historical photos, interesting facts, and some plant fossils!
Visit the Redpath Museum on October 11th for a free workshop for ages 10 and up, on sea turtles, polar bears and climate change. The workshop will be held at the Redpath Museum from 10 – 11 am (in French) and 2 – 3 pm (in English). Registration required.
Science Literacy Week, October 6 – 12, 2025, all across Canada.
Contact April Colosimo or Andrea Miller-Nesbitt with questions or for more information.
These displays spotlight women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), with books about remarkable women who made advances in their fields, despite the challenges of oppressive systems and all of the forms that harassment can take. They tell the stories of women in STEM who did not quit.
This virtual collection of books is tailored to satisfy your curiosity about energy. So, whether you decide to pick up a book or "power up" your knowledge, embark on this journey and enjoy the discoveries!
We have compiled a number of books over the ten years of participating in science literacy week. Here are a few of our favourites.
