What better place to sharpen one’s leadership skills than amidst the harsh landscape of Antarctica. The frozen continent is filled with stories of leadership from the early 20th century explorers and their race to be the first to set foot on the South Pole. For 76 of us from around the world - all women with science backgrounds - Antarctica was the backdrop for our own explorations into leadership.

Putting the “slam” into science

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

It’s not every day that you can sit back and enjoy a pint of beer while being entertained – and informed – by a professional scientist. But that’s exactly the idea behind the concept of the science slam. Modelled after the poetry slam, a science slam challenges scientists to deliver a five-minute, educational talk – while keeping their audience highly entertained. “I love educating others about the work I do, and seeing their eyes light up when I talk about fish and wildlife,” says Sarah Walton

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 2-8), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. This text has been adapted from the Picturing the Past website, developed by the Canada Science and Technology Museum in 2006. As early as 1933, with Hitler’s rise to power, the British government began to plan for war with Germany.

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 2-8), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. The captions displayed here are the original text. During the Second World War, iron was a vital commodity for ship building, as well as rails, guns, and munitions manufacturing. Raw ore was shipped from Little Bell Island, Newfoundland, among other mines, to Sydney, Nova Scotia, where it was made into steel. In September 1942, two ships waiting to be filled with ore were sunk
