About the Presenters
Jason Armstrong, Partner Projects and Science Communication, Ingenium, Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation
As Project Manager for the Let’s Talk Energy initiative and other special national projects related to climate change, ocean literacy, and sustainability I have been fortunate to have worked in museums for more than 20 years as a guide, educator, interpretative planner, and project manager. I am naturally curious and love to learn, so working in a museum on lots of different topics from energy to salmon to satellites is perfect for me! When not at work, I like to explore the wood of the Ottawa/Gatineau area with canoeing and hikes. I am an avid reader and enthusiastic board game player, and love to cook for friends and family.
