Events
The Faculty of Science is committed to fostering our connection to the community beyond Carleton and to increasing the awareness and appreciation of science in society.
We are proud to share our contributions with the local community and to contribute to the public understanding of science through our annual Herzberg and Discovery lectures, chemistry magic shows, annual butterfly show, and our Science Café series, all of which are free and open to the public.
