From the keynote speaker through to the award winners and finalists, 鲍鱼tv had a big presence at the 11th annual Discovery Awards last Thursday night.

The awards, organized by Halifax鈥檚 Discovery Centre, bring together Nova Scotia鈥檚 best and brightest for a celebration of science, technology and innovation. With a crowd of more than 400, the gala not only brought home the importance fostering a love of science among Canada鈥檚 youth, but demonstrated how it鈥檚 possible to realize scientific potential right here in Nova Scotia.

Dal made its presence felt in a number of ways. Jeff Dahn, internationally renowned energy expert and professor in Dal鈥檚 Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science, was the event鈥檚 guest speaker, discussing the transformative possibilities of scientific education. Both of the Hall of Fame inductees 鈥� Jock Murray and the late George Geoffrey Meyerhof 鈥� were from 鲍鱼tv (in Dr. Meyerhof鈥檚 case, the former TUNS). And the awards themselves featured six Dal finalists and two wins.
