Sustaining the Future of Our Planet and Ourselves

Speaking as the world’s first neurologist in space and Canada’s first female astronaut, Dr. Roberta Bondar presented her view on Sustaining the Future of Our Planet and Ourselves. Bondar included her personal take on where we are as inhabitants of our planet and some of the challenges we face in sustaining our future.
 
Before she delivered The Whelen Lecture, Dr Bondar participated in:

• a Round Table that explored how individual disciplines can work more holistically and effectively across academic boundaries to address issues of the environment, health and food security and
• a Fireside Chat with a Q & A session that discussed challenges and opportunities of career pathways that transcend boundaries like Dr Bondar’s.
