Research in action
By Shaunna Yuzik
Driving while talking on a cell phone, neighbourhood design
and climate change—they all affect our daily lives in some way. University of Calgary researchers are finding out more about these issues—and developing solutions.
At the Research in Action breakfast on Friday Nov. 3, you can learn
how research and innovation enrich our lives from three of U of C’s top researchers.
Dr.
Beverly Sandalack, of the Faculty of Environmental Design’s downtown
Urban Lab, believes you would be healthier and happier if you
lived in a well-designed, dense, vibrant inner city community.
Dr. Jeff Caird has conducted a number of driving simulation studies
over the past two years on driver distraction, including research on
cell phones and wireless devices.
Dr. David Keith will speak on what he believes to be the most pressing
environmental challenge—climate change.
The breakfast runs Friday, Nov. 3rd from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Petroleum
Club’s
Devonian Room.
Please RSVP by October 30 to 220-4441 or researchinaction@ucalgary.ca
