This event features three Macdonald Campus graduate students giving an en gaging 10-minute talk on their research and concludes with a Q&A period.\n \nJoin us live at: https://letstalkscience-parlonssciences-ca.zoom.us/j/91 709449259\n\nDeveloping an online education platform to promote self-manag ement in youth living with type 1 diabetes \nAsmaa Housni\, MSc student\, School of Human Nutrition\n\nTight control of blood glucose levels is crit ical when managing type 1 diabetes. Acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills is imperative to gain the self-confidence and self-management capac ities to adequately manage such a demanding condition. There is a lack of tailored education and long-term support for youth living with this condit ion. My research aims to develop an online education platform\, using yout h’s input\, that will target their need for management. After its developm ent\, we want to evaluate if its use significantly improved blood glucose control and self-management behaviours.\n\nProspecting the chicken microbi ome for anti-infective probiotics \nZhixuan Feng\, PhD candidate\, Animal Science\n\nBecause of the risk of Antibiotic Resistance (ABR)\, the Canadi an poultry industry decided to decrease the use of antibiotics step by ste p. However\, without antibiotic treatment\, the colonization of some zoono tic pathogens will likely increase in the chicken intestine and higher the chances of chicken bacterial infections\, which require effective antibio tic alternatives to maintain bird health and production. In this project\, we search the bacteria with a special “weapon” called Type VI Secretion S ystem (T6SS) from chicken feces as potential probiotic candidates and test their antagonistic ability with the pathogen. We totally isolated over 3\ ,000 bacteria strains from 6 chicken samples and found some bacteria with anti-infective potential.\n\nThe implication of silica and titania particl es in food and their effect on human nutrition and health\nWut Hmone Phue\ , PhD candidate\, Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry\n\nWhen the inor ganic materials are used as food additives\, nano-size fragment particles are also included. That nano-size particles interacted with food matrices and changed the particles' biological identity and their effect on human n utrition and health\, including the allergenicity of food proteins.\n\nLet 's Talk Science is a national\, not-for-profit organization dedicated to p roviding 'hands-on\, minds-on' opportunities to engage youth in STEM. The  51ԹChapter of Let's Talk Science is a volunteer-based group of graduat e and undergraduate students from a wide range of faculties at 51ԹUniv ersity. \n\nThe Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative provides science communication training to Macdonald Campus researchers to help them make t heir science accessible by teaching them to further hone their content\, p hysical presence and voice to effectively engage a variety of audiences.\n DTSTART:20220428T140000Z DTEND:20220428T150000Z SUMMARY:Lister Science Chats: Nutrition & Human Health URL:/macoutreach/channels/event/lister-science-chats-n utrition-human-health-338002 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
