DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stephen Sekula (SNOLAB. Queen's University\, and Lau

 nd Science Institute (SuSi) Lecture Program is a skills development and kn
 owledge transfer initiative focused on academic lectures\, workshops\, and
  activities delivered by leading experts in their fields. In addition to a
 cademic programming\, participants will have access to professional develo
 pment opportunities. Over the years\, topics have included the dark cosmos
 \, neutrino science\, and quantum technology\, among others.\nThe program 
 launched in 2024 and had a very successful kickoff year. We are excited to
  continue the program for a third year and welcome participants to SNOLAB!
 \nStructure\nThe lecture series is aimed at graduate students (MSc and PhD
  level) and post-doctoral researchers\, but other participants are welcome
 . SuSi will enhance the SNOLAB research experience and contribute to an ex
 citing summer. Participants will be offered 3-5 lectures in every two-week
  period and otherwise have time to work on projects at SNOLAB.\nThere is a
  limited availability of seats in the program. The process for applying is
  as follows:\n\nDecember-March: Submit an application of interest in the p
