Halifax Harbour
How one conference left a lasting legacy in Halifax

In the early 2000s, Halifax, Nova Scotia embarked on an ambitious quest to grow its life sciences ecosystem across a span of sub-sectors — including neuroscience. Nestled along the east coast of Canada, the harbour city had all the ingredients for a thriving sector: an impressive track record in brain research, world-leading healthcare facilities and vibrant post-secondary institutions, supportive government infrastructure, along with an exceptional talent pool.

Cultivating a memorable soil science conference

Soil may not be top of mind — but this precious resource that lies beneath our feet is fundamental to our lives. It produces virtually all of the food we eat. It filters our water. It’s home to a quarter of all living species. Yet, climate change continues to have a catastrophic impact on its health. Every five seconds, the equivalent of one soccer field of soil is eroded. And by 2050, it’s estimated that a staggering 90 per cent of the Earth’s topsoil could be degraded.
