As a forensic entomology lab manager at @SFU, Vienna Lam's research in aquatic deaths helps investigators and the bereaved find closure.

Science doesn't have to be spooky! I used to worry that talking about a grim subject like decomposition. If you're in that boat, try dioramas. Here are two that I made with Lego to help communicate my aquatic decomposition research to people of all ages.

Meet Taiga! He's one of the keenest students I've ever met, and a budding entomologist. Since he was 10, he's been in touch with me and our lab. Not only is he a fast learner, he is also a peer model, and made some cool worksheets to get even younger kids excited about insects.

Little did we know, kids that could envision themselves as superhero scientists would be needed more now than ever!

Last year, my friends and I organized two Superhero Science Days for young kids, as part of the Burnaby Festival of Learning and Science Literacy Week in Surrey Public Library.

Through the Science World's Scientists and Innovators in the Schools program, we're able to share our love of science around the province.

The only way we're going to combat climate change and other global crises is if the next generation of kids embrace STEM. Nerds, unite!

From looking at how diseases present themselves in our skeletal record to trying to create better measures of how old someone is, there's actually a lot of variety. You'll never get bored - that's for sure!

Something about my field (forensic anthropology) that most people don't know is that there are tons of subdisciplines.

I truly believe that diversity at every intersection will strengthen every work sector including queer representation. The more voices that can be heard at the table, the more solutions-based thinking we can all benefit from.

When you want to do research in forensic taphonomy, you just might find yourself knee deep in snow in the great Canadian wilderness!

Sometimes, my research will take me to interesting places... like a mangrove swamp in the Kingdom of Tonga!

Sometimes, my research will take me to interesting places... like on a military research vessel in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!

My research is all about aquatic deaths - detection, recovery, and repatriation. I'm also interested in drowning prevention. Did you know that the @WHO named drowning one of the leading preventable killers in their 2015 Global Report on Drowning?

When we have cases come up, I'm also there to help receive and track our incoming evidence.
