As the start of the 2023-24 academic year approaches, we are happy to announce the launch of new projects at the LRI. We have started a new YouTube initiative allowing members of the LRI to highlight their research and engage an audience in the form of short, easy-to-understand capsule interviews with the Director of the LRI Nafissa Ismail. Our first YouTube capsule featuring Dr. Miroslava Kavgic discussing topics of interest related to Plastic Free July with Dr. Ismail is available to watch now on YouTube. As we continue to flesh out the YouTube capsules, we plan to incorporate many interested members and external guests as a means to help develop the use of the YouTube channel, draw attention to the LRI, as well as to engage the public in an understandable and relatable way.
