Certainly today more than ever, lots of the issues that people will be asked to make determinations about are based in science and technology.  And they are going to need to make those decisions based on understanding and knowledge, rather than on emotion.   I think it&#8217;s really important to build that science literacy in our entire population.  So it encourages people to think in a scientific way.  To look at how scientists have thought about issues. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBrenda Crickmore says these hands on galleries also spark young minds to think about science as a career.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02013-08-08<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The <b>Syncrude Environment Gallery<\/b> at the Telus World of Science in Edmonton boasts lots of interesting displays and hands on activities for young and old.
