Imagine a convention or conference where all the speakers have gotten sick and random audience members have to step up, improvising their way through each slide. That a good indication of what you’ll experience at Whose Presentation Is It Anyway?

A round of ap-paws for our Nerd Nite 36 Nerders! Thanks to Catherine 🐕, Kate 🚴‍♂️, and David 🐈‍⬛

We learnt about that dogs are incredibly connected to humans and how they could detect different conditions (whether they’re trained to do so or not); how climate action is about building community and that you could get some really cool badges if you participate; and that female tomcats are called queens👑 and that hyenas have weird reproductive systems.

Shoutout to epic tails, ecology action centre, Halifact, and (animal) s*x ed!

Do our dogs really know when we’re unwell?
Catherine Reeve is a dog trainer, researcher, and unapologetic dog nerd with a special interest in canine behaviour and the science of the human–animal bond. She’s passionate about translating research into real-world insights about how dogs think, feel, and connect with their people.

Transforming Community through Climate Action: The Climate Commitment Badge Program
Kate works for the Ecology Action Centre, collaborating with HalifACT and other community groups to promote climate action in the HRM. She comes from a public library and adult education background and also ran a subsistence farm in the Cape Breton hills for over 20 years. She believes that climate action can be both joyful and transformative.
