5 à 7 Research Talks

Cinq à Sept Research Talks showcase the powerful, personal stories behind the groundbreaking health research happening at Queen’s University.

The series spotlights innovative research with engaging, TED-style talks in front of an audience of students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members. Talented researchers headline each Cinq à Sept – offering a unique, intimate view into the passions and goals that drive their work.

Cinq à Sept is inspired by the French tradition of gathering at the end of the workday. A reception following each Research Talk sparks connection and collaboration – an integral component of the new Strategic Plan for Health Sciences: Radical Collaboration for a Healthier World.

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

Dr. Adam Szulewski

Dr. Catherine Donnelly

Associate Professor, School of Rehabilitation Therapy and Department of Family Medicine

We often take the idea of community—and the health benefits of belonging to one—for granted.

“Only the lucky survive cardiac arrest”

Friday, March 24, 2023

Dr. Steven Brooks

Associate Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine

As an ER physician and scientist, Dr. Steven Brooks knows that every second counts when trying to save someone’s life—especially during a cardiac event. His research examines what happens in an emergency before someone reaches the hospital, and how to improve the odds of survival so it’s not largely based on luck. In his talk, you’ll learn about new strategies and technology that can provide fast, ready access to life-saving resuscitation and defibrillation for everyone.
