πŸŽ‰ Welcome to the 21st Annual Benjamin Schachter Memorial Lecture! πŸŽ“

Join us for an evening of inspiration, connection, and community at the beautiful Hart House Music Room at the University of Toronto.

Hear from an incredible panel of alumni as they share their career paths, transitions beyond academia, and reflections on the challenges and opportunities along the way. Whether you're a student, postdoc, or faculty member, this is a great opportunity to gain insight into where a biochemistry degree can take you, and connect with those who’ve navigated it.

✨ Honoring the legacy of Dr. Benjamin Schachter, this event brings our community together to celebrate curiosity, discovery, and the diverse paths that follow.

Important Information: Please plan to arrive 15–30 minutes early, as the lecture will begin promptly at 5:30 PM. Space is limited, and as this is a free event with dinner provided, we kindly ask that you cancel your ticket if you are no longer able to attend so that others may join.
