Research Science Live has their biology experiment planted and our observations have begun.... Follow us to learn more about the effects of Gamma radiation on the growth of pea plants in the coming weeks!

To all of our DRSA-ers: It is with regret that we announce that due to a lack of funding which would have led to unacceptable compromises in the delivery of the program, Summer Science Immersion has been suspended for 2016. Our staff and Board of Directors are optimistic that the program will resume in the future, and in the meantime we will be restructuring the program’s financing and delivery. The DRSA will remain open during the restructuring, and we will continue to offer our Research Science Live program, and to operate the Renfrew County Regional Science and Technology Fair and the Science Olympics.
