Why do geese honk?

Ever wondered why geese honk when they fly overhead? Or whether identical twins are actually identical? Or why the Monarch butterfly bothers to come back to Canada after wintering in Mexico?

Wonder no more. Concordians can get the answers to these questions and more when CBC’s “Quirks & Quarks Question Roadshow” visits the university on May 25.

Among the scientists who’ll be providing answers will be David Walsh, a professor from Concordia's Department of Biology. He'll answer the intriguing question: "Where did viruses come from? Did they evolve from living cells, or come before them?"

And Dylan Fraser, also a professor in Concordia's Department of Biology, will be on hand to explain where all the freshwater fish came from.

Just how did Canada end up with all the same species in its isolated lakes?

Concordians are invited to join host Bob McDonald for the brain-teasing, audience-pleasing, Google-seizing “Quirks & Quarks Question Roadshow.”

The event begins at 7 p.m. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be entertained and informed.
