Subject: PLNT 7250 Poster Presentations
PLNT 7250 students will be presenting their posters outside of Room 218 beginning the week of March 25. These posters will highlight the work of the MSc. program research of the students. Please take time to read about the work of our MSc students. We are planning for this to become an annual event for this class.
Therefore, as previously requested, all materials posted on the boards outside of Room 218 and along the hallway to Room 212 need to be removed by Friday March 22, 2024. Any materials left will be removed and disposed of after March 22.
Thank you for your assistance.

Someone was in the basement lunchroom sometime yesterday/last night, used cannabis (residue cannabis and ash left on a dinner plate), ate food from the fridge, and took the food from Eppie's food storage bin.
I will report the incident to Security Services.
Please keep the basement lunchroom door locked.
Keep yourself safe.
Thank you,
Bev

Subject: Please send to Plant Science staff and students
Hi Bev,
Please send this copy of my seminar pdf to all faculty, research associates/postdocs, grad students and technicians in Plant Science. Thanks!
To my Plant Science colleagues: Here are the slides from my seminar presentation yesterday. I covered a significant amount of literature, and this pdf provides details on those references in case you might want to follow up. Thanks again for your interest. The presentation demonstrates that I see Plant Science is a critical part of a climate smart food security solution with endless opportunities for new knowledge creation. But bringing Plant Science into the larger global discussion on environment and food security requires more systems thinking and a greater awareness of other processes (where knowledge is also evolving) within the agricultural system.
Best wishes - and I am always open to further discussion,
Martin
