I want to remind you of the *Plant Science Graduate Student Symposium* that will be taking place at *North Dakota State University between March 12th and 13th*. I have attached the invitation and the registration for this event. It would be great if we could all attend this event. It is a great opportunity to present your research and have some fun with your fellow students! The PSGSA will organize travel and accommodation in Fargo. In past years, the price of travel has been covered by the department. As for accommodation, the PSGSA will determine if we can cover some of the cost, but your supervisor can also provide some funding, so this event will be of little or no cost. We will keep you posted in the new year about price. * If you are interested in going, make sure you have the proper documents for crossing the border.* Keep in mind the following deadlines: *Friday, January 8th, 2010- Registration Deadline* Friday, February 5th, 2010- Abstract Deadline Please let me know if you have any questions! Let's try to round up as many people as possible!
