Holiday Potluck! _
Just a quick reminder that the plant science grad students holiday
potluck is *this monday* (December 13th) at noon! Come join us for lots
of good food and celebrate the end of the semester :)
Please keep in mind that we have students with allergies so please
ensure that items are nut and shellfish free! We also have several
vegetarian students so some meat free dishes would be great!
Hope to see you all there!
Laura
*Morrison Travel Award for Graduate Students in Plant Science*
Dr. Ian N. Morrison joined the Department of Plant Science at the
University of Manitoba in 1976 as a weed scientist and later served as
Head from 1989 to 1996.His research led to the development of new tools
and methods for weed control and crop protection for western Canadian
producers.In the mid-1980's, he worked as an oilseed agronomist in
Pakistan.Dr. Morrison moved to the University of Alberta in 1996 to
become Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry and Home
Economics.He touched the lives of over 20 graduate students and hundreds

Graduate Student Fellowships:
Canada's Arctic Foreign Policy Deadline for application: January 6, 2011
The Northern Governance Thematic Network of the University of the
Arctic, with support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade Canada, is pleased to announce 10 available
fellowships for graduate students, valued at $5,000 each.
Research papers will focus on one of the following two areas:
1) Addressing the rising interest in the Arctic region from non-Arctic
states.
* How are non-Arctic states approaching Arctic issues? (e.g. China,
Japan, Argentina, India, South Korea, UK, Netherlands, Germany)
* What have they done or are they doing that is directly relevant to
the Arctic?
* What capabilities do they have that they could contribute to the
work of Arctic States?
* What are their interests? (e.g. political, commercial, scientific)
* How should Canada engage with these emerging players?
* To what extent?
* What are the benefits (to Canada and to Northerners)?
* What are the pitfalls (for Canada and for Northerners)?
2) Assessing readiness of industry for increased shipping in the North.
* What are the industry's perspectives on potential for shipping?
* How advanced is the industry in preparing for shipping in the
North? What more remains to be done?
* How do preparations in North America compare to elsewhere?
* What does the industry see as the key obstacle to shipping in the
North?
* What does this imply for Arctic States from a policy perspective?
* What strategies are other Arctic States developing or have
developed that Canada could learn from?
* What are the "tourism" dimensions?
Qualified applicants must:
* be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada;
* be actively pursuing a graduate degree (Master's, Ph.D. or
equivalent) in circumpolar and/or northern research;
* be in good academic standing, as determined by your university;
* submit a completed application form;
* submit a 1 page paper proposal/abstract;
* submit a letter of appraisal from a supervisor.
Successful applicants will be notified by *Friday, January 14, 2011*.
Final papers are due *March 11, 2011*, must be submitted in *English or
