Last week we went and it was really fun, even though it was really hot. It's a good idea to bring some water and sunglasses and/or a hat. We will meet on the East side of the Ellis building (where the ramp is) at 4:30 tomorrow and walk down to King's Park together. Hope you can all come out! Oh, and since you all work hard all the time, I thought I'd add this bit of fun in for everyone ;) Taryn * _ Academic Phrases _* (The phrase and what it actually means) "It has long been known..." (I didn't look up the original reference) "A definite trend is evident..." (These data are practically meaningless) "While it has not been possible to provide definite answers to the questions..." (An unsuccessful experiment but I still hope to get it published) “Three of the samples were chosen for detailed study” (The other results didn’t make any sense) “Typical results are shown” (This I the prettiest graph) “These results will be in a subsequent report” (I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded) “In my experience” (Once.) “In case after case” (Twice.) “In a series of cases” (Thrice.) “It is believed that” (I think) “It is generally believed that” (A couple of others think so, too) “Correct within an order of magnitude” (Wrong.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Grad Student Reminder Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:24:12 -0500 From: umwie243(a)cc.umanitoba.ca To: bev Godard <godardbd(a)cc.umanitoba.ca> Hi Everyone, This is just a friendly reminder to make sure you let the prof on patrol duty know if you are planning on working late. Also be sure to touch base with them when you leave for the night. This prof patrol is for all plant science grad students so if students are working late at CTC or any other building you should still let the prof on duty know so that they can stop by or call and check up on you throughout the evening. If you have a cell phone make sure you save the prof patrol number (223-4774) in your contacts as well as the security services phone number you can also use call the safewalk program and have someone walk you to you car. Don't hesitate to contact security services if you feel uncomfortable or see something suspicious. It is their job to check things out for you! You can call 555 from any campus phone #555 from a MTS or Rogers cell phone or 474-9341. Since we have all had a long and stressful couple of weeks its time for a pleasant event. We will be going for food and drinks at Tavern this Friday at 4:30. Come hang out and relax for a bit! I can hear the nachos calling my name :) Laura -- Bev Godard Secretary Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8563 Fax: (204) 474-7528 Bev_Godard(a)umanitoba.ca
