Hi Fellow Grad Students

    1. This is a reminder that February 24 is the deadline for oral presentation abstracts and title submissions for the 33rd annual plant science graduate student symposium in Saskatoon. Here is the abstract submission format requirement: (http://agbio.usask.ca/plscgradsymposium/Registration/custom-form1.php) Again, I strongly encourage you to consider attending this symposium. 

    2. We are planning to order our own polo shirts. Each polo shirt will have two embroidered logos (Plant Science logo on the left breast and the UofM official logo on the right sleeve) and cost $32.60.  The color will be navy blue. In order to receive polo shirts before Mar 24th, students need to give me <liny3457@myumanitoba.ca> or Laura <laura.dawn.marie@gmail.com>their order including size and the money. 

Here is the link for different colors and the size scale of polo shirts:

--For females, the style # is 78181 https://www.alphabroder.ca/cgi-bin/online/webshr/prod-labeldtl.w?sr=78181&currentColor=3Z

--For males, the style # is 88181 https://www.alphabroder.ca/cgi-bin/online/webshr/prod-labeldtl.w?sr=88181&currentColor=4M

FYI: the website price ($19.98) is the Polo shirt without any logos. 

   3. Festival du Voyageur (https://festivalvoyageur.mb.ca/en/) is happening from Feb 17 to Feb 26. It will be a casual event for PSGSA. A few students will go there around 11:30. If you are coming later, you can text me to meet up with us (204-963-5329). Aanother group might go on the next Saturday. Feel free to come either one or both.
