I am writing to inquire whether any of you might have a PhD candidate close to finishing who would be looking for a post-doc in wheat breeding. It appears we will be looking to fill Doug Brown?s position within the next 6 months or so. He has not yet given a firm date but he has suggested he will not be going to winter nursery in February. Neither Steve Fox nor I can take on yet another breeding program but as the only AAFC CPS wheat program in western Canada, we must had some one to take on the research responsibilities. A post-doc who is interested in cereal breeding seems to be the most expedient way to address the need in the short term. I look forward to hearing from you or one of your students. I wish you all the best with your spring breeding challenges.

Too often we are confronted with situations where we are forced to sacrifice our health in order to keep our jobs. Whether it is working too-long hours, missing out on family time, or encountering harassment or physical hazards, men and women may face different health sacrifices and risks when it comes to work. Women, for example, tend to hide their health problems because they are often perceived as resulting from weakness or unfitness for work, while men may be more often placed in dangerous situations under the assumption that they can "take it". To contribute to health in the workplace, it becomes necessary to consider the biological and social differences between men and women. What can we do to protect the health of all workers? Come join us in a discussion with experts who are taking action on this issue. * L'Île Noire Pub, 1649 rue St-Denis, Montreal, Metro Berri-UQAM * This event is free, but space is limited.
