This symposium is intented to bring plant science graggies from UofM, UofS and NDSU together to share their results, renew old friendships and forge new ones. With the success of the unprecedented PSGSS 2006, I am sure we can expect a fantastic couple days down south. This is a preliminary message to invite all UofM plant science graggies to attend and present (oral presentations only!) at this year's meeting. Anyone interested in attending should reply to me (umbelmon(a)cc.umanitoba.ca) ASAP ie. before friday dec 8. Oh yeah, did i mention that the cost to attend the symposium will be next to nothing for all presenting? more details to come....

[Fwd: Summer scholarships on global change issues]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Summer scholarships on global change issues Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 08:39:17 -0600 From: umbagava(a)cc.umanitoba.ca To: godardbd(a)cc.umanitoba.ca Hi Bev, Please forward this to all graduate students in plant science. Thank you! Muthu From: Julia Olmstead <jeo(a)iastate.edu> Date: 3 nov. 2006 15:12 Subject: [nsa-fellows] Fwd: For Graduate Students interested in Global Change - IIASA To: NSA-Fellows(a)lists.landinstitute.org To: IIASA Government Liaisons Dear Colleague, I am writing to ask for your help in publicizing an excellent summer opportunity for graduate students interested in relating their work to global change issues. The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), located just outside Vienna, Austria, each year sponsors a fellowship program for graduate students who are studying in fields relevant to IIASA's work on global change issues. About 50-60 graduate students from around the world spend the summer working closely with IIASA senior researchers, on projects relevant to each student's thesis topic. They end the summer with an international network of colleagues interested in various aspects of global change issues, and often have produced a paper that can be published. The application deadline for the 2007 YSSP Program is January 15, 2007 and we want to spread the word about this great opportunity as widely as possible. Please help by forwarding the announcement to as many appropriate colleagues, graduate students, graduate department secretaries, career service departments, and listservers as possible, and post the flyer anywhere you think a potential applicant might see it. The YSSP program is unlike any other in offering graduate students in a broad range of natural and social science, mathematical, and engineering fields an opportunity to work in an international setting on projects that allow them to explore the policy implications of their work. IIASA's projects all look at one or another aspect of global change. However, they range from very technical systems modeling work in the Dynamic Systems program and mathematical ecology in Evolution and Ecology, to integration of policy, economics, and demography in the Population Program and the Risk and Vulnerability Program -- in addition to natural science-based projects like Forestry and Land Use. Moreover, there are energy and technology modeling programs, and the Atmospheric Pollution Program, whose models have been used in air pollution treaty negotiations in Europe and Asia. So -- interested students might come from earth and atmospheric sciences, policy and technology programs, economics and management programs, political science, biology, geography, physics, civil engineering, applied math, demography, fisheries, international relations, energy and environmental studies, and probably others that I'm not thinking of. The attached brochure (in Word) is suitable for posting; the text of the Word file is appended below the signature, so you can just cut and paste it into email messages. In addition, I'm attaching a page from the January 2004 Nature Magazine "Naturejobs" section that features a short article on a 2004 YSSP participant. And an October 13, 2006 Science profile of IIASA researcher Brian O'Neill can be accessed from the NMO website, http://www7.nationalacademies.org/usnc-iiasa/index.html. We would very much appreciate anything you can do to help get the word out. Please let me know if you have any questions. Very truly yours, Maggie Goud Collins Margaret R.

The Prairie Universities Biological Symposium (PUBS) is an annual conference held by university students at a designated prairie university. This long-standing tradition started at the University of Manitoba 40 years ago and has continued to provide an excellent forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their research to their peers. PUBS 2007 – the 41st annual conference – will be held February 22-24, 2007 at the University of Regina. Conference subject areas include molecular biology, microbiology, physiology, botany, zoology, ecology, paleobiology, conservation biology, environmental biology, and many more. Students conducting research in related disciplines such as health sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, engineering, geography, geology, and kinesiology are also welcome. This conference is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate, honours, and graduate students to network with other researchers, labs, and universities. It is a chance to meet other students studying in their field and present their research in a relaxed setting. Students receive recognition for their work, expand their knowledge, and enhance their communication & interpersonal skills. PUBS is also a fun social event and a chance to meet new people. Please encourage your undergraduate, honours, and graduate students to attend. We hope to see many University of Manitoba students at the conference!
