Positive Covid Case: Plant Science
by Susan Ness 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Importance: High Good morning, An individual who later tested positive for COVID-19 was on the Fort Garry Campus on December 13. The individual attended the Point (i.e. Plant Science Field Station BLDG) Room 113, Agriculture Building foyer outside Plant Science office (221 cor), as well as the second floor corridor of the Plant Science Building. Public health has investigated the case and has reached out to close contacts of the individual. If you were not contacted by Public Health and were in the above area on the above date, you can continue to self-monitor for symptoms. Should you develop symptoms use the Online COVID-19 Screening Tool<https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/> to determine if you should be tested. The spaces where the individual was present on campus have been appropriately cleaned and disinfected. All individuals in all UM indoor spaces are required to wear 3-ply reusable or disposable masks at all times. It is more important than ever that individuals who attend work or any on-campus activities in person strictly follow public health guidance including getting vaccinated, limiting close contacts outside of the home, practicing physical distancing, and staying home when sick, no matter how mild the symptoms. If you have symptoms that could be COVID-19, use the Online COVID-19 Screening Tool<https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/> to self-screen and get tested if that is what is recommended. Without the test there is no way to tell if the symptoms are from COVID-19 or another cause. Claudio

FW: Please forward to Grad Students and Staff in Plant Science
by Susan Ness 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

From: Martin Entz <M.Entz(a)umanitoba.ca> Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 11:55 AM To: Susan Ness <Susan.Ness(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: Please forward to Grad Students and Staff in Plant Science Dear Colleagues and Students, We are hearing a great deal about "Regenerative Agriculture", so I thought I would draw your attention to this very good perspective on the subject (thank you Susan for forwarding the message and the attached paper). The term "regenerative agriculture" comes from the organic movement and was first articulated by James Rodale of the Rodale Centre in 1983. However, it has been nuanced since and is making a comeback a dominant agricultural movement. The paper, which is attached, was written by Ken Giller of Wageningen University. Ken is very well-respected as an independent voice in agronomy and crop science; he has conducted most of his work in Europe and Africa. Best wishes, Martin Martin Entz, PhD, FCSA Professor of Cropping Systems and Natural Systems Agriculture Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada R3T 2N2. Ph 204 474-6077 I invite you to learn about our Glenlea long -term study. Here is our 2021 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O6WoKeNmBk&t=9s
