Hello!

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! More information is available at our website http://uregina.ca/PUBS/.
