It’s getting close to that time of year when The University of British Columbia hosts a week-long celebrate research week at UBC’s Vancouver campus and other locations in and around Vancouver.

Are you planning on attending and/or presenting your scholarly research or innovative research dissemination tool that week? Either way, you are likely anticipating those expert lectures on timely topics by members of the UBC community (faculty, students, and invited guest speakers).
