Graduate Student Reminder

Standard

Field Work Safety Plans

As a reminder, Field Work Safety Plans are required by Safety and Risk Services to conduct all field work off campus. The field work safety plan  helps supervisors and their students who wish to conduct field work activities review operational activities to ensure effective controls are in place to prevent incidents. A general template can be found at: https://srs.ubc.ca/health-safety/safety-programs/risk-assessment-safe-work-procedure/?login and a template has been provided for an agricultural setting here: https://my.landfood.ubc.ca/new-to-lfs/field/. If you have any questions or require assistance with your plan, please contact: lfs.safety@ubc.ca or a member of your Local Safety Team.

Agronomy Garden Volunteering

The Agronomy Garden is a student led community garden located on Agronomy Road near the Landscape Architecture Annex (https://blogs.ubc.ca/agronomygarden/) . If you would like to participate in the garden, please reach out to agronomygarden@gmail.com to learn how you can start growing food on campus.

Upcoming ISRHML Webinar- advice for trainees interested in an academic career

I was hoping you could pass along the details of this upcoming webinar. I am working with the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML) trainee group, and we are hosting a webinar focused on careers in academia and advice for trainees.

Any non-ISRHML member can watch the webinar live but only trainee/full members will be able to access the later recording of the webinar.
