View this email in your browser IOF SEMINAR – November 18, 2022   Portrait of the marine biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic     During this presentation, Dr. Archambault will discuss misconceptions that circulate about marine biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic. For example, the Arctic is seen as an area with low marine biodiversity, but is that the case in Canada? Furthermore, climate change affects sea ice cover, and Arctic marine life depends on this environmental condition, but will the seafloor organisms also be affected?   Dr. Philippe Archaumbault Professor, Université Laval Friday, November 18, 2022 – 11:00am  – 12 noon Hybrid: In-person (TBC) and over Zoom     IOF community members (students, faculty and staff) do not need to RSVP for this seminar series.

Hello everyone,

 

Please note that the registration for the International Trainee Symposium in Agri-Food, Nutrition and Health – CCARM’s Rapid Fire Research Symposium is now open, IT’S FREE AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

 

The Symposium organized by Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine (CCARM) will occur January 19-20, 2023. 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM CST. This symposium comes at a time when there is a tremendous public interest in utilizing food to achieve health benefits, beyond just providing basic nutritional requirements.  The need for new information in this area is high, and it is, therefore, our pleasure to provide scientific sessions that will highlight the progress in this field.

Another major component of this meeting is education.  The promotion of trainees is critical to developing the next generation of investigators, and there is a strong need to develop greater capacity in this area.  Furthermore, this symposium is an opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to showcase their research and achievements and provide them with the opportunity to network and engage in discussions with other researchers and trainees in their field.

Register here before December 15, 2022.

 

Abstracts for oral presentation to be submitted here before November 15, 2022.

Thank you for your support,
