The MFRE seminar this week is:
Dylan Jones, Founder @ Coast Protein: Sustainable Cricket Protein Bars and Powders
Date & Time: November 17, 2-4pm
Venue: MCML 160
About the speaker: Dylan views small value-driven businesses as the catalyst for great change in the Canadian economy. He created the idea of Coast Protein to see food production and protein consumption to be completely disrupted. Dylan’s drive for a more sustainable future comes from his love for Canada’s winters and deep, deep powder snow.
Everyone is welcome!

Graduate Students interested in Teaching and Scholarship of Teaching may be interested in the following events at the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT):
Using Focus Groups to Study Teaching
Are you interested in doing research on your own teaching? CTLT is offering a workshop on using focus groups for graduate students from any discipline that are interested in using focus groups to better understand their teaching. This workshop will be especially useful if you are engaged in a SoTL (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning) or TAR (Teaching as Research) project, and have not run a focus group before. Register below:

Edu-Hacking for Grad Students Community of Practice
Teaching is an important part of many grad students’ present duties and future career plans. But insight into teaching and learning can not only enhance your teaching in the classroom; these same skills can be used to help bridge your specialized disciplinary understanding to new contexts. In this community, grad students who are interested in teaching and learning come together to discuss how those things work, and what can be done with those skills and insights at in your teaching, at the university, and beyond.

More information about our community of practice:
We are a group of social science graduate students in the Animal Welfare Program. We began meeting bi-weekly in 2016 to discuss qualitative research but would now like to expand our group to other departments at UBC. We envision a group that includes students, faculty, and staff, and meets regularly to discuss topics in qualitative research that further group members’ learning.
