The project was developed by a couple of UBC students and professors who had the vision of getting some really cool students at UBC to present a talk about issues they found really interesting and important.  There are a 9 students from difference programs\/faculties speaking at the event, and if you&#8217;re interested in checking it out, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.terry.ubc.ca\/terrytalks\/\">http:\/\/www.terry.ubc.ca\/terrytalks\/<\/a> !  You will find a neat video there introducing the speakers, and additional information about the event.<\/p>\n<p>In the case that you&#8217;re lazy, however, and don&#8217;t want to click on the link (I will admit, I often do this), here&#8217;s a summary:<\/p>\n<p>Who (attending): you!<br \/>    (speaking): awesome people!<\/p>\n<p>Where: Life Science Centre, LSC1 (lecture hall) | West Atrium (exhibits)<br \/>       2350 Health Sciences Mall<br \/>       University of British Columbia (just in case- this is the Vancouver campus)<\/p>\n<p>When: Saturday, November 22, 2008 from 9:00 AM &#8211; 5:00 PM (that&#8217;s not this upcoming weekend, but the weekend after that)<\/p>\n<p>How (much): free!  AND you get a free lunch.  That&#8217;s pretty hard to say &#8220;no&#8221; to.<\/p>\n<p>Why: because receiving an education is more than sitting in a lecture or a lab, and should involve your getting acquainted with some ideas out there!  Plus, these people are really cool (I know two of them personally, and they&#8217;re awesome and have interesting things to say), and have put a lot of effort in trying to put on a good presentation for you, so it would be really nice of you all to come out! :)<\/p>\n<p>If you have any more questions, visit the website!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and if you&#8217;re a science student looking for an elective- ASIC 200 is amazing and is run by the profs who were involved in making the Terry Talks happen- I took it last year and it&#8217;s been the best course I&#8217;ve taken so far at UBC, so I would highly recommend it.  I know it&#8217;s a shameless plug, but seriously- aMAZing.  So get in while (or if) you still can!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming soon to the Life Science Centre, LSC1, near you- Terry Talks!
