This is a message from the Department —- Date: Saturday, January 9th, 2010 from 9:30 am – 2:30 pm Hey MBP! We’re looking for students from both streams to visit classes on UofT campus to promote the Open House with short in-class announcements leading up to the January 9th annual event. We also need help posting flyers around campus. If you’re able to help out for a few hours, please contact Alison <alison.aiken (at) utoronto.ca> and let her know which day you’re available. Thanks! —
With the Winter Olympics a few weeks away there is an escalating anticipation and excitement in the air (Oh yes the holidays are approaching too). Wikipedia tells us that the torch is “Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics”. Although, we do not promote theft, we definitely like flames and what they represent and we wish Melissa a successful torch relay. Melissa has also agreed to write a post on MBPGSU.ca to talk about her experience. You can follow her here: http://www.ctvolympics.ca/torch/follow-torch/index.html Sunday December 20th at 9:30am Make us proud!
Our website was hacked! Yes, we were attacked by a nasty virus able to hide within our website invisible links to “bad” websites (whatever that means). The result was that “Big brother Google” blocked our beloved MBP site and most people were unable to access our invaluable content. But now we are back and we have recovered from this terrible pandemic: hopefully we’ll never have to deal with this again. In the few days that we’ve been out of commission a bunch of interesting things happened in our department and all around us: 1. There was the Annual Christmas Luncheon organized by Imaging Research group 2. We had the fantastic MBP Annual MBP Holiday Wine & Cheese 3. Toronto “finally” got snow 4. Tiger Woods….err… enough of that already! 5. 30% of Ontario residents received H1N1 vaccination (link) More fantastic news/events/posts to come….
Title: THE ANNUAL MEDICAL BIOPHYSICS HOLIDAY WINE & CHEESE Time: Wednesday, December 16, 5 – 10 PM Students, postdocs, and faculty are welcome to partake of free food, drinks, and raffle prizes. SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO
Do you have to present at an upcoming scientific conference? Are you just shaking at the thought of it? Do not worry, our colleagues at the graduate school of Arizona State University share their tips for giving killer presentations as a grad student in their series “Strategies for Success“. Although, these tips are meant for graduate students, I believe that some of these tips could be beneficial for everyone, including supervisors (except the ones in our department of course!) To Listen to the full audio click here or:[audio:Nuts-and-Bolts-of-Presentations-Dr.-Linda-Vaughan-Nutrition.mp3] These are in summary some of the Do’s when undertaking this endeavor: 1.
