New stuff for the week of Oct 25

Hello fellow MBSA members,

It's a big week this week, were hosting our annual meet the proof night this Thursday (Oct 28) at 5pm in the BioSci/CCIS foyer. Come meet professors from many areas in Biological Sciences and Medical Genetics, find out about the current work there doing, and hear about research opportunities in their labs. We will be providing free pizza and refreshments for everyone attending so no one should go hungry.

We would also like anyone wishing to attend to email us at mbsa@ualberta.ca and RSVP so we know how many people to expect.

Lastly we could use a handful of volunteers to help us setup so if you’re willing, please email us and let us know if you can help with setting up and cleaning up afterwards.

Sincerely,

MBSA

Weekly update for Oct 4 to 8

Here's a quick update on what's happening this week.

1) Our first general meeting will be held this Wednesday (Oct 6) at 3:30pm in the Bio-Sci cafeteria. It will give us a chance to meet everyone, chat, and for all of you to voice your opinions about what you would like to gain from joining MBSA. We'll try to keep it short and sweet because we know everyone is busy. For those that want to stick around after, there will be a couple of us doing study groups for some of the GENET courses.

2) We are meeting with professors this Tuesday to discuss setting the date for Meet the Prof night. More news to come next week!

If you have any questions or suggestions please email us at mbsa@ualberta.ca

Have a good week everyone!
