LMPSU Fall Academic Seminar & Sushi Night

2009-11-09T00:42:00.001-08:00

Date: Friday, November 20th
Time: 4-7p.m.
Location: MS3171

The academic seminar will feature Dr. Paul Hamel, a professor with LMP and the director of the Health Studies program. He will be discussing his research on lung cancer, and how he incorporates into it a social medicine perspective.

Following Dr. Hamel's talk, we will be hosting the annual Make-Your-Own-Sushi night - this is our most popular event, and has attained semi-mythical status among our life science compatriots. So come on out, meet your classmates and student union, and enjoy some great food!

LMPSU Summer Research Seminar

2009-11-09T00:41:00.001-08:00

Date: Wednesday, November 18th
Time: 4-5p.m.
Location: MS3171

Are you interested in working in a lab this summer, but aren't sure how to find one of those elusive summer studentships? The Summer Research Seminar will provide tips on the various research programs available on and around campus. Dr. Opas, the coordinator of the LMP Summer Research Program will talk about summer research in the LMP department.

Plans for the website

2009-10-23T23:59:00.000-07:00

I've received some helpful feedback about the website. Some of you are concerned that this website does not emphasize enough what LMP is about to people who might stumble upon it, and should serve more of an information portal role along with the news role it is used for right now. I agree with these concerns, and have added links to the old website as a temporary solution to those who want to know more about LMP.

As for long term plans, the blog will be part of the overall website, but only used for news, upcoming events, and feedback -- it simply lacks the customizability to be used for anything else, but the fact that you can easily upload photos, edit news items, create polls, etc, is a big plus. I am trying to combine the overall layout of the old website with an easy-to-edit blog format for the news section--after midterms are done :).

LMPSU Summer Research Seminar - Preliminary Info

2009-10-23T22:26:00.000-07:00

From Alex:

Hi all,

Looks like we are good to go for the Research Seminar on Wednesday November 18th from 4-5p.m. We have Dr. Opas confirmed as a speaker and most of you should be able to attend. In addition to Dr. Opas talking about the LMP Summer Research Program, I will give a brief talk on other research opportunities at U of T, and I am hoping that we can get someone who has participated in the LMP Summer Research Program to talk about his/her experience. If any of you participated in this program and are available and willing to talk about your experience at this event (~15 minute talk, ~5 minutes of questions) please let me know asap.

Date Needed for Upcoming LMPSU Academic Seminar and Sushi night

2009-10-23T22:22:00.000-07:00
