Join us Friday, October 10 at 5:00 pm for the first Graduate Student Pub at the Wave! It’s been a long week. You’ve been working hard. Come out and meet some of the other graduate students on campus who make this place tick. Come for the camaraderie, stay for the Three Minute Thesis Open Mic! 3MT is an international competition where graduate students deliver lay-summaries of their research in less than three minutes. It’s fast past, hectic, and a lot of fun. We’ll be participating in the formal competition this spring, but if you want a bit of practice, we’ll give you a shot! If you’d like to participate, email datkinson@upei.ca. We’ll start the competition around 6:00 pm. We’ll supply some great prizes! The Graduate Student Pub is organized by the UPEISU, the UPEI Graduate Student Association, and UPEI’s Office of Graduate Studies. For more information, contact Dave Atkinson, Research Communications, 902-620-5117

Want to attend the virtual classroom event being held by The David Suzuki Foundation, the National Film Board of Canada, and Humber College on the intersection of food equity and environmental justice? A live feed will be set-up for UPEI students, staff, and faculty in KC Irving Chemistry Centre, Room 104 at 1:00 pm (until 2:30 pm) on Monday, October 6. A panel discussion, led by Dr. David Suzuki, and streaming live from Humber to classrooms across the country, will examine the impact of modern farming practices on our health, land, and food security. Suzuki will be joined by panelists J.B. MacKinnon, co-author of the Canadian best-seller "The 100-Mile Diet," and Utcha Sawyers, from Food Share Toronto to discuss what we can do as individuals and as a nation to ensure that every person has the basic ingredients for a life of health and dignity. The event also features poet Tanya Davis, whose compelling poem is the backdrop for the NFB film "Island Green," a look at conventional and organic farming on Prince Edward Island. The film is the catalyst for the panel discussion. A screening of the 20-minute film "Island Green" will precede the live event at 12:30 pm and, if there is interest, will also follow the event at 2:30 pm.
