LMPSU Fall Academic Seminar & Sushi Night

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!

Plans for the website

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

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

Due to conflicts with 3rd year exams, we need to pick a new date for this, do you guys prefer November the 20th or the 27th? (Poll is on the side)
