Ontario Biology Day 2016

Twenty four undergraduate UTM biology students participated at Ontario Biology Day (OBD) this weekend. Our students did a great job showcasing their research at this undergraduate conference! Anneka Hafeez received an award for best interdisciplinary biology presentation based on her work on developmental origin of PM4 neutrons in the optic lobe of Drosophila in Dr. Erclik’s lab. Monika Kania and Vikram Paul received an award for the best overall science education presentation for their work on inquiry-based labs for teaching plant science with Dr. Steven Chatfield.

Thanks to Tim Westwood, Christoph Richter, Steven Chatfield, Fiona Rawle, Sanja Hinic-Frlog and students who were there to support all UTM presenters at OBD2016!
