The 1st Annual U of L Biology Graduate Research Symposium was a rousing success! The poster sessions and talks were well attended and enjoyed by all. Dr. Rood wrapped up the symposium with a thought provoking journey through three decades of research. Awards for posters went to Krysty Munns (1st), Eddie Sottie (2nd) and Rachael Adams (honourable mention). Oral presentation award winners were Corrine Sidler (1st) and Kim Dohms (2nd). An event of this calibre is only possible through the hard work of many volunteers. Special thanks go out to Theresa Burg, Margaret Cook, Roy Golsteyn, Tony Russell, Andy Hudson, Ashley Moore, Mohammed Rahavi and Melissa Thomson for organizing the event.  We also thank Rob Laird, Drew Rendall and Jim Thomas for judging the oral presentations, and Jay Gedir, Kevin Judge and Stefan Kienzle for serving as poster judges. Thanks also go out to Kim Dohms, Andy Hudson, Nicole Pilgrim and Melissa Thomson for chairing the sessions and Andrii Bilichak, Kim Dohms, Andy Hudson, Soba Kalutha, Aki Matsuoka, Krysty Munns, Nicole Pilgrim and Brad van Paridon for assisting on the day of the symposium.
