PUBS update

Hi,

This update is for those who've been enthusiastically following my PUBS post (hope there're some!). My abstract has been accepted and scheduled for presentation on 23 February 2007 at the University of Regina. Yesterday George (my supervisor) helped me a lot in giving ideas about the poster design. Sohail (PhD Candidate, George's lab) gave me a template for the poster. And did I tell you Dinka (MSc candidate) is giving Sohail (and his family) and me a ride to and fro Regina? Thanks Sohail, Dinka and George. Kelly and Zafir are taking an Ag-Canada car. I'm excited about the trip and the symp.

Cya soon.
