Written by Wendy Mok   
Tuesday, 27 October 2009

On September 21st to 24th, a group of us traveled to Mont Orford, PQ to attend the 10th Annual RiboClub Opening Session. This year’s invited speakers included Dr. Ronald Breaker (the Godfather of Riboswitches), Dr. Joan Steitz, Dr. Alexander Rich, along with Nobel laureates Drs. Philip Sharp, Jack Szostak, and Tom Steitz. At the poster competition, three of our lab members- Casey Fowler, Simon McManus, and Bobbijo Sawchyn- were nominated as the top ten poster presenters. The evening finished with Bobbijo winning one of the best poster prizes. Congratulations, Bobbi!

We had plenty of great ideas proposed during our science sessions, and also talked about the careers of many reknowned scientists. During our downtime, we were able to partake in a number of different activities such as beach volleyball, tennis, hiking, and swimming. Thank you Dr. Li for a fantastic & extremely memorable week!

golf.jpggolf_2.jpgEach year, the Li lab organizes a golf tournament at Chedoke Civic Golf Course for the members of the Biochemistry department here at McMaster. On August 14th, we had 8 teams of 4 participating in the tournament which made for the highest attendance of all 3 years. Afterwards, participants met at the Phoenix for a reception where prizes from our sponsors were distributed (donations were given from VWR, Bio-Rad, IDT, and GE Healthcare). All in all, it was a great day & are already looking forward to next year.
