Also, next TEA meeting by Zoom will be the annual student symposium:

STUDENT SYMPOSIUM

We have a couple of speakers confirmed but have room for a few more. We normally aim for 6-8 talks. Graduate students, senior undergraduates and postdoctoral fellows are eligible to present a talk about their work with insects or arachnids (no posters this year). Students interested in participating should contact Dr. David Beresford, Academic Coordinator of the symposium at davidbe...@trentu.ca with a provisional title by March 8. Talks will be limited to 12 minutes plus 3 minutes for questions. Abstracts of the talks (250 words) will be published in the TEA newsletter Ontario Insects. Please note the TEA awards a $800 research grant annually (the Glenn Richardson Award) to a student at an Ontario university studying insects or arachnids. An award of $500. for excellence in science writing will be awarded thanks to a donation from an anonymous donor.

Guests can request a Zoom link by sending an email to: t...@torontomail.com.
