Research Day and Awards Night June 2014 Page 3 This year we tried out a new format and held Research Day on one day and then held Awards Night on Friday night. As usual, a great display of research put on by our students, residents, fellows, post-docs. Research Day was rainy, but the celebrations the next night were rewarded with amazing sunny weather. The Research Day organizers, Dr. Pascal Bernatchez and Dr. Don Griesdale did an amazing job as always. They are happy to hear any suggestions for changes and improvements to the format of this highlight of our academic year.
