Grapevine

Happy St. Paddy’s Day month! Admittedly, this is one of my favourite holidays of the year… Everyone’s Irish for a day and I can legitimately say “Kiss me, I’m 1/8th Irish”. Let’s see… other events to pay attention to. The inaugural CSEG Symposium will be happening on March 22nd and will feature a series of high profile speakers and will include the CSEG awards ceremonies. The talks will focus on the work of Dan Hampson and Brian Russell, this Symposium’s honorees. Tickets are limited and going fast… hint hint!
