R workshop at Genomes to Biomes meeting

Fifty-two graduate students and academics from 23 universities and institutions across Canada participated in the R workshop held at the Genomes to/aux Biomes meeting Montreal on 25 May, 2014.

Stable isotope ecology course

Bjoern Wissel teaches 12 graduate students from across North America, during a week-long “Stable Isotope Ecology” course at the University of Regina. CIEE has co-funded this course several times.

WORKSHOP:  building ally skills

CIEE sponsored a workshop on building ally skills at PEEC 2021 led by Living Data Project Post-Doctoral Fellow, Ellen Bledsoe (University of Regina) and co-facilitators Hao Ye (University of Florida), Molly Phillips (University of Florida), and Jessica Kennedy (University of BC). This workshop introduced  the concepts behind allyship and ally skills as a framework for building inclusive, equitable, and accessible workplaces in STEM and beyond. PEEC is an annual conference where early-career scientists gather, exchange ideas and seek collaborations with peers from across Western Canada and the United States.  PEEC took place virtually February 18-19, 2021.

workshops:  CSEE Vancouver 2021

CIEE sponsored two workshops at the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution (CSEE) Annual Meeting on August 15-20, 2021.   Diane Srivastava, Director of CIEE and Professor, University of BC and Rachel Germain, Assistant Professor, University of BC, with Ellen Bledsoe, Joey Burant and Gracielle Higino, Postdoctoral Fellows with the Living Data Project, presented 'How to propose, organize and run a successful working group.'  The second workshop entitled, 'Microclimate and biophysical models to predict the impacts of climate change,' was led by Juan G. Rubalcaba, Marie-Curie Fellow at McGill University, and assisted by Mario Gil Castro, PhD Student, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, and presented an introduction to biophysical and physiological modelling in ecology.
