There will be an interruption of various UPEI services on Sunday, July 14 between 2:00 and 5:00 pm and lasting up to 15 minutes for each service. This interruption will affect access to our wireless internet, email, and the UPEI website for roughly 15 minutes. In addition, several key services such as the University Information System, AVC Electronic Medical Records System, HERA, and Moodle will be affected for several minutes between 2:00 and 5:00 pm. IT Systems and Services regrets any inconvenience this service interruption will cause UPEI staff and faculty.

Renovations have recently begun on space within the K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre. A team of contractors is converting room 128 into a collaborative research laboratory, which will add significant research and trainee capacity, and will allow UPEI to accommodate its growing cluster in macromolecular sciences research. Funding for the renovations is being provided by the Leaders Opportunity Fund from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). The funding was announced in the fall of 2012 by the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Canada’s Minister of State for Science and Technology. Read the full release here: http://news.upei.ca/media/2012/10/26/canada-foundation-innovation-cfi-s… While the contractors have been instructed that the work be executed with the least possible interference or disturbance to the campus community, a certain amount of disruption is inevitable. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Renovations are expected to be complete in the fall of 2013. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail at 566-6034 or jmacphail@upei.ca.

When Dr. Ian Gardner took up the position as the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Aquatic Epidemiology http://www.cerc.gc.ca/chairholders-titulaires/gardner-eng.shtml, he knew he was joining an already strong team of researchers at UPEI’s Atlantic Veterinary College. “Truly, that was part of the appeal for me,” says Dr. Gardner. “The expertise here in fish health and veterinary epidemiology is second to none in the world.” That’s why Dr. Gardner likes to refer to the group around him as the CERC team: a group of researchers—each a leader in her or his specific area. “One area I thought the CERC team could expand to was economics,” says Dr. Gardner. “That’s why I am pleased to say we’ve acquired just that expertise in Dr. Kehar Singh.” Read the rest of the story at: http://research.upei.ca/blogs/2013/07/04/economics-aquaculture
