The PCRP physiology forum is an open presentation on interesting and new research ideas and projects in the plant physiology field. The group meets on the first Friday of each month between 11am and 12 pm in room 160 of the Cox Institute, NSAC. The forum co-ordinators are Phillip Joy (research assistant) and Kathy Pickle (graduate student) whom are members of the PCRP. If there are any topics that you may want to see presented, or you wish to present yourself, please contact Phillip pjoy@nsac.ns.ca or Kathy krpickle@nsac.ns.ca All are welcome to attend.
