Aditya Joshi, a candidate in the Centre for Biotechnology, will present his Master of Science thesis defence by video conference on Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 1 p.m. in WH 147.
His thesis is titled “A systematic view on mobile elements’ contribution to human transcriptomes.”
His examination committee members are Dr. Michael Pisaric, Chair; Dr. Teresa Crease, External Examiner, (University of Guelph); Dr. Ping Liang, Supervisor; Drs. Charles Depres and Trevor Dudding, Committee Members.
Applications are open for a competitive award that gives Brock’s entrepreneurial students an edge on the path to success. Established in 2014, the Deborah E. Rosati Entrepreneurship Award annually provides at least one student with $10,000 to become a full-time entrepreneur in the Spring/Summer term.
The student who receives the award will work closely with BioLinc, Brock’s on-campus business incubator run by the Goodman School of Business, and gain access to physical space, support services, mentorship and networking opportunities from May to August.
The award is open to any Brock student with almost any type of business concept. Co-op students are able to use the semester towards a co-op work term.
Brock students Ethan Foy and Olivia Poulin were last year’s recipients, and they have both enjoyed entrepreneurial success thanks in part to their ability to focus their efforts to their businesses full-time last summer.
Earlier this month, Foy won a $14,000 startup prize package at Monster Pitch, an entrepreneurial pitch competition hosted by the Brock Innovation Group in partnership with the Goodman School of Business and BioLinc. The fifth-year neuroscience student from Oakville won the competition by pitching LifePoints, his company that provides users with monetary rewards for time spent at fitness facilities.
Students can apply for the Deborah Rosati award on the BioLinc website until Sunday, Jan. 28.
You’re invited!
This intimate event will give students the opportunity to meet directly with oenology and viticulture industry professionals in a wide variety of positions. Students can improve networking skills, learn about possible career paths and secure employment (part-time, co-op/internship or post-graduate, full-time).

President Gervan Fearon invites Brock faculty and staff to kick off the new year by joining him for a coffee break, Thursday, Jan. 18 in Market Hall. Employees are welcome to drop in anytime between 2 and 3 p.m. to enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, sweets and conversation. No registration is required.
With the majority of employees back from their holiday breaks, Fearon looks forward to catching up and having conversations with colleagues and meeting new people.
“The event is purposely informal,” he said. “There won’t be any formal speeches or agendas. I want to chat and engage in conversation with faculty, staff and colleagues about their holidays, to introduce myself and provide faculty and staff with an opportunity to share and engage in dialogue.”
