WOW! Thanks to all participants!The talks at the RISE2013 conference were all absolutely fabulous. The chemistry was fascinating and very diverse - and the presentations were extremely well done. Thanks to all participants - both RISE Scholars and their advisors for making this a successful conference. Photos should be available soon... details will be provided by email. 2013/08/26

Thank you to our sponsors!With the conference just finiahed - I wanted to reiterate our thanks for the financial support provided by our sponsors. UBC Chemistry and the Faculty of Science provided the largest piece of the pie - but important contributions were also made by MBraun - who kept the atmosphere clean throughout the conference - and both the Organic and Inorganic Divisions of the Canadian Society for Chemistry. THANKS! 2013/08/23
