Monthly Highlight
Mark Deschenes, Sr, Health Management and Policy, URC Event
Mark Deschenes, former Army Med Tech, presents his poster at the Nelson Poster Competition which is part of the 2013 URC Event. Mark and his fellow student Ben Tasker provided information about their research into the present day challenges for bees. Their focus is on developing a way to genetically modify the bee to enhance it's chances of survival. Mark and Ben are also part of a competition on Friday called the Bud Albin Challenge Round. We wish them the best of luck in these challenges and of course wish Mark luck as he graduates.
