The summer of 2011 was busy with Thesis Defenses in the Department of Physiology. Naima Mumtaz kicked it off in May with the defense of her Master's Thesis entitled "Acute and chronic adaptation of Supraoptic neurons to changes in osmolality". Congratulations to Ms. Mumtaz and her supervisor Dr. Thomas Fisher. The next student to defend was Nicole Longmuir. Her Master's Thesis title is "Regulation of adenosine transporter and AMPA receptor subunit localization by protein kinase CK2 in rat hippocampus". Her thesis supervisor was Dr. Cayabyab. The third student who defended this summer was Brittany Cazakoff. Her Master's Thesis is entitled "Spontaneous recognition in rats : synaptic plasticity and neurodevelopmental challenge". Dr. Howland, who is new to the Department of Physiology, was her supervisor. Congratulations to all of the Students and supervisors!

The Students' Union Teaching Excellence Awards program recognizes professors who demonstrate teaching excellence at the University of Saskatchewan. Students evaluate teachers and their environment in a number of ways; three important areas include enthusiasm, organization, and fairness of evaluation. The culmination of these aspects leads to an environment where students feel free to explore, critique, grow, and become leaders.
