About PUBS

The Prairie Universities Biological Symposium (PUBS) is a biological conference organized by students for students. Only students are allowed to present at PUBS, although professors are welcome to attend. PUBS is a great opportunity for graduate and senior undergraduate students to gain experience and develop communication skills necessary for a successful career in science. Students may give either an oral presentation or a poster presentation on proposed, preliminary, in progress, or completed research. Therefore, students at any stage of their program can attend and present at PUBS. PUBS also offers a great opportunity to meet fellow students from other universities across the Canadian and American prairies and to get information on advisors and research opportunities elsewhere.

All disciplines are invited and encouraged to give talks. Areas of research include, but are not limited to, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Botany, Zoology, Ecology, Evolution, Animal Behaviour, Conservation Biology, Biochemistry, Animal and Plant Science, and Entomology, and Medicine.
