Hello fellow bio students!
Feeling competitive? Ready to get into pumpkins up to your elbows? Interested in firing those creative neuronal transfers?
Well, it's about that time. It is time for the BGSA's annual pumpkin carving contest!
For those of you new to the Department or unfamiliar with the event, teams participating in the contest sign up in advance, and arrive the day of the event with tools in hand, and carve the greatest pumpkin of all time. Teams must pay 6$/team, which covers the cost of the pumpkin (which we will provide) and prizes. Please sign-up by visiting (with the money) Katie Pagnucco (Redpath Room 303 on the third floor), Scott DeVito (Stewart N5/5; dial 7488), Chelsea Chisholm (Stewart N3/5; dial 6428), Mary-Rose Bradley Gill (Bellini 232; if nobody there, look in lab 270 or call 3565), or Kate Krivy (Bellini 232; if nobody there, look in lab 270 or call 3565) by Tuesday, October 30th so we can purchase supplies.
Teams will have 1 hour to carve the pumpkin
related to a surprise THEME that will be announced by the surprise
judges on the day of the event. Judging criteria include: adherence to
theme, creativity/originality, use of lab tools, and participation of
the lab supervisor (extra points... so convince your prof to come!)
Summary:
WHAT: I think that should be obvious by now.
WHEN: Wednesday, October 31 at 11:30 am (event is 1hr: teams should arrive 15 mins early to prepare: onlookers welcome!)
WHERE: 4th floor lobby, Stewart Biology Building
WHO: Graduate students, postdocs, professors, anyone in the Department with an interest in pumpkins and/or squash carving
WHY: Because October wouldn't be complete without a pumpkin carving contest AND there will be prizes, and wait for it... a TROPHY (yes, a TROPHY) for the winning team.
DEADLINE to sign up: Wednesday, October 30th
So start harassing your supervisors, assemble a team and register with any of the people listed above, we're looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday,
October 30th at 11:30 am for pumpkin fun! Teams, don't forget to bring your own carving supplies.
