A new way for postdocs to interact and share information with other UWO postdocs!

Our link is “Postdoctoral Association - news and resources”. Check it out, comment, discuss, interact!
It is up to us how we want to use this space, what do we want to use it for and how often it will be used. If you have any comments, would like some topics added or a new discussion open, just post your message there or write us an email (postdocs@uwo.ca). The calendar will be updated with our meetings and social get-togethers, so you can always check when and where do we meet again.
If you cannot access the WebCT - let us know (postdocs@uwo.ca). To log in you will need your UWO email address.
So - go on and check it out!
The WebCT area is brought to you by your WebCT coordinator, Anna Hanuszkiewicz.

As we previously mentioned, PSAC (the union for PDA's) and UWO are currently in the process of negotiating a new collective agreement between PDA's and the university. PSAC has asked PAW to forward on the following information to our postdocs:
Although this is really only important to our PDA's, PDF's should feel free to keep themselves informed.
Remember, PAW is only an information resource and is NOT involved in these negotiations. PAW does not condone any actions by the union or the university on these matters.
