Dear UBC,

We are pleased to reflect on the success of our 10th UBC Annual Symposium, which took place last month. The event was kicked off by the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Isabel Arends. Together with engaging presentations, great discussions, and valuable opportunities to connect, the event certainly highlighted the strength of our community. Thank you to all who participated and made it a memorable day.

We are also happy to share that the revamp of the UBC website is now successfully completed. Your input has helped us shape a more accessible and functional website, so thank you for your support.

Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome you to our next in-person UBC seminar on November 25. This edition features Duong Vu, who will focus on using computations techniques for improving fungal identification. We hope to see you there for what promises to be an engaging and informative session.

Warm regards,

Ronnie de Jonge
On behalf of the UBC Executive Committee
