Experimental Design and Statistics\n\n\n\nOrganized by: Rob Gulden, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada, and Alissa Kriss, Syngenta Crop Protection, Greensboro, NC, U.S.A.\n\n\n\nRegistrants will learn the basics of experimental designs that are typically used in greenhouse, lab, and field-based plant pathology, weeds and agronomy research studies, why one would choose to use a certain design for their study, and how to evaluate prior to doing the study that a good choice was made. We will link experimental design and study planning with the analysis of observed data and interpretation of statistical results through several examples given during the workshop and also provide the registrant opportunities for deeper study post-workshop. Code will be provided in SAS and it is recommended (but not required) that registrants have SAS on their computers. The free SAS University Edition is acceptable.\n\n\n\nThis workshop will take place on Sunday, June 18 from 12:30 to 15:30. There is a registration fee of $20.00 for this workshop. Attendance is limited and CPS and CSA members will be given priority.\n\n\n\nScientific Writing Workshop\n\n\n\nOrganized by: Brent McCallum, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Morden, MB, Canada\n\n\n\nThis workshop focuses on the scientific writing and publishing process.  It will involve the steps to consider when preparing your manuscript, the editorial process, avoiding common mistakes in submitting a paper, and maximizing the impact of your publications.  We are fortunate to have the Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology (CJPP), Dr. Zamir Punja, participating and sharing his extensive experience with participants.  The Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Plant Science (CJPS), Dr. Brian Beres, will give his perspectives and insights from the CJPS.  Allison Paskins, from the publishers Taylor & Francis , will give a view on the publication process and how it is evolving over time from the publisher of the CJPP and many other high level scientific journals.  Section Editor for the CJPP, Dr. Tom Fetch will also give a perspective on common mistakes to avoid when submitting a manuscript to a journal.  The workshop is focussed on graduate students and early career scientists; however it should also be useful to anyone else who is interested in improving the quality, and maybe even the quantity, of their publications.\n\n\n\nThis workshop will take place on Sunday, June 18 from 16:00 to 17:30.

B. SMITH AND C. B. JONES)Affiliations– in italics and need to include postal address and postal code (no abbreviations except for province or state names)– first affiliation should be that of the first author. If other authors have different affiliations, those affiliations should start with the author’s initials, e.g. (C.B.J.)Abstract body– in normal font with scientific names italicised– should be no more than 250 words– scientific authorities are to be given for all Latin names the first time they are mentioned in the body of the abstract– abbreviations, nomenclature, symbols for units of measurements, etc. are to conform to the requirements for manuscripts submitted to CJPPBelow the abstract clearly indicate the following:– name of the person presenting the abstract along with a telephone number and/or email address– names of two people (other than the authors) who critically read the abstract– when the abstracts are compiled for publication in CJPP, this information will be omitted and the abstracts put in alphabetical order according to the author namesAbstract fee:– there is a $35 fee for each abstract to be published in CJPP– this will be collected by the local organizing committee of the meetings and forwarded to the treasurer of the CPS society\n\n\n\nThe following is an example of how an abstract should appear. One section that some authors do not pay enough attention to with respect to format is the affiliations. Complete addresses should be given in the format shown below. Another area that some authors neglect is providing the scientific authorities for Latin names. If authors do not provide the correct format, they may be asked to do so before their abstract will be published.\n\n\n\nThe title of the abstract is to be bold. A. B. SMITH, C. B. JONES AND D. SMITH-JONES. London Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 1391 Sandford Street, London, ON N5V 4T3, Canada; (C.B.J.) Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada; and (D.S.-J.) Department of Plant Science, McGill University, Macdonald Campus, 21 111 Lakeshore Road, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC H9X 3V9, Canada\n\n\n\nThe body of the abstract (not including the title, author names, and affiliations) should be carefully written to stay within the limit of 250 words. An abstract should contain a description of the problem, results, and concluding statement. The abstract should be concise with just enough information to introduce your subject and generate interest. Abstracts should be typed as single space. Use the text font Times New Roman and 12 po. Scientific authorities are to be given for all Latin names the first time they are mentioned in the body of the abstract. Cultivar names are to have single quotation marks around them every time they are mentioned. All abbreviations are to be spelled out in full the first time they are mentioned in the body of the text. Authors are to have their abstract(s) proofread by two colleagues for clarity and grammar.\n\n\n\nInstructions for oral presentations: Oral presentations will be 15 minutes. This will include a 12 minute presentation and 3 minutes for questions. This should be strictly adhered to, especially for students in the oral competition. PowerPoint is a good tool for making presentations. Each presentation should have clear, appealing slides. The presentation should have a title slide, an introduction to the importance of the work, and a clear objectives slide. Slides should not be overcrowded. Graphics and photographs are encouraged. A good rule of thumb is one minute for each slide, not including the title slide.\n\n\n\nInstructions for poster presentations: Posters should be prepared in a portrait format and be 3ft wide by 4 ft tall. Posters should be readable from a distance of 2 meters. For adequate visibility, the font size should be a minimum of 30 point. Avoid overcrowding of tables and figures. Each table and figure should have a legend and a title. Graphics are encouraged. The poster should be self-explanatory. PowerPoint is a good tool for making posters.\n\n\n\nInstructions to Authors\n\n\n\nDeadline for submission of abstracts is May 15. There is a $35 fee/abstract for publication of abstracts in the Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology. The format of abstracts must follow that for CJPP (submit-abstracts). Underline the speaker’s name, indicate whether the presentation is oral or poster, and indicate if it is a student presentation.\n\n\n\nPoster presentations\n\n\n\nPosters should be prepared in a portrait format and be 3 ft wide by 4 ft tall.
