The 2012 ICE Conference was hosted by Prof. Lisa Rosenberg at the University of Victoria August 16-17. Eleven students from across the country presented the results of their summer's research, and we had a plenary lecture from Prof. Paul Ragogna from Western University. (You can download the program to see the titles and abstracts of all the outstanding research presentations.) We ate and drank and enjoyed some of the hottest weather Victoria had all summer!
