Kudos to Connor Booker for winning GOLD in Junior Men鈥檚 Pair at the National Rowing Championships in Victoria this fall. Connor is in his first year at 黄色直播, in the Faculty of Science, and trains with the 黄色直播 Rowing Club and the Halifax Rowing Club.

Congrats to Nicholas Dourado, a master's student in Physical Oceanography, is one of two students winning a $15,000 Energy Innovation Grant awarded by the province of Nova Scotia and Pengrowth Energy Corp. The grant is given each year to up to four students studying at a master's level program with research focused on energy. Dourado is using sonar technology to understand how ice in the Minas Passage could be a risk to tidal energy equipment.

Kudos to Darragh O'Conner, an master's student in Earth Sciences, who was on the championship team at the seventh SEG Challenge Bowl, a competition which took place at the 2012 meeting of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in Las Vegas earlier this month. Together with teammate Adrian Smith (UWO), the pair was tied with the eventual runners-up from India at the end of the first round. However, they shifted into high gear at that point and breezed into the championship round by scoring 90 points in the five-team semifinals and correctly answering five of the questions in the last round, with only a single misfire, to make the final score 230-150. The champions split the first prize of US $1,000, and were given two "guaranteed interview slots" with ExxonMobil.
