WSU-UI Center for Reproductive Biology organized a retreat on May 14 and 15 at Orofino, ID. Distinguished Geneticist Dr. Robin Lovell-Badge was invited to deliver a speech on vertebrate sex determination. Dr. Terry Ned who is a renowned reproductive biologist in the nation delivered a Founder's Lecture on how to make a contraceptive to sterilize wild animals. Both speakers gave an elegant speech. Student and Trainee speakers did pretty well. The overall program was successful. At the end of the first day presentation, power went out. Everyone had a candle light dinner. Volleyball game was cancelled, otherwise WSU was said to win the game this year. UI team used to be the bold for ever though.
