You鈥檝e seen the picture. Tiny farms dot the countryside like patches on a crazy quilt. The rust-red hills roll like waves onto pristine beaches before eventually meeting the sea. Populate the whole place with quaint rural people, and you鈥檝e got the image PEI has been selling to the world for more than a century. Especially to tourists. "There's been remarkable consistency over time in how tourism promoters have tried to package PEI,鈥� explains Dr. Ed MacDonald, Chair of the Department of History at UPEI. 鈥淭hey sell a way of life that grows out of the landscape. Not only is that seductively simplistic, but one can argue that it's less and less true." Join Dr. MacDonald for a public discussion, 鈥淧ackage Deals: Exploring the History of Tourism on PEI,鈥� Tuesday, January 12, at 7 p.m. at Mavor鈥檚 in the Confederation Centre for the Arts. Research on Tap is presented by UPEI鈥檚 Office of Research Development.

SPEAKER: Okechukwu Igboeli, Biomedical Sciences TITLE: Development of models to study P-glycoprotein-mediated drug resistance in sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis
