Myers Memorial Stairwell Project

To:  Friends and Colleagues of Ram Myers,

The Myers Memorial Stairwell Project has now been completed, and we'd like to invite you to an opening celebration at the end of the month.

On Wednesday, March 31st at 12:30 pm please join us in the Biology lounge on the 5th floor of the Biology/Earth Sciences wing of the Life Sciences Centre at Dalhousie. (Turn right as you exit the elevators and the lounge is at the end of the main hallway on the left). There will be a couple of  short speeches in honour of Ram and the Memorial, followed by some food and drink. Please join us if you can! Also, please forward this invitation to others  who may be interested in attending the opening.

Best regards,
The Myers Lab

Information about the memorial: Ram's former students have created a memorial in his honour in the North stairwell of the Life Sciences Centre  at Dalhousie University, consisting of the first page of all 160-plus primary literature articles that were authored or co-authored by Ram. The papers were spontaneously taped up in the stairwell in the days following  his passing, and are now permanently mounted on individual plaques on the wall of the stairwell in chronological order between the second and the eighth floors.
