There are some really great plant researchers at Guelph. I hope to end up back there my self one way or another. It could be high on the list because, I suppose, it would have one of the highest concentration of corn researchers in Canada. The US probably proportionately has more corn researchers but they could be spread across several institutes as evident from the top ten list. Bummer on the scoop.

I remember running into a number of really cool grad students from Guelph at the previous maize meeting (the first one I'd ever been to), including one whose research effectively scooped the project I'd been working on during my rotation. Without any historical data it's hard to say if they just have a lot of people doing interesting stuff with corn, or if there's something different about this year.

Perl can be useful for a variety of tasks. A little know-how can go a long way and save alot of time from what could be tedious work. Also, very cool for me to see University of Guelph up there before some other very big names. Any idea why? Its not in Guelph or something is it? (did my undergrad at Guelph) Yes.
