Help a professor update their website? $500
by SoCS Undergrad Student Announcements 29 Sep '25

29 Sep '25

Hi Everyone, Professor Andrew Kropinski is looking for help updating his website: "Over 25 years ago using Microsoft FrontPage I developed Online Analysis Tools (https://molbiol-tools.ca/) to aid my research and that of my students in molecular biology. I have updated it annually using PageBreeze - another WYSIWYG editor, https://www.pagebreeze.com. Unfortunately an analysis of Online Analysis Tools using The WC3 Markup Validation Service (https://validator.w3.org) reveals that much of the code is dated and should be replaced by CSS. My question is do you know of any students at the University of Guelph who would like to make some money by (a) helping me to update the HTML/CSS code in Online Analysis Tools, and (b) attempt to teach me so that I can update this website annually (I remove dead URLs and add new ones)." It sounds like the work would be in person and the total pay is $500. If you are interested please contact Professor Kropinski: Andrew M. Kropinski PhD Emeritus Professor, Microbiology & Immunology, Queen's University Adjunct Professor, Pathobiology, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph Fellow, American Academy of Microbiology Academician, Georgian National Academy of Sciences Actinobacteriophages Study Group Chair, Bacterial Viruses Subcommittee, ICTV NCBI Viral Genome Advisor URL: Online Analysis Tools (http://molbiol-tools.ca) Email Phage.Canada(a)gmail.com<mailto:Phage.Canada@gmail.com>
