The Anthropic Principle in Astronomy : International Year of Astronomy 2009 Public Lecture Series ORGANIZER;CN=Institute of Advanced Studies:MAILTO:iasuwa@admin.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Geraint Lewis\, School of Physics\, University of Sydney.\n\nHow lucky we are\, finding us living on a planet with just the right conditions for liquid water to flow on its surface. More than that\, we live in a universe old enough\, and with just the right laws of physics\, to forge the heavy elements from which we are made.\n\nThis 'lucky' situation underpins the anthropic principle\, which related our very existence to the evolution of the cosmos. To some\, the anthropic principle is little more than misguided hand-waving\, whereas to others it tells us something fundamental about the universe. In this talk\, we will look at the successes and failures of this controversial idea\, as well as looking to the future\, where some think that the anthropic principle may be our only guide to one of the major outstanding questions in physics\, namely how do we construct a theory of everything?\n LOCATION:Social Sciences Lecture Theatre\, UWA URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090819T040801Z-790-10187@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090819T032713Z-790-7092@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20090819T032713Z CREATED:20090819T032713Z DTSTART:20090930T180000 DTEND:20090930T190000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090924T080843Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Against the grain: Reading the Book of Nature : 2009 History Lecture Series ORGANIZER;CN=Institute of Advanced Studies:MAILTO:iasuwa@admin.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Philippa Maddern\, UWA\n\nFor medieval writers\, ‘nature’ had an extraordinarily wide range of significance. Profound generic chasms separated the manorial account roll recording in apparently passionless detail the monetary value of woodlands\, fields and meadows\; the medieval romance\, locating knightly ‘adventure’ in highly fictionalised forests\; the tract on geomancy\, explaining how personal and political futures could literally be ‘read’ in the earth\; or the learned encyclopaedia\, encouraging readers to view the natural world either as an allegorical figure of wisdom\, or as a divinely-authored ‘Book’ through which theological truths could be discovered.\nMedieval environmental historians\, therefore\, should ideally read their material—both archaeological or textual—against its grain\, and in relationship to the various genres of environmental discourse. This lecture will address such questions as how the 12th–13th centuries (a period of heavy deforestation) developed the highly popular genre of forest romances? How and why late-medieval English writers\, living in a period of apparent climatic turmoil\, produced literary pictures of a static environment? And what were the connections between the perception of the natural world as a divinely-authored text\, and the perception of nature as a result and testimony of Adam and Eve’s fall from grace?

Sustainable rehabilitation requires that soil be recreated from piles of waste so that new ecosystems are functionally stable. Real soil is full of life and to achieve this state may require as much chemistry as is involved in the process that produced the waste initially. Paradoxically\, organic amendments\, besides being more costly\, may be less environmentally sound than the use of synthetic chemicals to build soil fertility.\n\nProfessor Martin Fey joined the School of Earth and Environment in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at UWA in January\, 2009. His position as Professorial Fellow in Mineral Processing Wastes is funded jointly by Alcoa World Alumina Australia and BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina Pty Ltd. The main focus of his research is on the rehabilitation and re-use of residues from bauxite refining. Previously Martin was Professor and Head of the Dept of Soil Science at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Before that he had held academic appointments in environmental geochemistry at the University of Cape Town and in Soil Science at the University of Natal\, where he obtained his PhD in 1976. He has conducted postdoctoral research in soil mineralogy at Texas A&M University and spent a sabbatical doing both teaching and research at the University of Georgia\, USA in 1985. He has published and supervised postgraduate research in a range of fields including soil chemistry\, clay mineralogy\, plant nutrition\, soil classification\, soil genesis and ecology.\n\nFor catering purposes\, please RSVP chris.hale@uwa.edu.au\n\nSpeakers: Professor Martin Fey\, Professorial Fellow\, School of Earth and Environment LOCATION:University Club\, Theatre Auditorium URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090916T051741Z-776-6658@events.uwa.edu.au/what son/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090927T101020Z-876-2441@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20090927T101020Z CREATED:20090927T181020 DTSTART:20091002T150000 DTEND:20091002T160000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091005T082728Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Launch of UWA in Second Life : UWA enters the 3D virtual world in full glory ORGANIZER;CN=Jay Jay Jegathesan:MAILTO:jayjay@cyllene.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:This event launches UWA's presence in the 3D interactive\, immersive world of Second Life.

Although we have co-existed with influenza viruses throughout recorded history and have developed vaccines and antiviral drugs to control them\, their remarkable capacity for change means that the future evolution of influenza viruses – and even the progress of the present pandemic – cannot be predicted.\n\nMuch has been learned about the characteristics of influenza viruses that underlie this capacity for change and the emergence of new variants from animal reservoirs. The three pandemics of the 20th century\, in 1918–1919\, 1957 and 1968\, have also shown us how new influenza viruses emerge and spread through non-immune human communities. But pandemics are also shaped by the world in which they occur and the 2009 pandemic is taking place in a world changing rapidly as a result of technology\, globalisation and demographic and economic change. These factors will all affect its outcome.\n\nIn 2009\, we have a unique opportunity to use modern surveillance\, communication and analytical tools to study this pandemic as it evolves\, particularly in the southern hemisphere as the new virus competes with seasonal influenza viruses during our winter. Lessons from this experience will guide public health responses in subsequent seasons and improve our ability to respond to the inevitable pandemics of the future.\n\nDate: Monday\, 5 October 2009\nTime: 7.15pm for 7.30pm start.\n\nLocation: Octagon Theatre\, The University of Western Australia\nCost: Free\, however a ticket is essential.\nTickets are available from the Octagon Theatre Box Office.

The southwest of Western Australia is also one of the world’s hotspots of biodiversity\, with plant diversity increasing with decreasing soil [P]. This environment offers a unique opportunity to study plant adaptations to nutrient-poor conditions.\n\nA relatively large proportion of the species from the very phosphorus-poor soils in Western Australia cannot produce a symbiotic association with a mycorrhizal fungus\, including most species belonging to the Proteaceae and Cyperaceae. Instead\, many species in these families produce root clusters\, which release large amounts of carboxylates\, whose role is that of mobilisation of phosphorus (P) and micronutrients.\n\nLeaf P concentrations in south-western Australia are amongst the very lowest in the world. Leaf N concentrations are also low\, but relatively less so than leaf [P]\, and hence foliar N:P ratios are relatively high\, compared with global datasets. Very high values for leaf mass per unit area\, compared with data for plants elsewhere in the world\, only partly account for low leaf [P]. For reasons that remain to be explored further\, leaves of many south-western Australian plants are capable of functioning at very low leaf [P]\, including exhibiting relatively high rates of photosynthesis.\n\n\nSpeakers: Prof. Hans Lambers\, School of Plant Biology LOCATION:Agriculture Lecture Theatre (G.013) URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090930T072555Z-1300-14658@events.uwa.edu.au/wh atson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091006T163909Z-1211-4170@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091006T163909Z CREATED:20091006T163909Z DTSTART:20091007T170000 DTEND:20091007T183000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091007T013050Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:“Breaking down the stereotypes” : cultural seminar ORGANIZER;CN=International Students Service:MAILTO:uwa.mcw2009@gmail.com DESCRIPTION:This year\, Multicultural Week is holding its cultural seminar with the topic “Breaking down the stereotypes”.\n\nThere will be 4 prominent speakers with diverse backgrounds which include an AFL player\, ECC speakers and police officer.

Involvement of the macula is the main cause for visual loss. Experimental models of posterior uveitis have revealed much concerning the mechanisms of inflammatory cell damage to the retina. In particular\, transgenic and gene deletion models of inflammation have allowed an understanding of how immune privilege in the posterior segment of the eye is disrupted and how the disease (uveitis) is initiated. Importantly\, this has led to the development of new treatments with novel immunosuppressants and 'biologics' and the promise of cell-based therapies which may allow customized therapies tailored to the individual's inflammatory profile.\n\nSpeakers: Professor John Forrester LOCATION:The R A Joske Seminar Room (West) URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090910T032131Z-168-14330@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090930T055612Z-168-4254@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:4 DTSTAMP:20090930T055612Z CREATED:20090930T055612Z DTSTART:20091013T130000 DTEND:20091013T140000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090930T080400Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Raine Lecture - Professor Emeritus Henning Schneider : Tolerance of human placental tissue to severe hypoxia and its relevance for dual ex vivo perfusion ORGANIZER;CN=Professor Arunasalam Dharmarajan:MAILTO: Arunasalam.Dharmarajan@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Following retirement from his academic position as Director of the Maternity Hospital at the Insel Spital in Berne\, Professor Henning Schneider has remained active in the field of placental research.

His non-lethal weapon of choice at the time? Plates of penne. He started Slow Food in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life\, the disappearance of local food traditions\, people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat\, where it comes from\, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world – people\, communities\, animals\, plants and the environment. Today the organisation\, based in Bra\, Italy\, has 100\,000 members in 150 countries.

It becomes reasonable to ask why these efforts have not been working.\n\nGiving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to promoting a higher level of integrity in education and the workplace\, pioneered by former Harvard Business School faculty Dr Mary Gentile. GVV is not about persuading people to be more ethical. Rather GVV starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values\, but that we also want to feel that we have a reasonable chance of doing so effectively and successfully. This curriculum is about raising those odds.\n\nGVV\, recently cited in the New York Times article “Is It Time To Re-Train B-Schools?” (March 14\, 2009)\, is currently being piloted in over 100 sites from Yale to INSEAD to MIT to the Indian School of Business to the University of Western Australia – as well as business settings and non-profit organisations.\n\nDr Gentile will explain the rationale and principles behind this empowering approach to developing the ethical muscles – the skills and confidence – required to voice and act on our values.\n\nBIOGRAPHY\nMary C Gentile\, PhD is Director of Giving Voice to Values www.GivingVoiceToValues.org launched by The Aspen Institute and Yale School of Management\, with ongoing support from Babson College. This pioneering curriculum for values-driven leadership has over 100 pilot sites globally and has been featured in New York Times\, Financial Times and Harvard Business Review. Gentile\, faculty at Babson College and educational consultant\, was previously at Harvard Business School. She holds a BA from The College of William and Mary and PhD from State University of New York-Buffalo.\n\nRSVP ESSENTIAL\nKylie Weston - Call (08) 6488 5825 or email events@biz.uwa.edu.au\n\nSpeakers: Dr Mary Gentile LOCATION:Ernst & Young Lecture Theatre\, Ground Floor\, UWA Business School URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090929T070334Z-921-27363@events.uwa.edu.au/wha tson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091007T023648Z-1208-19329@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091007T023648Z CREATED:20091007T103648 DTSTART:20091015T190000 DTEND:20091015T220000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091019T080654Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:UWA Big Band : Performing at the Navy Club ORGANIZER;CN=Samantha Ashman:MAILTO:ashmas01@student.uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:The UWA Big Band has been working hard to bring you the best of Glenn Miller\, Thad Jones\, Jerry Gray\, Sammy Nestico and much more...\nEnjoy a drink at the fully licenced bar with nibbles also available.\nCome and dance along or just relax to the swingin' sound of the UWA Big Band.\nTickets are available at the door for $5\n\nSpeakers: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=119042233962&index=1 LOCATION:The Navy Club\, 64 High Street\, Fremantle URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091007T023648Z-1208-19329@events.uwa.edu.au/wh atson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090914T073452Z-1127-14594@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20090914T073452Z CREATED:20090914T073452Z DTSTART:20091015T191500 DTEND:20091015T203000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090914T074614Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Palliative Care WA : Annual St Luke's Day Service ORGANIZER;CN=Will Hallahan:MAILTO:mailto:katherine.greville@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:The Annual St Luke's Day Service will be held on the evening of Thursday 15 October 2009 in Perth.

This includes creating compelling narratives that allow us to question our unprecedented future\, using design to open up new thought areas and unravel the complexity of invisible science. Over the last 18 months Ginsberg has been exploring how the two very disparate scales of molecular science and human design interact. At the Royal College of Art\, London\, she began researching synthetic biology\, the application of engineering principles to biology\, the abstraction of the chaos of life into standardised components and systems. Daisy has now moved into the lab\, designing a Synthetic Biology Protocol for SymbioticA during her residency.\n\nPrior to the MA Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art\, Ginsberg read Architecture at Cambridge University\, worked in urbanism and spent a year at Harvard learning about narrative and design research. Her time at the RCA was spent exploring what design - integral to the developments of the Industrial and Information Revolutions - has to ‘offer’ to a Biotech Revolution. \n\nMore information: http://www.daisyginsberg.com/ \n\nAll welcome. \n\n\nSpeakers: Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg LOCATION:SymbioticA Room 228\, Level 2\, School of Anatomy and Human Biology\, The University of Western Australia URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091014T055417Z-812-7936@events.uwa.edu.au/what son/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090713T133405Z-192-25131@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:5 DTSTAMP:20090713T133405Z CREATED:20090713T133405Z DTSTART:20091017T090000 DTEND:20091017T170000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091016T030849Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY: Evolutionary Biology Symposium : An interesting and diverse one day Symposium ORGANIZER;CN=Margaret Brocx:MAILTO:rswa@iinet.net.au DESCRIPTION:The Royal Society of Western Australia Symposium will cover a range of wide ranging subjects: from classic palaeontology to modern concepts in evolution\, including evolutionary microbiology\, neoLamarckism\, transposable elements as facilitators of evolution\, to exploration of the predecessors and contemporaries of Darwin. \n\nThe list of speakers and the subject matter includes:\n\nKey Note Speaker: Professor Ken McNamara\, Cambridge University: Shapes of Time: Fossils\, Development and Evolution\n\nDr Stefan Revets: No man is an island: Evolution before Darwin\n\nDr Kevin Thiele: The Tree of Life as biology's most important organising metaphor - Theophrastus\, Darwin\, Haeckel\, Hennig\, and challenges from modern genetics\n\nDr Alan Tapper: Philosophical Perspectives on Evolutionary Theory\n\nDr Ted Steele: Lamarck and Immunity: somatic and germline evolution of antibody genes\n\nDr Stefan Revets: Alfred Russel Wallace\, co-author of the Darwin-Wallace Theory of Evolution\n\nKeith Oliver & Dr Wayne Greene: Transposable elements: powerful facilitators of evolution\n\nDr Graham O’Hara & Dr Kemanthi Nandasena: New understandings in microbial evolution\n\nDr Kate Trinajstic: Polymorphism\, variation and evolutionary change in early vertebrates from the Gogo Formation\, Western Australia\n\nDr Kate Bryant - Evolution for undergraduates - fostering critical thinkers.\n\nRegistration form and details are available on the RSWA website www.rswa.org.au.\nRegistration for Members will be Free\, Non-members $60.00\, and Students $30.00.

In it Professor Hendry re-interprets model evaluation as discovering what is wrong\, robust statistics as discovering which sub-sample is reliable\, and model selection as discovering which model best matches the criteria.\nAutomatic methods enable formulation\, selection\, estimation and evaluation on a scale well beyond the powers of human intellect\, including when there are more candidate variables than observations. Hendry will explain how major recent developments facilitate the discovery of models\, despite the high dimensionality\, non-linearity\, inertia\,\nendogeneity\, evolution\, and abrupt change characteristic of economic data that interact to make modelling so difficult in practice.

Such an awkward definition is meant to emphasize that there existed a common artistic vocabulary extending beyond those facets and thus allowing a collective understanding of architectural forms\, object shapes\, surface decoration\, and calligraphic patterns.\n\nSince East/West is plainly a geographic dichotomy\, it is the boundaries of Islamic art that become particularly germane to this issue. This is one of the most peculiar\, stimulating\, and exhilarating aspects of this field because these boundaries constantly changed and represented porous frontiers by way of which there were constant exchanges\, interactions\, and cross-effects both within the confines of the Islamic world and between Europe and Asia through the intermediary of the giant puzzle that is Islamic art.\n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public\, no RSVP required.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored with:\nPerth Medieval and Renaissance Group\; Network for Early European Research\; Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies\; Faculty of Architecture\, Landscape and Visual Arts\; UWA Cultural Precinct\; and the Centre for Muslim States and Societies at The University of Western Australia.

Worldwide\, approximately three cups of tea are drunk for every cup of coffee. Almost three quarters of tea consumption takes place in developing countries with tea drinking dominating throughout Asia\, the former Soviet Union and Africa. In contrast most coffee consumption takes place in developed countries.\n\nTea is refreshing beverage and the basis of much social interaction. In recent years the health benefits of tea have been documented . We have reviewed the literature and have conducted our own research projects. Studies based at Curtin have shown the value of tea in the prevention of prostate and ovarian cancers and ischaemic stroke. UWA is undertaking research into breast cancer and other cardiovascular benefits.\n\nCurrent evidence on the health effects of tea does not meet the NHMRC's level for clinical practice guidelines. Tea consumption is possibly protective against several cancers\, stroke and cardiovascular disease. Tea is a great beverage as a part of a healthy diet and as a superior choice to coffee despite the fact that levels of intake cannot currently be recommended.\n\n“Would you like tea or coffee?” The public health answer is - we would like tea please. \n\nSpeakers: Professor Colin Binns\, professor of Public Health\, Curtin University LOCATION:Blakers Lecture Room\, Ground Floor\, Mathematics Building\, UWA URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20090928T015214Z-1167-16182@events.uwa.edu.au/wh atson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091008T034153Z-1169-13618@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091008T034153Z CREATED:20091008T114153 DTSTART:20091021T170000 DTEND:20091021T190000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091012T053442Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Free Information Evening : Master of Nursing Science - Information Evening Wednesday 21 October ORGANIZER;CN=Fiona Maley:MAILTO:fiona.maley@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:UWA has started a new Master of Nursing Science course to enable graduates with a Bachelors\ndegree in any field to undertake two years of intensive full-time study\nleading to eligibility for registration as a Registered Nurse with the\nNurses and Midwives Board of WA. \nThe two-year course will include clinical placements at Sir Charles\nGairdner Hospital and other health agencies in WA\, including a rural\nplacement.

Hanrahan saw ruination in the vagaries of the Australian climate – no matter what happened\, it was sure to turn out badly. Environmental thinking at the start of the 21st century often takes on a Hanrahanian feel\, with predictions of species loss\, ecosystem collapse\, runaway climate change and the like. Often this leaves people despairing that the problems are too vast to do anything about. There is another way to view our current situation\, in which the many positive steps that can and are being taken to manage and repair our environment can be celebrated and encouraged. The field of ecological restoration and the allied science of restoration ecology is undergoing a shift in scope and level of activity both in Australia and elsewhere. Ranging from restoration of local patches of bush through to attempts to restore and revitalise entire regions\, these efforts can add up to a large counter-current working against the negative influences we’ve all come to expect. There is potential for an optimistic view of the future tempered by a dose of realism concerning the challenges to be faced. \n\nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the University Club at UWA.\n\nThe lecture will be followed by refreshments. \n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public. \n\nPlease RSVP your attendance to 6488 1340 or ias@uwa.edu.au.

The fourth attempt at plugging the leak has been postponed due to equipment failure. The leak is considered to have covered 45\,000 square kilometres of ocean. \n\nFollowing a mass protest in the city of Perth on Friday morning at 11am\, the WA Marine Co-ordinator of the Wilderness Society\, Dr Jill St John\, will present a paper outlining the enormity of the leak\, dangers to the marine life in the vicinity and what individuals can actually do to make a difference.\n\nDr Jill St John joined the Wilderness Society in 2008 as the Marine Co-ordinator in WA. Jill has a passion for all things marine\, especially fish. \n \nStudying and working at both Sydney and James Cook Universities\, Jill specialised in the ecology of coral reef fishes. She spent two years researching coral trout in Okinawa\, Japan at Seikai National Fisheries Institute before moving to Perth to work as a Research Scientist in the Department of Fisheries. “In Perth I researched iconic temperate reef fish for eight years and often told both recreational and commercial fishers that my real clients were the fish.” Tired of the never-ending blamebrawls between “rec” and “commercial” fishers\, Jill decided to leave fisheries to campaign for better marine protection in WA. \n\nWith its huge coastline and small population\, WA has escaped the marine problems of the more populated east. However\, the recruitment failure of the famous rock lobster fishery and the recent oil and gas leak suggests WA is catching up quickly. \n\nAll welcome.\n\nFLASH MOB PROTEST\nWhen: This Friday Oct 30th@11am \nWhat: Dress in black\, grab a sign & join in protest the beat until it stops= flash mob protest\nWhere: APPEA office\, 190 St. Georges Tce.\, Perth City.\nWhy?

The abundance of individual species was found to vary markedly over the study period\, in part tracking changes in annual rainfall amounts and distribution\, but also varying in relation to animal disturbance and grazing. This led to large variations in species composition both through time and spatially. Of particular importance were the findings that invasion by non-native grasses was episodic and related to above-normal rainfall amounts and that some species which were relatively uncommon in the grassland became dominant under some conditions. These dynamics would not have been elucidated without long-term study. The relevance of the dynamic nature of the grassland\, the spatial heterogeneity and the functional roles of individual species are considered within the context of restoration. In particular\, the question of setting restoration goals in relation to a reference system is explored. Clearly\, the objectives of restoration need to take into account both the dynamic nature of ecosystems and the need to build functional resilience in the system. Similarly\, the definition of a reference state needs to recognize the possibility that species which are not abundant at one particular time may nevertheless be important components of the system under changed conditions.\n\nSpeakers: Richard Hobbs\, Professor of Restoration Ecology\, School of Plant Biology\, The Uiversity of Western Australia LOCATION:Blakers Lecture Room\, Ground Floor\, Mathematics Building\, UWA URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091029T040929Z-1167-23694@events.uwa.edu.au/wh atson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20090929T032805Z-790-9379@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20090929T032805Z CREATED:20090929T032805Z DTSTART:20091104T180000 DTEND:20091104T190000 LAST-MODIFIED:20090929T035623Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:From Mars to Earth: a journey fostered by Science\, Technology and Fascination : International Year of Astronomy Public Lecture ORGANIZER;CN=Institute of Advanced Studies:MAILTO:ias@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:A public lecture by Dr Paulo de Souza\, CSIRO ICT Centre\, Tasmania.\n\nOur Planet and Mars have a common past.

In addition\, fusion appears to be safe\, environmentally-friendly and cost-competitive with other forms of energy. Its potential to provide high temperature heat makes it useful for industrial processing as well as for electricity production. Although the fusion process was discovered before fission\, the latter has been successfully developed into power-producing systems which have produced significant amounts of electricity in many parts of the world for more than 50 years. The development of fusion has been much more difficult. \nThis lecture will discuss the development of fusion energy (based on the magnetic confinement of fusion fuel) with emphasis on the ITER Project\, the large international fusion experiment at present under construction in the south of France. It also considers the international programme not directly tied to the ITER Project and the future design of a demonstration/prototype fusion reactor. Finally\, it looks at the opportunities for Australia to become more closely involved with the international work\, in particular\, ITER.\n\n\nBiography:Dr. Barry Green holds a PhD in theoretical plasma physics from the University of Sydney and for the last 40 years has been involved in the fusion research programme in the USA\, Europe and Japan. He has held research positions at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory at Princeton University and the Max-Planck Institute for Plasmaphysics in Garching\, Germany and until 1992 was involved in the design\, construction and operation of the European fusion experiment\, JET (the Joint European Torus) at Culham in the UK. From 1992-2003 he was part of the engineering design activity of the ITER Project in Japan. Dr Green has also worked as a scientific officer in the European Commission Directorate for Energy within the Directorate-General for Research in Brussels\, coordinating the fusion programmes of the 12 most recent member states of the European Union. Returning to Australia in 2007\, he is now working part-time at the School of Physics\, University of Western Australia.\n\nSpeakers: Dr Barry Green LOCATION:Ross Lecture Theatre\, School of Physics\, University of WA URL:http: //events.uwa.edu.au/event/20091103T024920Z-1328-17249@events.uwa.edu.au/wh atson/publicaffairs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:P-20091009T030513Z-1127-27294@events.uwa.edu.au SEQUENCE:2 DTSTAMP:20091009T030513Z CREATED:20091009T030513Z DTSTART:20091117T184500 DTEND:20091117T230000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091009T041211Z CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:Hampton Senior High School : Year 12 Graduation ORGANIZER;CN=Mal Keene:MAILTO:mailto:katherine.greville@uwa.edu.au DESCRIPTION:Hampton Senior High School Year 12 Graduation taking place in the Octagon Theatre on 17 November 2009 at 6.45pm\n\nTickets available via Hampton SHS in November 09.

However\, research is also providing insights on how to do much better. The combination of this research with modern information technology is setting the stage for a new approach that can provide the relevant and effective science education for all students that is needed for the 21st century.\n\nIn this lecture Professor Wieman will discuss the failures of traditional educational practices\, even as used by “very good” teachers\, and the successes of some new practices and technology that characterize this more effective approach\, and how these results are highly consistent with findings from cognitive science.
