What's On at UWA

As practising scientists, we all know that every measurement we make is subject to uncertainty - and we also all know that there are a whole set of protocols that have been developed to help you quantify that uncertainty and help you make decisions about and present your data. These tools are (...)

Join us for the mLEARNING SUMMIT, the main event for the mLearning Month (September 2016) hosted by the Centre for Education Futures.

The mLearning Summit will be featuring our own Professor Gilly Salmon addressing the role of mobile learning in blended education.

Australian and New Zealand research on the economics of natural resource management (NRM) has a relatively short history. Defining NRM as including water, agricultural land, marine renewable resources, nature conservation and forestry, 65% of all Australasian journal articles in the area have been (...)

UWA Staff are invited to join Mark Bailye (Blackboard) and Centre for Education Futures staff for this active workshop to explore how technological tools can support the UWA Policy on Assessment, and enhance good assessment and feedback practice. This session will help you get the most out of (...)

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is seeking to prepare for losses arising from climate change. This is an emerging issue that challenges climate science and policy to engage more deeply with values, places, and people’s experiences. Drawing on a collaborative WUN (...)

The debates around the 2006 Stern Review on the economics of climate change have been shifting their focus in conjunction with a renewed flurry of activity in the area of decision-making under uncertainty. New ideas are influencing the design of economic experiments as well as the interpretation of (...)

The Seminar: The neuropeptide kisspeptin and its receptor, KiSS1R, govern the reproductive timeline of mammals. Previous studies pointed to their central role to maintain fertility by triggering puberty onset and promoting ovulation by stimulating gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion (...)

Next Wed26 October at 5:30pm we will be having a free wonderful event focused on promoting UN World Food Day and UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 to ' End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition plus promoting sustainable agriculture' from a WA perspective.

Here is the (...)

Research indicates the provision of video feedback on student assessments results in an overwhelmingly positive impact on engagement, performance and overall perception of the unit and its coordinator. Join Learning Technologists Liberty Cramer and Michelle Bunting from the Centre for Education (...)

Successful PhD supervision requires the management of numerous milestones together with ongoing documentation of meetings, research outputs and supervisor feedback. Regular communication among the student, individual supervisors and other relevant bodies is critical to the process. This (...)

Pluripotent (embryonic) stem cells have long been an elusive target for livestock as they were seen as the exclusive route for effecting precise genome editing. The first generation of cattle and reprogrammed sheep induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from our lab raised exciting possibilities to realise (...)

55th Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) National Scientific Conference

“NEXT-GENERATION HEALTHCARE: MERGING BIOLOGY & TECHNOLOGY”

November 13-15, 2016 – Bond University, Gold Coast

Look beyond disciplinary boundaries and join us at NSC 2016 for (...)

Everyone is warmly invited to the Joint Physics and Mathematics Colloquium.

Title: "Dualities in Mathematics and Physics"

Abstract: In this talk I will review some geometric analogues of the Fourier transform, which arise in String Theory under the name of ‘dua (...)

Valuing natural capital is fundamental to measuring sustainability of natural resources and environmental assets. An appropriate conceptual framework and practical measurement techniques do not currently exist to quantify and measure natural capital assets and ecosystem services on farms in an (...)

Without Nitrogen fertilizers there would be approximately two billion fewer people alive today, yet massive use of such fertilizers in many areas is compromising human health and natural ecosystems, and challenging the sustainability of modern agriculture.

The UWA three-day ConocoPhillips Science Experience is a wonderful opportunity for current year 9 and 10 students to participate in hands-on workshops, meet knowledgeable and enthusiastic scientists and current students, get to know others with an interest in STEM fields, experience what it’s (...)

Longitudinal studies of populations have achieved significant results, for example the long-running study of the health of residents of Bunbury. So far however there have not been any economics equivalents. There is therefore very little knowledge about the way subjective economic variables change (...)

Since the mid 1980’s a limited number of Australian studies have reported the economic value of Australia’s managed and wild honeybee pollinators. Only a few of these studies reported the correct economic value while the bulk of the remainder reported various financial values, including the (...)

Although Vietnam is among the world’s leading rice producers, rice farm incomes remain low. This is partly explained by the inefficient use or allocation of resources. This study aims to investigate the determinants of these inefficiencies and identify solutions that have the potential to enhance (...)
