What's On at UWA

After graduating from The University of Western Australia, Professor Anthony Levitt undertook his specialty training in Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, which he completed in 1989. From 1992-2002 he was Head of the Mood Disorders Programs, initially at the Centre for Addictions and Mental (...)

This talk will address two current research topics: evolutionary ecology of dasyurid marsupials, and conservation ecology of tropical mammals. In some genera of small insect-eating marsupials but in no other mammals, escalating stress hormones during the breeding season cause immune system collapse (...)

Mass cytometry marries the resolution, specificity and sensitivity of atomic stable isotope mass spectrometry to the high-throughput, single-cell analytical advantages of flow cytometry. By substituting molecular probes conjugated with stable isotope tags for fluorescence, a large increase is (...)

2015 is the International Year of Soils. So what? It has frequently been said that soils are the thin skin on the land surface upon which terrestrial life depends and which acts as a buffer between the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere, as well as representing a significant reservoir of (...)

The Gates Foundation and its Grand Challenges partners are now accepting applications for a number of programs, including its Grand Challenges Explorations initiative, which encourages innovative and unconventional global health and development solutions.

To learn more about the (...)

The Telethon Kids Institute Wesfarmers Centre of Vaccines & Infectious Diseases invite consumers and community members to have a say on a wide range of research into childhood infectious diseases including: - Ear Health - Vaccines - Antibiotic use - Infections in pregnancy. If you have an (...)

The Symposium of WA Neuroscience (SWAN) will begin with a plenary presentation from Professor Jeffrey Rosenfeld, at 17:30 on Wednesday 8 April, at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. The meeting will continue on 9 April at the same venue, featuring four themed sessions on: (i) (...)

Heiko Lickert is a Full Professor and Chair of Beta-cell Biology in the Medical Faculty of the Technical University Munich (TUM). Professor Lickert is also Director of the Institute of Diabetes and Regeneration Research and Adjunct Professor in the Institute of Stem Cell Research at the (...)

Mid-water environments represent the largest habitable space on our planet, yet early vertebrate life evolved near the seabed of shallow seas. In order for early fishes to efficiently swim off the seabed and exploit pelagic environments, mechanisms to reduce submerged weight had to evolve. In (...)

Dear Researcher,

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre (formerly known as iVEC) is calling for applications from researchers to access time on the Petascale supercomputer - Magnus. If you are interested in using supercomputing resources for your research in 2015 - 2016, please consider (...)

Representatives from UWA's Exchange Partner institutions, returned students and faculty representatives will be there to tell you all about the fantastic opportunities they have available. Make sure your students come along to the Oak Lawn to check it out!

The Seminar: For 28 years, Mann has been studying the dolphins of Shark Bay, including tool use with marine sponges. This is one of the best-studied cases of tool-use in cetaceans. About 4% of the population regularly uses tools. This talk explains why some dolphins use tools while others do not (...)

The 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on 25 April has already claimed the lives of more than 7,000 people with an estimated eight million people affected. The Red Cross is at the forefront of the international response, sending shelter and water and sanitation specialists, setting up (...)

We have three postgraduate update talks The presenters and the topics:

Elizabeth Wiley: Group size benefits and population demographics in a cooperatively breeding passerine

Rowan Lymbery: Sexual selection on gametes: sperm-egg interactions in the marine broadcast spawner (...)

In June, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is offering a range of FREE short courses on supercomputing topics. On 8 - 9 June, the sessions are aimed at those new to supercomputing (8th), and those wanting to understand more about using our systems (9th). Later that week, we offer two days targeting (...)

The Seminar: Small airways in the distal lung were long considered a "silent zone", accounting for less than 10% of total airway resistance and contributing little to standard lung function measures. However, increasing evidence suggests that they are an important but relatively neglected (...)

Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided.

Each year The UWA Institute of Agriculture hosts a postgraduate showcase where some of UWA's best PhD students present the major highlights and outcomes of their research in agriculture and related areas. Professor Paul Johnson, UWA Vice Chancellor will give the opening address.
