What's On at UWA

LinkedIn is the little black book of resourcing, this is where we go as Recruiters to find out a little bit more about you in the work world. LinkedIn helps us to create a storyline about you and your personal brand, in the olden days it used to be about having a great resume, now your resume is (...)

The Seminar: Some forms of smooth muscle show a property known as 'catch', where force production is maintained even though intracellular Ca2+ (the trigger for muscle contraction) drops back to very low levels. Skeletal muscle has also been reported to display a 'catch-like' enhanced contractile (...)

Semi-finals from 9.15 - 12.00. Finals from 3-5pm.

Sexual selection is generally thought to promote divergence between populations and potentially also lead to reproductive isolation (i.e., speciation), but the behavioral mechanisms underlying this generally are not well understood. We are exploring these mechanisms in populations of the red-backed (...)

UWA Farm Ridgefield near Pingelly will open its doors to the wider community at the 2015 Field Day on Friday, 11 September.

The 1600-hectare farm is home to the Future Farm 2050 Project, a multidisciplinary project undertaking research into best practice farming techniques for the future (...)

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can induce functionally relevant plasticity in the human cortex. While there is great potential for these protocols to be used therapeutically in a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, clinical applicability is currently limited by high response (...)

Hudson will deliver a session that will give you the chance to explore and learn about Assessment Centres including how they are used, what to expect and how to make the most out them.

You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions related to: typical activities in an assessment (...)

NMR spectroscopy finds its most prominent applications in structural biology and systems biology. Structural biology is a well-travelled realm, but NMR-based metabolomics and the application of NMR in systems biology are relatively new and less known lands. This presentation will touch on various (...)

Building upon the theoretical concepts that underpin this still youthful and dynamic discipline, this unit broadens and extends understanding of the practica application of advanced modern epidemiological principles. Current issues in epidemiology will be presented, with particular emphasis on (...)

From the odd to the mundane, new forms of life are emerging in labs, workshops and studios. With the promise of exploitation for health and wealth we are seeing life as it previously never existed, albeit smothered in hyperbole, rhetoric and speculation. How do cultures such as Indigenous Australia (...)

The Careers Boot Camp will get you ready for employment! Brush up your networking skills, update your resume and get tips to help you find a job.

All students welcome to attend.

The Seminar: Diet as a preventative tool or for health improvement is not new, but the effect of diet or diet components on the gut microbiota is still poorly understood. The understanding of such effects is becoming ever more important as the gut microbiota's effect on host health becomes more (...)

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy may not be the first technique on your list for understanding ligand-target interactions but it is a powerful approach that is capable of monitoring and understanding interactions at the atomic level. This presentation outlines two on-going projects (...)

This presentation will address selected case studies applied to a range of different problems of relevance to materials science, catalysis, environmental applications or pharmaceutical and petroleum industries, difficult to solve by other solid-state characterisation tools. The presentation is (...)

Stem cells rely on, and are finely tuned to respond to, their immediate microenvironment, which can be exceedingly complex. Biomaterials must present cells with finely tuned mechanical cues to systematically examine their control over development or pathological insults. In this talk I will (...)

The GeneMappers conference has traditionally focused on novel concepts for the genetic dissection of common complex human diseases. This year the emphasis of the conference will be on exploring these themes in detail, with a particular focus on the contemporary methods and techniques that will take (...)

Can whoever gets this email please contact Kelly McManus so we can figure out who the event approvers for animal biology are!

Unfortunately this event has been cancelled.

Information on ecosystem services has often been unavailable at the site scale, where most land-use decisions are made. Thus there is an urgent need for simple, and yet robust protocols for assessing ecosystem services that are adaptable to a wide range of sites, are replicable over time, and are (...)

Dr Renee Firman is interested in why male mice emit ultrasonic vocalisations (which have been described to be synonymous to bird songs) when they encounter females. Her talk will explore current evidence that suggests that females use male vocalisations to assess the compatibility and quality of (...)
