16:00 - SEMINAR - Animal mirrors and mirror optics : This seminar is part of the Centre for Water Research seminar series.
|
More Information
|
Animals are often highly reflective - the skin of silvery fish and the eye shine of a cat are familiar examples. But animals make mirrors in a way very different from us: they cannot deposit metal films and, instead, rely on arranging stacks of transparent materials to make their reflectors.
16:00 - SEMINAR - CMCA Seminar Series:"Hacking the Environment of Living Cells"
|
More Information
|
Living cells possess an exquisite ability to sense and respond to physical information in their microenvironment. This ability plays a key role in many fundamentally important physiological and pathological processes. I will describe our work utilizing a variety of strategies to use physical cues (...)

|
Website |
More Information
|
Over tens of thousands of years, soils gradually lose plant nutrients, especially phosphorus (P). This long-term process of soil formation, which strongly influences vegetation and ecosystem processes, can only be studied by using natural gradients of soil age – also called ‘soil (...)

18:00 - PUBLIC LECTURE - Conservation of Highly Migratory Marine Species: The Need to Integrate Physiology, Behavior and Ecology : Oceans Institute Public Lecture by Daniel Costa
|
More Information
|
The conservation of upper trophic level marine vertebrates presents some unique challenges in that they can migrate over great distances, in some cases covering entire ocean basins. A critical component to their conservation is to assess their home range. However, this is only a first step, as (...)

18:00 - EVENT - Raine Lecture: Testing the Limits of the Human Brain : Public Lecture presented by Professor Phil Ainslie
|
Website |
More Information
|
Relative to its size, the brain is the most oxygen-dependent organ in the body, but many pathophysiological and environmental processes may either cause or result in an interruption to its oxygen supply. Remarkable feats, however, have been achieved where the human brain has survived extremely low (...)
