What's On at UWA

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 (...)

Three PhD students will give talks, entitled as follows. Anne Kramer, GCTM-5: A novel marker for liver progenitor cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Thomas Iosifidis, Establishing Migration Trajectories of Primary Airway Epithelial cells during Wound Repair. Zoe White, Impact of (...)

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 framework structures of nanoporous crystals are varied and complex and the solutions from which the crystals grow a soup of hundreds of pre-nucleation species each competing for supremacy. Yet conditions can normally be found under which it is possible to prepare a pure phase where there is one (...)

The next meeting of the Faculty of Science, Women in Science group will be a morning tea. All are welcome.

The morning tea is a great opportunity to network with other scientists in an informal setting. We will be discussing the implementation of the Faculty of Science mentoring (...)

All are welcome to attend the annual Postgraduate Showcase: Frontiers in Agriculture.

The Postgraduate Showcase brings together some of UWA’s best PhD students at an advanced stage of their research. It highlights relevant research and progress being made in the area of Agriculture and (...)

Drinks, food, fireworks and science. Come and watch as our fresh, young scientists present their work at a pub event with a difference.

The ten young scientists will describe their scientific discoveries in the time it takes a party sparkler to burn out.

One hundred early-caree (...)

This course covers techniques that can be used to analyse data with continuous and categorical variables. The course will begin with simple linear regression and then proceed with approaches that can be used with more than two variables such as multiple regression. ANOVA with interactions and (...)

The density functional formalism is ubiquitous in condensed matter physics, chemistry, and materials science, and many newcomers to the field are surprised to learn that this development — particularly in chemistry — is just 25 years old. The origins go back, however, to the first days of (...)

European honey bees (Apis mellifera) are a key factor in the production of the food we consume as they pollinate more than 80 agricultural crops of interest, with an estimated value of more than US$ 200 billion each year. However throughout the past decade there has been an increased loss of honey (...)
