Effectors as molecular probes to dissect selective autophagy in plants

The Monty Hall problem is a probability puzzle based on an American television game show. Some generalisations of the original problem are considered here: - The probability distribution is generalised from equal likelihood to an arbitrary known prior distribution, with the number of doors changed (...)

An exhibition featuring artwork inspired by 'Our Living Planet'. The theme emphasises that our Earth is a beautiful, living planet and that through the ingenuity and creativity of those in the UWA scientific and cultural community, it shall remain a vital and healthy home for all living things. We (...)

This workshop will cover 4 methods for analysing various groups of researchers: using a list of DOIs, searching on address, names of authors and FOR codes, and then looking at benchmarking individuals. This workshop is an overview of the basics and gives an idea of what can be done.

It is my pleasure to invite you to our upcoming event, WA - ASEAN Trade and Investment Dialogue on Friday, 16 November 2018. In partnership with the Government of Western Australia, this dialogue will feature senior government and business leaders from WA and the ASEAN region and aims to explore (...)

This unique panel discussion brings together UWA research and graduate experts, who are tackling what is arguably the most pressing issue facing our planet. Discover the latest advice and knowledge for understanding the problem and what you can do to help.

Then, join speakers and fellow (...)

The aim of this course is to introduce you to basic statistics. It will cover descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations); data exploration; basic categorical data analysis; simple linear regression and basic analysis of variance (ANOVA). The statistical package SPSS will be used to (...)

Suzanne Neville The School of Chemistry, UNSW, Australia RACI Sargeson Lecture: Molecular Switching Framework Materials

In this talk, we introduce some basics of nonlocal equations, with some applications in mind coming from physics and material sciences. In particular, the equation taken into account comes from a model, developed by Rudolf Peierls and Frank Nabarro, that describes the edge dislocation of atoms in (...)

Mineral/fluid interfaces at the atomic scale: modelling of materials and processes with potential applications in materials science

R is a free and extremely powerful language and software environment for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphics. This course is designed for those who have no experience with R, but have a basic understanding of statistics. Those without this knowledge are encouraged to attend the (...)

All are welcome to attend the Hector and Andrew Stewart Memorial Lecture, by Dr Raj Paroda.

This lecture will focus on the challenges and hurdles toward a socially, environmentally and economically sustainable development of the agriculture sector using India as a case study, offering (...)

GPB3: [G01] Simmonds Lecture Theatre - 10 am

Advanced Molecular Microscopy Symposium

Insights into T cell receptor signalling with single molecule localisation microscopy

The majority of the world's population now live in urban areas. Prof. Brendan Gleeson, University of Melbourne, has suggested that we are living in an era of homo urbanis. However, it is arguably more accurate to describe the human species as homo suburbanis, since it is the suburbs where most city (...)

Abstract: Two waves of DNA methylation reprogramming occur during mammalian embryogenesis; during preimplantation development and during primordial germ cell (PGC) formation. However, it is currently unclear how evolutionarily conserved these processes are. Here we characterize the DNA methylomes (...)

Abstract: Crystal structure prediction (CSP) can provide invaluable insight and direction for the discovery and creation of functional materials, and is a prime example of high-throughput, large scale calculations on high performance computing (HPC) systems. This talk will focus on current methods (...)
