Dr Mylne (PhD, Botany) worked at the John Innes Centre (2001-2005), using molecular genetics in Arabidopsis to study proteins that accelerate flowering in response to prolonged cold (vernalization). In 2006 he moved to the IMB in Brisbane where he holds an ARC QEII Fellowship (2008-2012) and is the (...)

The Seminar: The seminar will deal with the mechanisms used by T lymphocytes to penetrated CNS postcapillary vessels, studied using a murine model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The focus of the talk will be the interplay between cytokines (TNF-, IFN- (...)

Magnetic domain patterns form in perpendicularly-magnetized ultrathin films due to the combination of short-range attractive magnetic exchange interactions and long-range repulsive magnetic dipolar interactions. The dynamics of these patterns, and the domains within them, are described by the (...)

The Centre of Excellence for Ecohydrology is hosting a Nutrient Management Forum. With keynote speakers who are acknowledged experts in measuring, monitoring, modeling and management of nutrients in waterways, the forum is expected to attract participants from around Australia and from other (...)

This year the CMCA will be leading a WA-based consortium applying for funding through ARC LIEF to provide advanced X-ray micro-CT capabilities for local researchers mainly in the physical and geo-sciences.

To provide more information on the capabilities of the latest generation micro-CT (...)

Hydrological understanding is commonly synthesised into more or less complex mechanistic models, some of which have become “as inscrutable as nature itself” (Harte, 2002). Most of these models contain a number of unknown parameters, which have to be calibrated on past observations. This (...)

We live in a rapidly changing world. War and global warming mean that thousands of people worldwide are constantly crossing state boundaries or becoming stateless. Some have been stateless for generations. Australians are used to seeing the victims of the latest war or environmental tragedy on (...)

In Korban Lumpur, a recent video work by Susan Norrie and David Mackenzie, the artists have documented the devastating environmental and human tragedy caused by gas and oil drilling in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia. Rarely reported in the mainstream media, the artists will discuss the impact this (...)

The Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative assessed research quality within Australia's higher education institutions using a combination of indicators and expert review by committees comprising experienced, internationally-recognised experts. Guest speakers, including an ERA panel (...)

The Research Development Office will be presenting a seminar regarding the rules and how to write a winning application for an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.

Although more than 95% of relevant domain experts agree that human CO2 emissions are altering the world’s climate, a notable segment of the public rejects the scientific evidence. What factors contribute to this rejection? To provide a broader context for this psychological issue, I first analyze (...)
