Kurssilabra B132/ Course lab B132
by Lumi Viljakainen 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Hei, Kurssilabrasta B132 lainataan jatkuvasti tavaraa (fuugeja ja nyt jopa pipettejä), joita ei palauteta ajallaan takaisin, jolloin kurssin aikana opettajat joutuvat metsästämään tavaroita muista labroista. Nyt kurssille tilattuja pipettejä löytyi mikrobilabrasta ja molelabrasta, ja kaksi 0,5-10 ul pipettiä on vielä hukassa. Aikaisemmin kurssilabrasta on saanut lainata tavaraa, mikäli ilmoittaa kuka on lainannut, mitä ja milloin. Tätä käytäntöä ei ole noudatettu, joten jatkossa kurssilabrasta B132 EI SAA lainata pipettejä, kemikaaleja tai laitteita. -- Do not borrow devices, chemicals or pipettes from the course lab B132! Best wishes, Lumi

Reminder: Biology Thu Seminar today, Simone Immler: Haploid gametic selection in animals and its evolutionary consequences
by Heikki Helanterä 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, a reminder: today's Biology Thursday seminar, 19th Nov, 12:15 (zoom link below), will be given by Dr. Simone Immler, University of East Anglia, UK, on "Haploid gametic selection in animals and its evolutionary consequences" Biphasic life cycles with alternating diploid and haploid gametic phases are a traits shared by all sexually reproducing eukaryotes. Selection occurring during - even a short - haploid gametic phase may have substantial consequences for a wide range of biological processes including adaptation, inbreeding depression and sex chromosome evolution. While in plants, selection in haploid gametes is well established, in animals, the idea has remained largely untested. This is somewhat surprising given that particularly male gametes (sperm) are generally produced in large numbers but only few fertilise an egg offering an ideal opportunity for selection to act upon. We tested for selection on the haploid sperm genome in the zebrafish combining selection experiments with transcriptome and genome sequencing. We found clear evidence that the haploid sperm genome is more than just a silenced genome and selection at this stage has major fitness consequences for the following generations. See also: https://simoneimmler.com/about/ See you soon, Heikki PS. There are still seminar slots open before Christmas - if you have suggestions for speakers let me know! I'm also starting to compile the program for the spring semester as well - all suggestions appreciated! Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Need for CHNS-O Analyzer or similar?
by Petri Sundqvist 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hello, I am asking how many in bioposti/biolaitos are currently using a CHNS-O analyzer or similar device in their research (bought as an external service), or would be using it if such device would be in Ecology and Genetics. If you are interested in these kind of devices, would you kindly message me an estimate of how many samples would you need to analyze annually (and at what price are you analyzing them if you currently buy them from outside) and we could try to work something out if enough participants present their interest. If I’m able to gather enough participants, I could arrange a Zoom/Teams to discuss this matter further. BR, Petri Sundqvist

Horizon Europe overview - How to write a winning proposal 19.11 at 9-14, Virtualtellus https://oulu.zoom.us/j/64805604434, Register here<https://site.evenium.net/31qxb9mq/registration>! EU´s next framework programme for research and innovation 2021-2027 Horizon Europe is about to start and the first funding calls will open around March 2021. Research Support Services has provided a bunch of training for researchers involving national experts, EU specialists and successful EU-project researchers. This session will be held by LGI consulting<http://lgi-consulting.com/>. LGI has a vast experience with EU funding from the last 15 years and has access to hundreds of proposals and evaluation reports. The training will give you a shortcut to all that information, without having to spend 15 years applying for funding! Training is open for all researchers, whether you are just turning your interest in EU projects or has already experienced in EU-level. Programme 9:00-9:15 Opening words Teija Kekonen the Director of Research Support Services in University of Oulu 9:15-11:00 Horizon Europe overview Part I, Closer look in programme and project types Gábor Szendrő the Head of Innovation Funding and Project Management in LGI consulting 11:00-12:00 Lunch Break 12:00-14:00 Horizon Europe overview Part II, Preparing researchers to write a successful proposal Gábor Szendrő the Head of Innovation Funding and Project Management in LGI consulting Patio: https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/node/2260 Horizon Europe - Workshop: Decoding calls for proposals and building a mock proposal 20.11 at 9-14:30, Virtualtellus https://oulu.zoom.us/j/64805604434 , Register here<https://site.evenium.net/31qxb9mq/registration> DL for registration is 17.11! Trainer: Gábor Szendrő the Head of Innovation Funding and Project Management in LGI consulting Programme 9:00-11:00 Decoding calls for proposals Calls for proposals can be complex, and hundreds of hours of work depend on your ability to decode them properly. In order to do that, you need to have an understanding of the policy landscape, as well as a structure and way of thinking to be able to “crash-test” your idea for a project. This workshop will be a hands-on exercise to improve your skill in this area. 11:00-12:00 Lunch break 12:00-14:30 Building a mock proposal Setting up a proposal is a project in itself with deliverables, milestones, partners and lots of time spent. Getting so many people with different backgrounds, motivations and understanding of the concept to work together efficiently can be a daunting task. This workshop will have you set up a proposal and help you to get a better grip on some of the key aspects suchs as setting up a consortium, SMART KPIs, barriers, risks, budgeting, etc. Patio: https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/tapahtumat/horizon-europe-workshop-decoding-calls-… Horizon Europe - QA Anything! 26.11 at 9-11:30, Virtualtellus https://oulu.zoom.us/j/64805604434. No pre-registration needed! QA Ask Anything! After the plenary <https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/node/2260> presentation and the two workshops,<https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/tapahtumat/horizon-europe-workshop-decoding-calls-…> the trainer will be at your disposal for any questions on 26.11 at 9:00-11:30 in Virtual Tellus! Please do not hesitate to bring specific experiences, calls you’re working on, and use this time to get personalized advice. Patio: https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/tapahtumat/horizon-europe-qa-anything
