Hi all, Please, find below a reminder about a cool upcoming event from ANTS to share experiences about the field work 🙂 Kind wishes, Katya ________________________________ From: ants-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi <ants-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi> on behalf of Mathilde van den Berg <Mathilde.vandenBerg(a)oulu.fi> Sent: Wednesday, October 5, 2022 2:34 PM To: ants(a)lists.oulu.fi <ants(a)lists.oulu.fi>; 'hutk.henkilokunta(a)lists.oulu.fi' <hutk.henkilokunta(a)lists.oulu.fi> Subject: [Biodiverse Anthropocenes] Last chance audience registration I Know What You Did Last Summer Dear people, This is a gentle reminder to register as audience for our I Know What You Did Last Summer conference (October 14th) if you have not already done so and would like to participate. Please register via the Google Form below before the 10th of October. See for more details and the program the email below! On behalf of Biodiverse Anthropocenes, Mathilde van den Berg Dear (future) community members of Biodiverse Anthropocenes, Audience registrations are now open for our 2nd I Know What You Did Last Summer conference on the 14th of October! (15:00 -17:45 in the University of Oulu’s Science Garden) We are looking much forward to sharing this exciting event with you, in which researchers from Environmental humanities and social sciences, Evolutionary biology, Environmental engineering, (Contemporary) Archaeology, Aquatic ecology, Cultural anthropology, Biology and Environmental microbiology will share their experiences and insights from their summer’s fieldwork. There will also be much room for discussions and questions, and we hope to bring together a varied audience from different disciplines to exchange and discuss ideas, and to socialize. We are delighted to announce that we have 10 contributions from 11 speakers in our program, in which each presentation is up to 10 minutes. Please see the program below for more details. If you would like to register as audience, please fill in this webform: https://forms.gle/XrWHtHhic98s8m57A ! We only have room for 25 people in the audience, and slots will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. ! The event is free of charge and includes beverages and a catered dinner. Please feel free to contact Mathilde van den Berg (Mathilde.vandenberg(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Mathilde.vandenberg@oulu.fi>) with any questions you might have. Best wishes, Mathilde van den Berg, Affiliated Doctoral Researcher, Biodiverse Anthropocenes Program 15:00 Start event in the University of Oulu’s Botanical Garden (Science Garden room Exhibition Space) Introduction to the event – Mathilde van den Berg Veera Kinnunen from Environmental humanities and social sciences will acquaint us with food waste fermentation through the bokashi composting method. Last summer she investigated collective efforts of making bokashi and taking care of waste – and the earth, mainly with the permaculture community garden in Rovaniemi. Heikki Helanterä from Evolutionary Biology gives us a presentation about the variation in size and organization in ant societies ranging from territorially aggressive single nest societies to super colonies. He looks at the variation in this fundamental social feature in Formica exsecta both in Southern Finland and in Northern Lapland. Tuuli Matila from Contemporary archaeology horses around at Nazi stables and introduces us to her excavations of last summer done at a WWII site in Oulu. The excavations of the military barracks focused especially on the lodgings of Nazi troops and related structures, like the stables where horses were kept during the war. Jussi Jyväsjarvi from Aquatic ecology introduces us to the question whether land use obscures the effects of habitat heterogeneity on stream biodiversity. He presents two co-related projects from the summer of 2022, which both focus on the effects of peatland restoration in improving the status of habitat-restored streams. Marjo Juola from Archaeology talks to us about her fieldwork trip to a haunting but aesthetically pleasing old factory. This summer’s fieldwork excursion led her to Kajaani Renforsin ranta to photograph, explore, and capture the liminal space of this abandoned place. In this presentation she will explore these images more deeply. 16:15-16:45 - Break (food and beverages) Rishikesh Raut from Environmental engineering circumnavigated Finland by bicycle as a means of drawing attention to local issues of environmental change and biodiversity loss. The expedition trip shows that in our quest for accumulating scientific knowledge, attention must be paid to the mystical, the sublime and the unexplainable. Marko Mutanen, Niina Kiljunen & Marko Prous from Biology give a presentation on last summer’s entomological expedition to Utsjoki, Lapland. Coordinated by the Finnish expert group of Hymenoptera, they studied, mapped, and collected Arctic sawflies for a book under preparation and discovered many missing samples. Aki Hakonen from Archaeology will make a confession to us about him being a stoner (not that kind). In recent years he has become more enthralled by stone and how this microcosm opens a vast array of possibilities. He takes us through (his) transformations by stone, rock, and landscapes of stone. Francisca Prieto Fernández from Environmental microbiology introduces us to pollutant recycler bacteria. During her field trip of this September to Svalbard she studied metal-associated microbial communities from contaminated sites and compared them to data from Northern Finland. Hannu I. Heikkinen from Cultural anthropology will talk to us about get-togethers in elementary schools and dance floors for ‘Nuijamies’. He focuses on his initial experiences on local collaborations in a project "Co-planning of land use sector climate change mitigation in the Kiiminkijoki river catchment" (MATKI). 17:45 End of formal part of the event 18:00 Pub-quiz and drinks in pub Kuutio (Kaijonharju)

03 Oct '22

Hi, see below for information on PhD grants for coastal/marine research at Tvärminne Zoological Station! Cheers, Heikki From: owner-eko-evo(a)helsinki.fi <owner-eko-evo(a)helsinki.fi> On Behalf Of Norkko, Joanna T Sent: perjantai 30. syyskuuta 2022 17.17 Subject: OPEN CALL - Onni Talas Foundation PhD grants for 2023 Hi! The Onni Talas Foundation has opened the call for grants for the calendar year 2023. The foundation supports marine research projects at Tvärminne Zoological Station, University of Helsinki, particularly concerning coastal environments. The applicants can be at the final stages of their MSc studies (then the grant period starts after receiving the degree) or PhD students. Funding is applied for annually, but a timetable and estimated budget for the whole project should be included in the application. The personal grant is 2200 € per month, including a compulsory pension insurance fee that the student has to pay (https://www.mela.fi/en/grant-and-scholarship-recipients). The foundation also funds well-justified research expenses, such as travel, boat and laboratory costs at Tvärminne, consumables, and publication costs (one open access article á 1500 € per PhD thesis). The foundation does not fund personal computers. The deadline for applications is 7.11.2022 and the applications are submitted using the form attached to this email. A popular summary of the research plan (max. 200 words), a research plan (max. 5 pages), a budget and a short CV should be attached to the application. The whole PhD plan and timetable should be presented. While the funding is granted for one year at a time, four years will be funded, provided that the project is progressing well. Applicants applying for continued funding thus have to include a progress report. For more information, please contact me at joanna.norkko(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:joanna.norkko@helsinki.fi> Kind regards, Joanna Norkko ************************************* Dr. Joanna Norkko, research coordinator & local station leader Tvärminne Zoological Station University of Helsinki J.A.
