Biology Thursday seminar 13t Apr at 12:15 Silva Uusi-Heikkilä ”Fish populations under multiple stressors”
by Heikki Helanterä 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, sorry about multiple e-mails – some info was missing from the first message_ Biology Thursday seminar continues this week on zoom at 12:15 (link below) with Dr. Silva Uusi-Heikkilä, Univ. Jyväskylä, on ”Fish populations under multiple stressors” Silva’s work combines ecological and evolutionary experiments, mathematical models and next generation sequencing technology to study the effects human induced disturbances on fish populations, more detail at: https://www.jyu.fi/science/en/bioenv/staff-and-administration/staff/uusi-he… and https://scholar.google.fi/citations?hl=en&user=0AJDgw0AAAAJ&view_op=list_wo… Abstract: Fish populations today experience multiple human-induced stressors simultaneously, such as climate change, pollution, and fishing. Studying the phenotypic and genetic effects of these stress factors is notoriously difficult in nature. An experimental approach might therefore provide us with some answers of how size-selectively harvested (fisheries selection) populations respond to other stressors in their environment. See you online on Thursday, Heikki Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Anyone using the microplate spectrophotometer in B137 this summer?
by Kaisa-Riikka Mustonen 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Hi all, I have a big sampling campaign coming up this summer in Pallas where we have to do absorbance measurements from microplates. The plates should be analyzed approx. once per day during June, July and August. Understandably, the most convenient way would be to take the spectrophotometer to Pallas lab for the summer, as we need it daily. I have already talked about this with several of you, but as I don’t know everyone who is using the equipment, I am hoping this inquiry is reaching everyone. So, if someone is planning to do some analyses with it during the summer, please let me know, so that we can coordinate our plans! Thanks! 😊 Cheers, KaisaM. ***************************** Kaisa-Riikka Mustonen Postdoctoral Researcher Arctic Ecology and Biogeochemistry Office B238 Ecology and Genetics Research Unit University of Oulu Finland

Reminder: biology Thursday seminar today at noon: The landscape ecology of policy interventions for farmland biodiversity
by Heikki Helanterä 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, don't forget today's Biology Thursday seminar: 6th April, 12:15 in zoom (link below)! Our speaker is Assoc. Prof Johan Ekroos from Univ. Helsinki, Department of Agricultural Sciences and Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science, on “The landscape ecology of policy interventions for farmland biodiversity” Abstract: In the early 2000s, it was recognized that the general effectiveness of European agri-environment schemes to benefit farmland biodiversity could not be judged, because of a lack of robust evaluation studies. At the same time, two conceptual models on the potential effects of farmland biodiversity interventions were presented. This development sparked an enormous research activity focusing on policy interventions in agricultural landscapes. Twenty years later it is time to ask what works and what doesn’t (and to what end)? What have we learned about enhancing farmland biodiversity?" More on Johan’s research and publications at: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/people/people-finder/johan-ekroos-90665… https://scholar.google.fi/citations?view_op=list_works&hl=en&hl=en&user=lNm… See you online soon!

Yritysten sopimuksiin ja Business Finland hankkeisiin liittyviä toimenpiteitä siirtynyt Innovaatiokeskukselle / Company-funded agreements and Business Finland funding information have been trensferred
by Maria Juurikka 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Muutoksen taustalla on halu keskittää yritysyhteistyötä innovaatiokeskukseen, mikä mahdollistaa yliopistolle paremman näkymän yritysyhteistyöhön tiedekuntarajojen yli. Innovaatiokeskus on ottanut kokonaisvastuun Business Finland rahoituksen tiedottamiseen ja hankkeiden valmisteluun liittyen. Rahoitushauista tiedotamme Innovaatiokeskuksen uutiskirjeessä ja Patiossa. Koko tiimimme ohjaa haettavia hankkeita. Lisätietoa löydät Patiosta: Tutkimuksen tuki sivuilta https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/tutkimuksen-tuki/rahoituslahtee… ja Yhteistyö ja innovaatiot sivuilta https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/yhteistyo-ja-innovaatiot/yritys… Oulun yliopiston toimivaltaa sitoutua erilaisiin sopimuksiin koskien yritysten rahoittamia tilaustutkimussopimuksia, Business Finland -hankesopimuksia sekä muita yritysten kanssa solmittavia sopimuksia (esim. NDAt, sponsorointisopimukset, aiesopimukset ) on päivitetty 28.2.2023. Muutoksen myötä kyseiset sopimukset allekirjoitetaan jatkossa innovaatiokeskuksen sopimusasiantuntijan ja tiedekunnan dekaanin toimesta. Löydät päivitetyn toimivaltadokumentin täältä: https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/henkilosto/esihenkilolle/toimiv… Jatkossa yhteydenotot yrityksiin liittyvissä sopimusasioissa voi toimittaa osoitteeseen contracts(a)oulu.fi<mailto:contracts@oulu.fi> ja cc:ksi sopimusasiantuntija Anne Orava Anne.Orava(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Anne.Orava@oulu.fi> sekä lakimies Sanna.Kivijarvi(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Sanna.Kivijärvi@oulu.fi>. ___________________________________________ The reason behind the change is the desire to concentrate business cooperation in the Innovation Centre, which enables the university to have a better view of business cooperation across faculty boundaries. The Innovation Centre has taken overall responsibility for Business Finland funding information and project preparation. We inform about funding applications in the Innovation Centre's newsletter and Patio. Our entire team guides the projects to be applied for.
