Yearly lab cleanup date
by Petri Sundqvist 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

Hello Everybody, Here is the long promised calendar voting link for the yearly lab cleanup, which will be arranged on the last two weeks of September: https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=dzJVegtsQJ23KIzT I will close this vote in 7 days on 13th of September, which is next weeks Wednesday. This year we will focus on Molecular Labs, Cardboard Box Storage (which is the second floor storage near microbe laboratory) and Multipurpose laboratory (where I sit nowadays). We will be printing a blueprint of the molecular labs where every user can reserve the table space of molecular lab corridors/slots for your group a few weeks at a time. This way we can maximize the use of table space which has been running low. We are also asking for every group who works in the molecular labs to join the cleanup day, because we have to clear the cabins and shelves of long term storage items and move those to the cardboard box storage, or the more often used things to the storage next to deep freezer room. We are also hoping to transfer all the empty pipette tip boxes to cardboard box storage, since they need to be refilled in order to be valuable in the laboratory. We also encourage everybody to go through the Cardboard Box Storage and renew the names and dates on the boxes. If the date is older than 2 years, the boxes will be evaluated by our lab people, taken to common use (which might mean keeping them in storage for future) or discarded if there is nothing valuable there. Currently there are quite many boxes labelled to year 2021 so after the turn of year 2024 they will be evaluated. We will also be cleaning the Multipurpose laboratory. We will be placing all the unmarked stuff that is stored here also in cardboard boxes and transfer them into the cardboard box storage. The boxes will be labelled Multipurpose Lab and the labels will not be renewed in the coming years, so if you have a feeling your stuff is here, please join the laboratory cleaning day. BR, Petri Sundqvist

Fw: Film Screening and Discussion : The Forest's Archipelago - Mon 18th of March 16-19:00 - CinemANTS
by Clement Masse 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Welcome to Finland's first screening of 'The Forest's Archipelago', featuring biologists from the University of Oulu! It is followed by a panel and open discussion with the filmmaker, forest owner and researchers. More details and registration link<https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/0E1FD7D8B235804B> below: Here is the teaser: https://vimeo.com/873275679 [cid:2982c27b-6455-4751-8cef-6f173c0fe698] ________________________________ 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: Sunday, 25 February 2024 19:58 To: ants(a)lists.oulu.fi <ants(a)lists.oulu.fi> Subject: [Biodiverse Anthropocenes] CinemANTS: The Forest's Archipelago on the 18th of March 4-7pm, premier of a local documentary film Dear all, Please join us this second semester for CinemANTS! A fantastic series of film screenings, documentary-making workshops, and discussions about the relevance and impact of the cinematic arts in and on science in the Anthropocene era. We now invite you to join us for the next event in our CinemANTS series on the 18th of March 4-7pm in LO124 Areena. We are screening the The Forest's Archipelago, a documentary film by Clément Couturier and Caroline Lelievre, after which there will be a panel discussion with one of the filmmakers, researchers, and featured forest owner. This is the film's premier in Finland. This documentary has been shot last year in Oulu area and in the national park Iso-Syöte with the participation of Oulu University researchers. Finland is an ocean Forest. Most of it are well-aligned trees. In there, encompassing small patches of isolated old-growth forests with biodiversity. These sanctuaries form an archipelago of fragile, precious islands. But on these islands, the life is difficult for animal species such as the Siberian flying squirrel or the willow tit to survive as their ecosystems shrink due to clear-cutting and land use. Fortunately, Finns are becoming aware of the situation inherited from the past, and a new generation of small forest owners are rethinking how the forest is used. Watch the teaser here: https://vimeo.com/873275679 Panellist: Clément Couturier, Stefan Prost, Gerrit Wehrenberg, Katri Kurkela, Markku Orrell, Emma Vatka, and Kaisu Koivumäki Date and time: 18th of March, 16:00-19:00 Location: LO124 Areena, Linnanmaa Campus Register here: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/0E1FD7D8B235804B Open to all – but please register if you would like to have some food and drinks during the event! Cinema is a powerful medium for the exploration of the changing human-environment relations at a time of biodiversity and ecological crises. The CinemANTS series takes us on a journey across styles and geographies to reflect on how we can use the moving image to celebrate the enchantment of the natural world, express the grief in its loss, and find a different way of living in the changing lands and landscapes. Organized as part of the Biodiverse Anthropocenes programme, CinemANTS brings renowned documentary makers to Oulu to share their vision and expertise. We hope to see you there!

Hi all, in Friday's unit meeting we discussed that Kaisu Koivumäki from the university communications department was willing to visit us - but unfortunately the date she suggested overlapped with Reetta's defence. So Kaisu kindly agreed to visit us already 1st of March, with the aim to inspire us to science communication and media cooperation with a 20 min presentation and following discussion and time for our questions! This will happen on site, in the coffee room, but we'll open a zoom connection as well! See you there!
