Workshop today - log in Howspace
by Henrika Honkanen 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

Hi all, This afternoon, a workshop on national biology education cooperation will be held. Welcome! For this, there is a Howspace workspace where questions will be discussed during the workshop. Please log in to the Howspace workspace before the workshop and bring your laptop! Even if you can’t join in the afternoon, you can still log in and share your ideas in the Howspace workspace. Link to Howspace: https://biologian-koulutusverkosto.in.howspace.com/tervetuloa-biologian-kan… There are two login options: SSO-login or entering your email address to receive the login link. Howspace is in Finnish, but you can change the language settings as shown in the image below. The translation is available in several languages, and you can respond in the language of your choice. You can view the questions in Howspace now, but you won't be able to answer them until this afternoon. If you can't log in, let me know!

FW: Väikkäripaikka Lukessa
by Anna-Maria Pirttilä 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

Lukessa on väikkärintekijän paikka mikromuoveja tutkivassa Akatemiahankkeessa. We are searching a PhD researcher for project unravelling the effect of microplastics on plant and soil health. The PhD candidate will work intensively in labs within international research environment under the mentorship of leading experts in the field. We are living in a plastic age. Since 1950s humans created more than 8 billion tons of plastic (nowadays 200-300 million tons per year). In agriculture plastics are used to improve crop protection and plant performance. However, these plastics due to degradation provide micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) to the soil. MNPs are recently recognized as a potential threat to living organisms, biodiversity, and agricultural eco-system functioning, leading to planned restrictions by the European Commission. However, we still do not understand how MNPs are affecting plants and C and nutrient cycling in the soil. Would you like to join the team aiming to unravel the effect of MNPs on plant yield and soil C and nutrient cycles? We are looking for a PhD student to join multidisciplinary (biogeochemistry, microbiology, plant biochem-istry) plant-soil-microbe-MNPs interaction group in Luke. This position is an excellent opportunity to develop a scientific career and work with leading groups in the field across Europe. The person will be involved in ongoing projects studying effect of MNPs on plant and soil health.

Hei, We will have presentations of our Research Unit's research groups for bachelor and master students on Thursday February 20th from 9.15-11.30 at Tellus Backstage. The first two hours are reserved for presentations and the final half an hour for free discussion. Every research group should select a person who presents the whole group at the event. Each group has 5 minutes time to present very basic information on the group including the name of the group, main research questions and organisms, members of the group and if you like, a brief summary of a recent finding. If you want to use slides, please send them to me so I can arrange one presentation including all the slides. Please let me know by Friday January 31st who from your group will present at the event and send me your slides by Monday February 17th. Best wishes, Lumi
