13 May '25

Tiedoksi: Opintopalvelut on tuonut tilaan B208 (G4-portaikko, 2. krs, Avaruusfysiikan ja tähtitieteen tutkimusyksikön tilat) silppurin, joka on koko tiedekunnan käytössä yksittäisten dokumenttien tuhoamiseen. Huomiona, että jatkossakin isommat määrät tuhottavia dokumentteja viedään virastomestareille, jotta silppurin kapasiteetti riittää. For your information: Study Services has brought a shredder into the room B208 (G4 staircase, 2nd floor, Space Physics and Astronomy Research Unit premises), which is available to the entire faculty for shredding individual documents. Please note, however, that larger quantities of shreddable documents must still be taken to the reception service point in Linnanmaa central hall.

Open call online form<https://arcticmayors.com/our-work/mentorship-program/appl-cohort-2-2025/> Mentorship Program webpage<https://arcticmayors.com/our-work/mentorship-program/> Arctic Mayors’ Forum Mentorship Program The mentorship program is established as part of the 2024-2027 EU funded project “Youth Together for Arctic Futures”. The Arctic Mayors´ Forum Secretariat coordinates the mentorship program. The program has also received additional support through GALI funding. The second cohort of up to 8 pairs begins September 2025 and continues for 18-months. The in-person kick-off event will be held in Yellowknife, Canada, September 9-10, 2025. The application is an online form where a short motivational letter will be required as well as a reference letter. The application deadline is May 30 23:59 (CEST). Who are we looking for as mentees? We are looking for enthusiastic young people 18-35 who have lived experience in the Arctic or are interested in working on Arctic issues. Mentees should be able to demonstrate their commitment to the Arctic region and Arctic peoples. No experience is required, but we encourage anyone interested in policy development, advocacy, or communications in the Arctic region to apply. The program coordinators will pair each mentee with an appropriate mentor in one of these fields based on the interests and experiences of the mentee. We encourage people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, and abilities to apply. Participants must be able to participate in discussions and activities in English. Mentees must be a national or resident of an Arctic or EU country. About The goal of the program is to connect early-career Arctic and European youth aged 18-35 with mentors across Arctic communities in the fields of Arctic policy development, advocacy, and communications. The aim is to provide youth with the experiences and tools they need to effectively advocate for policy changes on issues important to the livelihoods of youth in the Arctic and in Europe. Program in brief During the program participants will join both in-person and digital networking events. A deliverable will also be produced in each mentor/mentee pair which will boost mentor/mentee portfolios and can lead to further networking opportunities. This deliverable could include a conference session, academic paper, video, or a series of social media posts.

Hi all, The Ask Me! campaign concerns not only tutor teachers but the whole university community. I encourage everyone in our Unit to participate! Have a good week, Lumi ________________________________ Lähettäjä: lutk-omaopettajat-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi <lutk-omaopettajat-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi> käyttäjän Johanna Aromaa <johanna.aromaa(a)oulu.fi> puolesta Lähetetty: maanantai 12. toukokuuta 2025 9.14 Vastaanottaja: omaopettajat(a)lists.oulu.fi <omaopettajat(a)lists.oulu.fi> Aihe: [Lutk-omaopettajat] [Omaopettajat] The Ask Me! campaign welcomes new students to the University of Oulu – Join Us! Dear Tutor Teacher, In autumn 2025, the University of Oulu will organise the Ask Me! campaign for the first time. The aim of the campaign is to give new students a warm welcome to our university community. During the campaign, new students can easily approach a more experienced student or a staff member to ask questions. The campaign is easy to recognize by the pink Ask Me! logo, visible from mid-August to the end of September on both the Linnanmaa and Kontinkangas campuses – and across the university’s communication channels. We warmly invite all tutor teachers – and the entire university community – to join the campaign! ❤️ You can sign up for the campaign here<https://link.webropol.com/s/askme> As a tutor teacher you play an important role in supporting new students as they begin their studies. You're likely to receive many questions from them. You don’t need to have all the answers – it’s enough to take a moment to listen and help the student find the right direction together. As a campaign participant, you’ll receive: * a ready-made list of typical questions new students might ask * helpful tips on student services – useful for you, too! * and in addition to a good feeling, a joint surprise event to thank all participants Campaign period: 14 August – 30 September 2025 You can wear the badge whenever it suits your schedule. After the campaign, badges will be returned to collection boxes on campus. Do you have any questions?

Reminder: Biology Thursday seminar: Jenni Prokkola on physiological and evolutionary impacts of heatwaves on Atlantic salmon
by Heikki Helanterä 07 May '25

07 May '25

A reminder: Biology Thursday seminar continues on site in room MA335, Thu 8th May 12:15, with Dr. Jenni Prokkola, Academy Research fellow, Natural Resources Institute Finland , on " Our precious in peril: physiological and evolutionary impacts of heatwaves on Atlantic salmon" Heatwaves have devastating effects on aquatic organisms and ecosystems. The challenges of understanding heatwave-related fitness costs are exacerbated in diadromous species, such as Atlantic salmon, due to their complex life cycles, and already widespread population declines. I will discuss the physiological capacity of salmon to cope with heatwaves and its potential genetic associations to life-history variation.
