24 Aug '23

Hei, Many thanks to all who participated in the AI discussion yesterday! I have summarized the main points of the discussion in the attached file. The library published guidelines for using AI only yesterday, the links are on the last page of the attached file. I will write a draft of guidelines/policy regarding the use of AI in the Biology degree and master's programmes. I will then send it to all of you for comments and/or edits. If you have any useful material, e.g. videos on how to use ChatGPT efficiently in teaching and learning or links to useful AI software, please send it to me or even better, to this list (biolaitos(a)oulu.fi). Best wishes, Lumi

We are in the fight of our lives. And we are losing. Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator. The war in Ukraine, other conflicts, have caused so much bloodshed and violence and have had dramatic impacts all over the world. But we cannot accept that our attention is not focused on climate change. We must of course work together to support peace efforts and end the tremendous suffering. But climate change is on a different timeline, and a different scale. It is the defining issue of our age. It is the central challenge of our century. It is unacceptable, outrageous and self-defeating to put it on the back burner". Antonio Guterres, UN SECRETARY-GENERAL, Speech at opening of COP27, Sharm El-Sheikh, 7 November 2022

REMINDER: Using AI in teaching and learning
by Lumi Viljakainen 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Hei all, This is a kind reminder of tomorrow's discussion on using AI in teaching and learning in PR101 at 13:00 (calendar invitation sent on June 22nd). We will discuss how to use AI in teaching and learning tasks before the courses start. The university is preparing a policy, but it seems to be quite general meaning that we need to discuss how to prepare for teaching and what is our degree programme's own policy regarding e.g. Bachelor's and master's theses, essays, and such. Everybody in the unit is welcome meaning teaching staff, postdocs, PhD students, and all others interested! See you tomorrow! Best wishes, Lumi Viljakainen Director of Degree and Master's Programmes in Biology -- Lumi Viljakainen, Ph.D. University Lecturer Ecology and Genetics Research Unit P.O.

Boxes in EcoGen deep-freezer?!
by Kaisa-Riikka Mustonen 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Hello all, and especially those who have samples in the first deep-freezer on the right-hand side in the biology lab freezer room. There is very little space left, and I am worried that the topmost samples are not in -70 anymore. There are for example 2 styrofoam boxes half empty that does not have anyone's name on them. Whoever owns them, could you contact me please? Is there any chance the things inside could be kept in bags or smaller boxes, as the half empty ones take lot of space in the deep-freezer? Thanks! Cheers, ***************************** Kaisa-Riikka Mustonen Postdoctoral Researcher Arctic Ecology and Biogeochemistry Office B238 Ecology and Genetics Research Unit University of Oulu Finland

Hei, viime lukuvuoden (1.8. - 31.7.) opintosuoritukset pitää olla arvioituna Peppiin viimeistään 20.9.2023, koska seuraavana päivänä ne siirtyvät valtakunnalliseen rekisteriin, josta Kela tarkistaa opintojen etenemisen. Elokuussa ja syyskuussa suoritetut opinnot otetaan huomioon vasta seuraavassa edistymisen seurannassa. terv. Minna
