RESEARCHERS' NIGHT EXHIBITION - LESS THAN A WEEK LEFT FOR SUBMISSION!
by Dominika Bujnakova 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Dear colleagues, There will be a biology research exhibition during the Researchers' Night on 29th September. Theme is – “Living World from Different Perspectives”. We need more representatives of bacterial, plant, and fungi research, as there are almost none. It would be really great if we could show the diversity of our research! So far, I have got mostly animal images, but there is also a lot of plant and bacterial research going on, so it would be great if we get more representatives of these fields as well, plus more animals, too! To remind you, pictures could include, and are not limited to: x-ray images, pictures of skeleton, juvenile individuals, stained plant or animal cells, bacteria, plant leaves, close-up images of insect, animal feathers, plants, images of animals from a drone, plants/forests from a drone, or anything else that would show the living world how we see and study it, which is usually different from what public might perceive. In any case, this is a great opportunity to showcase your research, contribute to science communication, and practice your skills in cramming lots of info into a short but informative text. [cid:898d0879-2f1a-4eba-9a57-0e3b7e06995b] REQUIREMENTS: 1. PICTURE * As high resolution as you can get * Square composition if possible * Your own image, or image from a colleague with permission; no screenshots 1. ENGLISH TEXT * 100 words maximum (written in easy language and understandable to general public) * Contains species name in English and Latin * Explains why the research is important or why the species is important = why should general public care about our research and how is it relevant to them * How the picture was taken * What do you do in the project * Species name and the relevance of the research are the crucial parts, and if nothing else fits, then the rest can be put to the website (see below). 1. FINNISH TRANSLATION * Translation of English text - so do not worry too much about 100 words limit in Finnish text when translating 1. LINK FOR QR CODE * Link to the project description - either website, blog, or your own portfolio where you explain your project in detail, such as "Researcher's Profile", or even recent news article! * There you need to state in more detail what is your project about and why it is important (why should people care) SUBMIT (TO ME) AS SOON AS YOU CAN, THE LATEST BY THE END OF JULY. (This is because the exhibition will have another, a more active part based on the picture submission, for which I need to prepare in advance.) In case you have any questions or are not sure what picture would be suitable, just send more pics to me and I will help you with that. Let me know if you need to see examples of the text needed for the picture, or if you need any help with the text! Best wishes, Dominika ________________________________ Dominika Bujnáková Affiliated Doctoral Researcher, Biodiverse Anthropocenes<https://www.oulu.fi/en/biodiverse-anthropocenes> Department of Ecology and Genetics University of Oulu, Finland +358 50 44 15 479 https://wildlifegenomics.wordpress.com/ [cid:38e53b86-43c4-45aa-8c11-03bb98d84133]<https://wildlifegenomics.wordpress.com/>

The meeting will provide opportunities to network, activities for early career individuals, presentations and posters on the state of the field, and workshops and tutorials focused on skill development. There will be a call for sessions and workshop proposals in late 2023.

Fwd: Call for scientists signatures - EU Nature Restoration Law and the Sustainable Use Regulation
by Clement Masse 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, I forward you this call for scientists signatories, on behalf of lead author Guy Pe'er and ~4000 scientists signatories across the EU. The petition demonstrates the support of scientific evidence behind the EU Nature Restoration Law and the Sustainable Use Regulation, tries to reject the claims against these regulations that are based on misinformation, and advocates for continuing its legislative procedure. The call for signatories is open until 30.6.2023 (tomorrow!), and the aim is 5000 signatories. Welcome to add yours! Please find enclosed the statement in English, and to support it: sign here - https://umfrage.uni-leipzig.de/index.php/837218?lang=en and spread further to your colleagues, across disciplines. ============================================================== Dear colleagues, Some of you have kindly signed our letter to policymakers, clarifying the importance of the Nature Restoration Law and the Sustainable Use Regulation, and trying to reject the claims against these regulations that are based on misinformation. You may have also seen how exceptionally unfavourable the political spirit is. Only 20 out of 27 Environmental Ministries supported the law at the Council, and the Parliament’s ENVI Committee vote today, with a 44:44 tie vote, regretfully means that the committee recommends the Parliament to reject the NRL. The EU’s Green Deal is currently being under attack, and much of the arguments supporting it are based on misinformation. Accordingly, while as citizens and humans we may be deeply concerned about the bad spirit of the discussions, as scientists, we do have the mandate to warn that the science aligns with public’s interests regarding the urgent need of these proposals. Please join as a signatory calling policymakers to continue the legislative procedure for the NRL and SUR. And please, distribute the call for signatories among your colleagues to allow every scientist, who shares these concerns, to join and sign as well. We have reached > 4000 signatures – now let’s please ensure we pass 5000. If you wish to use the letter to communicate and to consult policymakers, you may find our letter now in 13 languages here: https://conbio.org/policy/europe-section-initiatives-1/europe-section-polic… The call for signatories will remain open until 30.6.2023. Please sign here - https://umfrage.uni-leipzig.de/index.php/837218?lang=en and spread further to your colleagues, across disciplines. Kind regards and thanks for your support, Guy Pe’er ============================================================== Best Regards, - Clément MASSE Doctoral Researcher - MSc University of Oulu - Arctic Ecology and Biogeochemistry Lab +358402413895 / +33601647060 LinkedIn<http://www.linkedin.com/in/clément-massé-arctic>

Using AI in teaching and learning
by Lumi Viljakainen 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

Hei all, Let's gather together in PR101 on Wednesday, August 23rd at 13:00, and 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! Have a great summer and see you in August! 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.
