Hey everybody, just letting you know: on the 22nd of May we have 6 th graders visiting the unit. We will be mostly confined to the teaching labs, but (if time and opportunity) permits might show them around a little bit. Please let me know if you have any critical work ging on that day, so we can stay clear of it. The visit will take place between 11.00 and 14.00.

Palautetta koulutuksen seminaari-iltapäivistä (peruttu toukokuulta)/ Feedback on the F. Sc. Afternoons for Education
by Marjut Saastamoinen 14 May '25

14 May '25

Hei, Lämmin kiitos kuluneesta lukuvuodesta. Perutaan tämän kuukauden tiedekunnan koulutuksen seminaari-iltapäivä ja suunnataan katseet kohti alkavaa kesää, suunnitellen hieman jo tulevaa alla olevan anonyymin Webropol - kyselyn muodossa. Toivoisin siis vastauksia kyselyyn kuluneen lukuvuoden seminaari-iltapäivistä ja toiveista tulevaan. Kyselyn lopussa on myös vapaa sana koskien tiedekunnan pedagogista kehittämistyötä. https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/06344BE466ED7AAD Kiitos jo etukäteen vastauksista! Digipedamentorointivuosi on ollut antoisa ja kiihtynytkin loppua kohden. On ollut ilo huomata, kuinka tiedekunnan henkilöstö löytää juttusilleni yhä paremmin. Olen täällä teitä varten 🙂 Lukuvuoteen on mahtunut vaikka ja mitä; muun muassa antoisia seminaari-iltapäiviä, kurssien kehittämistyötä, koulutuksen markkinointia, kuuluisia salitekniikkaongelmia ja antoisia tekoälykeskusteluja. Kohtaamisista kiitellen🌼, Anu Tuomela Digipedamentori, Asiakkuuspäällikkö LuTK _________________________________________________________________ Hi, A warm thank you for the past academic year. We will cancel this month's faculty's afternoon for education and turn our attention towards the upcoming summer, while also planning for the future through the anonymous Webropol survey below. I would appreciate your responses to the survey regarding the seminar afternoons of the past academic year and your wishes for the future.At the end of the survey, you are also free to provide feedback on the faculty's pedagogical development work. https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/06344BE466ED7AAD Thank you in advance for your responses! The year of digipedamentoring has been rewarding and has gained momentum towards the end. It has been a pleasure to see how the faculty staff are increasingly reaching out to me. I am here for you 🙂 The academic year has included a bit of everything; including seminar afternoons, course development work, marketing education, the infamous lecture hall technology issues, and engaging discussions on artificial intelligence. With gratitude for our interactions🌼, Anu Tuomela Digipedamentor, Customer manager, Faculty of Science

Biology Thursday seminar 15th May: Sonia Celestini: Exploring convergent adaptation to serpentine soil in three Brassicaceae species
by Heikki Helanterä 14 May '25

14 May '25

Dear colleagues, Biology Thursday seminar continues 15th of May, 12:15, in zoom (link below), with Sonia Celestini, Charles University, Prague: "Exploring convergent adaptation to serpentine soil in three Brassicaceae species" The highly stressful serpentine soil provides a natural laboratory for studying repeated adaptation to extreme environments. While shared phenotypic traits in serpentine-adapted plants are well known, the extent of shared genetic mechanisms remains unclear. In this study, we explored local and repeated serpentine adaptation in two understudied Alyssum species (A. gmelinii and A. spruneri). We combined transplant experiments, genome sequencing, and scans for selection to identify candidate genes. Our results reveal parallel serpentine adaptation at both phenotypic and genomic levels, involving genes for ion transport, nutrient and water uptake, and reproduction. Importantly, we also found convergence in adaptive genes and pathways with A. arenosa, a species from a different Brassicaceae tribe. Together, this suggests that genetic responses to serpentine stress can be conserved even across ~20 million years of evolutionary divergence. Sonia will also be available for discussion after her talk. If you would like to book a short discussion with her, please contact Tiina (tiina.mattila(a)oulu.fi) See you online, Heikki Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Silppuri/shredder
by Marjut Saastamoinen 13 May '25

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.

FYI, Arctic mentorship for students (travel funding available) Cheers, Juan --- Applications are now open for the second cohort of the Arctic Mayors’ Forum Mentorship Program! Are you an enthusiastic young person aged 18-35 who has lived experience in the Arctic, or are you interested in working on Arctic issues? Apply by May 30 for a chance to be mentored by skilled professionals in the fields of policy development, advocacy, or communications work in the Arctic region. 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. Best regards, Linnea Nordström Project Coordinator, Youth Together for Arctic Futures Arctic Mayors’ Forum
