TÄRKEÄÄ / IMPORTANT!!! Kanditöiden ohjaajien ja aiheiden päivitys / Updating Bachelor's Thesis Supervisors and Topics
by Seppo Rytkönen 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hei / Hi (In English below) On aika päivittää LuK-töiden ohjaajien ja aiheiden lista, sekä biotieteiden että ekologian osalta. Jos ette löydä nimeänne listoilta ja haluatte palavasti ohjaajaksi, niin lisätkää tietonne sinne rohkeasi. Jos epäröitte, niin voitte kysyä minulta tai Lumilta tarkemmin kandiohjauksesta. Molempien tiedostojen alussa on tarkemmat ohjeet siitä, mitä tietoja ko. listoille tulisi laittaa Ja muistakaa lähettää päivitys/lisäys suoraan minulle: seppo.rytkonen(a)oulu.fi (aihekenttään: "kandiaihe") ---------- Hi Time to Update the List of Bachelor's Thesis Supervisors and Topics for Biosciences and Ecology. You may not find your name on the lists attached, but we would greatly appreciate it if you could sign up as a bachelor's thesis supervisor and provide a list of possible thesis topics. If you are eager to become a supervisor, feel free to add your details. If you're unsure, you can ask me or Lumi for more information about supervising bachelor's theses. Many students have inquired about the possibility of writing their bachelor's thesis in English, so there is a demand for supervision in English. At the beginning of both documents, you’ll find detailed instructions on what information should be included in the lists. And remember to send your updates/additions directly to me: seppo.rytkonen(a)oulu.fi (subject: "kandiaihe"). Yst. terv., Best regards, Seppo Rytkönen P.S. Jos listalla on nimiä, joita siellä ei pidä olla, ilmoittakaa myös tästä minulle! ------------------------------------------------------------- Seppo Rytkönen, Oulu -------------------------------------------------------------

VWR PCR machine to replace broken ones
by Johanna Honka 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hi Because many PCR machines have broken down, we are taking to routine PCR use the black PCR machine from VWR UNO96 https://fi.vwr.com/store/product/13649576/null. Previously this was reserved for genomic library use, but it was used seldomly. Please do note that this machine does not have a gradient function (unless a software upgrade is purchased), like the Veriti machines do. Best regards Johanna Honka
