Invitation: Special Guest Seminar
by Carolina De La Rosa Zapata 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

There is still time to register! [cid:ce38f84b-6842-46fe-b1dc-cfbcf2b39cda] Join us to listen to the presentations by Visiting Fellows of the Biodiverse Anthropocenes program, as they share insights into their research, experiences at the Programme and the University of Oulu. Engage in discussion on Wednesday, March 28th, from 9:00 to 11:00 at Tellus Frost Club. Register Here<https://link.webropol.com/s/sgs> by March 25th Our Guest Speakers are, Doctoral scholar Drashti Parmar, Dr. Yulei Guo and Dr. Łukasz Trębicki. Drashti Parmar is an evolutionary biologist who is currently is pursuing her doctoral degree at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland. She is originally from the vibrant city of Gandhinagar, India. She is currently focused on exploring the remarkable world of blowflies (Calliphoridae), creatures of medical, forensic and veterinary significance. "Buzzing Beauties: Delving into Blowfly Biodiversity and Beyond" Dive into the intriguing realm of blowflies as we unravel the mysteries surrounding these fascinating insects. This talk delves into the journey from past research endeavors in conservation and evolutionary genetics to the current focus on creating a global barcode library for blowflies. Offering insights into biodiversity conservation, forensic science, and the intricate dynamics of ecosystems, this exploration sheds light on the vital role played by nature's tiny detectives. Join us for a captivating exploration of blowflies and their significance in the natural world. Dr. Łukasz Trębicki: is an arachnologist from University of Lodz in Poland. He is interested in the integrative taxonomy, biogeography, and evolution of jumping spiders from the Australian and Oriental Zoogeographic Regions. "Cutie and mysterious – studies on jumping spiders from tropical SE Asia and Australia" In this presentation, Łukasz will introduce you with great diversity of jumping spiders – the most speciose spider family. The family of jumping spiders (Salticidae) includes almost 6700 species, characterised by a variety of body forms and habits. Salticidae evolved the unique high-resolution eyes to rapidly modify hunting strategy and to evaluate complexity of courtship behaviours. Some genera – like peacock spiders, with their rich ornaments and variety of mating behaviours, are competing with tropical birds-of-paradise. Based on lesser known salticids, Łukasz will emphasise the importance of integrative taxonomy in spider studies, including aspects of research based on historical museum collections and specimens collected during the expeditions to the tropics as well. Łukasz will talk about the species diversity and distributions, hidden morphology, unclear species boundaries, and finally how little-studied groups may become interesting model organisms. Dr. Yulei Guo is a Chengdu based researcher and dedicated advocate for wildlife conservation. She is currently working on her book "Panda Fandom." Her vision: fostering harmonious coexistence between humans and pandas. "Panda fandom: An Ecosomatic Dance with Nature" Panda fandom begins with a passion and love for one of the cutest animals on this planet. This devotion to pandas has shaped a lifestyle for a community of human participants whose identity and life experiences are built around the giant panda. The heroes of this research project are not giant panda experts, professionals, or scientists who traditionally claim their understanding of and knowledge about the animal, but ordinary people who have cultivated their relationship with the animal through what I term the “ecosomatic dance”. This project asks whether the ecosomatic dance with nature can help us reimagine our relationship with and existence on this planet. Feel free to share!

FW: ERC Proposal Reading Days in spring 2024
by Päivi Tomperi 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

To those, who are planning an ERC application: The Research Council of Finland is planning to organize three ERC Proposal Reading Days in spring 2024! The first two (22 April and 26 April) will be held in Helsinki and the third (24 May) in Oulu. ERC Proposal Reading Days are organized for researchers who are planning an ERC application. On the Proposal Reading Day (PRD) applicants will get the opportunity to read successful ERC grant proposals in order to see how a proposal might be structured. About 40 ERC grantees from Finnish Host Institutions have given their kind consent to make their proposal(s) available for the reading day. * Proposal Reading Day is an on-site event. * The PRDs of 22 and 26 April will be held at the Research Council of Finland premises, Hakaniemenkatu 2, Helsinki. * The PRD of 24 May will be held at the University of Oulu (Linnanmaa campus). * There will be two separate sessions on each PRD, at 9-12 and 13-16, both accommodating max 38 persons. * One is allowed to register only to one PRD and to one session. Practicalities: * The proposals are available as paper copies on the PRD. One can preselect up to two proposals. This is done in the registration form. Subject to availability, it may be possible to read copies of other applications. * Attendance only by registration which is binding. If one signs up, but cannot attend after all, one is requested to deregister before the registration deadline. * The participants must sign Declaration of Secrecy when they arrive and sign up to the PRD session. * Photocopying or taking photos of the applications is not allowed. * Applications cannot be taken out of the reading room. * This is a quiet individual reading session. It does not include tutorials about the ERC. To participate one should be familiar with the ERC grant schemes, as well as the conditions for participation listed here. Registration: * PRD 22 April: https://www.lyyti.fi/reg/ERC_Proposal_Reading_Day_224_1702 - open until 8 April 2024. * PRD 26 April: https://www.lyyti.in/ERC_Proposal_Reading_Day_264_9970 - open until 8 April 2024. * PRD in Oulu (May 24) is reserved primarily for researchers from the University of Oulu and University of Lapland. The registration link will be sent later. It is possible that we will organize a few PRDs in the autumn 2024, but they will be confirmed later in the spring.

Guidelines for working abroad
by Heikki Helanterä 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Dear all, University of Oulu has revised their guidelines for working abroad https://patio.oulu.fi/en/services-and-instructions/internationalisation/wor… SO: if you are or are planning to work abroad, or as a PI are planning to have some of your group members work abroad (as a secondment or remote work) - please contact your line manager and me so we can check that everything is going by the book. Note that remote working from abroad needs to be justified and is possible only in some countries, it's not something that is automatically OK. Cheers, Heikki =============================================== Heikki Helanterä Professor Ekologian ja genetiikan tutkimusyksikkö / Ecology and Genetics Research Unit Oulun Yliopisto / University of Oulu / Finland heikki.helantera(a)oulu.fi<mailto:heikki.helantera@oulu.fi> +358 50 4700 545

Supervisors of master's thesis, please check this!
by Lumi Viljakainen 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Hei, Supervisors of master's thesis, please check that your student has written a contribution paragraph in their thesis. They can find the instructions in the Moodle space for the Master of Science Seminar. I also provide the instructions below, in Finnish and English: --- Kontribuutio-kappaleessa, joka kirjoitetaan lähdeluettelon perään ilman omaa otsikkoa, opiskelija kuvailee tuottavan tekoälyn ja tekoälyavusteisten teknologioiden käytön opinnäytetyön kirjoittamisessa. Mikäli tuottavaa tekoälyä tai tekoälyavusteisia teknologioita ei ole käytetty, opiskelija ilmoittaa tämän kontribuutiossa. Kontribuution tulee olla muotoiltu seuraavasti: Tämän opinnäytetyön suunnittelussa ja kirjoittamisessa käytin [tuottavan tekoälyn tai tekoälyavusteisen teknologian nimi] [käytön tarkoituksen kuvaus]. Olen tarkistanut sisällön ja muokannut sitä tarvittaessa ja otan siitä täyden vastuun. Tai vaihtoehtoisesti: En ole käyttänyt tuottavaa tekoälyä tai tekoälyavusteista teknologiaa opinnäytetyöni suunnittelussa ja kirjoittamisessa. Otan täyden vastuun opinnäytetyöni sisällöstä. --- The student writes a Contribution at the end of their thesis, after references without any specific title. In the Contribution, the student describes the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in writing their thesis. If generative AI or AI-assisted technologies were not used, the student declares this in the Contribution. The Contribution should be formatted as follows: In planning and writing this thesis I used [name of the generative AI or AI-assisted technology] to [description of the purpose]. I have checked and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for it. Or alternatively: I have not used generative AI or AI-assisted technology in the planning and writing of my thesis. I take full responsibility for the content of my thesis. --- If this hasn't been written I have to return the thesis for revision. Thanks for your help in avoiding the extra work!
