FW: Register by Oct 15- Minisymposium: Synthetic Biology in Finland, October 22, Oulu
by Tiina Hurskainen 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

******************************************** What? Everyone is welcome to the next Biocenter Oulu Doctoral Programme minisymposium on Synthetic Biology, Oct 22! The theme is in a new emerging exiting field that everyone should become familiar with. Come to learn what synthetic biology is and where we are heading! Synthetic biology is an evolving area of multidisciplinary research that combines biosciences, medical sciences, physical and chemical sciences, engineering and disciplines of social and ethical sciences. The Academy of Finland via its FinSynBio research programme 2013-2017<http://www.aka.fi/globalassets/awanhat/documents/synteettinen-biologia/fins…> gathers together projects covering topics like ethics of the synthetic biology, its social dimensions, cell free synthesis of proteins, formation of hybrid organisms and fabrication of biofilms. The Academy of Finland's research programme Synthetic Biology (FinSynBio) is a programme designed to create a new, more broad-based platform for the closer integration of different fields of research. One of the goals of this integration is to use novel biological components and devices to build new kinds of technologies that are less damaging to the environment and enable more efficient industrial processes. Another goal concerns the introduction of new environmental, nutritional and health-related applications and applications for energy production, for instance. The Academy's funding for this four-year research programme totals EUR 9 million.

Reminder: “Active information in quantum physics, biology and beyond” - Argumenta lecture, Oct 6 at 14.00, YB210

Reminder: “Active information in quantum physics, biology and beyond” Time: Tuesday, Oct 6 at 14-15 Speaker: Paavo Pylkkänen, University of Helsinki and University of Skövde Place: Auditorium YB210, Linnanmaa Campus, University of Oulu “Early on in my studies I became interested in the mind-body problem, and the problem of interpreting quantum theory, and I suppose these interests have continued throughout my career and led me where I am today.” Paavo Pylkkänen<http://www.his.se/en/about-us/Facts-and-figures/staff/paavo_pylkkanen/> (University of Skövde web-pages) Abstract. Quantum theory is fundamental in physics and is currently applied to biology (photosynthesis, avian magnetoreception), information technology (quantum computation and cryptography), and even in cognitive modelling (decision making, memory, concepts and perception). Ironically in relation to this success, quantum theory comes with many puzzles and paradoxes, such as the claim that electrons are in two places at once; that cats are alive and dead at the same time; that the world at the macroscopic level is constantly branching into copies (“many worlds”); that to solve these problems the consciousness of the observer has to play an active role. A more sober version of quantum theory which solves the above problems was discovered by de Broglie in 1927 and rediscovered and developed by Bohm in 1952 (see also Bohm and Hiley 1987, 1993). In this theory the electron is seen as a particle AND a quantum wave field. Bohm and Hiley proposed the radically new notion that this wave field is not an ordinary physical field, but rather a field of information, which literally informs the energy of the particle. They also suggested that such notion of “active information” applies beyond quantum physics, for example in biology (e.g. in the way the DNA molecule in-forms the construction of proteins), information technology and even psychological and social phenomena. This talk presents the notion of quantum active information and discusses its possible relevance to understanding biological information. Coffee/tea and pastry is served after the lecture! There is no need for registration. The lecture is organized by “Genes & Society” Argumenta-project<http://www.oulu.fi/biocenter/genes-and-society/>. Everyone is warmly welcome!
