05 Nov '19

Hi there! If you haven't registered for Phylomania 2019 (It Goes To Eleven) then there's still time. It runs from 20th to 22nd November, here in Sandy Bay. While we are now in the throes of putting the schedule together we do have some room for a few more presentations, so head over to http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2019.htm and register! This is *the* phylogenetics conference in Australia, even if we do say so ourselves: it's friendly, it's leading edge stuff, it's varied, and we have good food, and fantastic t-shirts..

You may have missed an announcement for a beginner's guide to phylogenetic analysis that will be run on Friday 8th November
by Michael Charleston 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

In case this is true, check out https://www.biocommons.org.au/events where you can register for a free, easy afternoon of an introduction to phylogenetic estimation, guided by me and with the expert help of Dr Bennet McComish. The venue is in the Maths and Physics building and it will run from 1-4pm. This workshop is the first of two planned; the second will be a follow-up where you bring your own problematic data for discussion or help. It will be run nationally via videoconfering technology, thanks to the amazing people at the Australian Biocommons, which used to be EMBL-ABR. Let me know if you're interested, and go register! (Did I mention it's free?)

Hi there, Tracey and I supervise a student, Waleed, who is looking at zinc uptake and translocation in barley. He would like to do some association mapping of Zn in barley as part of his PhD. Waleed's done some association mapping and blasting before, but Tracey and I are not experts in this area. Is there anyone at UTAS who might be able to help him get started?

World Multiple Sclerosis Day event near you
by Michael Charleston 23 May '19

23 May '19

This looks really good! Do consider going along – and I believe there are some taxi vouchers available for transport and “heaps of parking”.. :) UTAS College of Health & Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Research Engagement Workshop & Public Symposium “Interactive Brainstorming the next Big Ideas in MS” Date: Thursday May 30, 2019 – World MS Day Time: 10am-12.30pm Venue: C3 Convention Centre, Angelsea Street, South Hobart If you’re interested in being a part of the next big thing in research, please join us at our Multiple Sclerosis Research Engagement Workshop on May 30th, World MS Day. World MS Day is the perfect time for us to take stock of the MS Flagship Program successes so far, and think about our next opportunities and future directions. The MS Flagship Program is a collaboration between UTAS researchers and MS consumer organisations working together to generate and translate knowledge on the causes, treatment and prevention of multiple sclerosis. (You may have heard it was recently awarded $10 million and launched a MOOC). We want a diverse group of people and disciplines to work together and help us on this research mission. There is no requirement that you have any experience in the area of MS, or even health and medicine. We want a broad range of people with an interest in fields such as education, policy change, data management, prevention, treatment, analytics, behaviour change, and lifestyle factors. We also want the opportunity to learn from you and your experiences. We are having a lunch and public symposium following the workshop and you are welcome to stay for a bite to eat and a chance to engage with members of the MS community. Please RSVP to angela.wilson(a)utas.edu.au<mailto:angela.wilson@utas.edu.au> by Friday the 24th of May if you can attend.
