Dear all,
If you are intending to come to Phylomania this year, but have not yet registered, please do so as soon as you possibly can, so I can finalise numbers.
As an added incentive in case you need one, we already have an excellent range of speakers confirmed, including Jotun Hein from Oxford University, Rohan Mehta from Stanford, Olga Chernomor from University of Vienna, a whole team from ANU, Aaron Darling from University of Technology Sydney, and of course a bunch of us here at UTAS.
Please get those registrations in!
Best wishes
Mike

Hello all,
Don’t forget the second of our Galaxy workshops is next week!
You can still register here: https://variant-detection-galaxy-embl-abr-utas.eventbrite.com.au<https://variant-detection-galaxy-embl-abr-utas.eventbrite.com.au/>
– and you really should!
Here is a snapshot of the feedback from the first one that we ran all those weeks ago (not many):
In total there were 94 people around Australia taking part. We had 58 responses to the evaluation survey, and to give you an idea about the feedback:
- 100% of participants thought 'This was a useful workshop that enhanced my knowledge and skills.'
- all except for 1 person thought 'The content reflected the learning objectives of the workshop', 'The learning from this program increased my level of skills' and 'The exercises and activities enhanced my learning'.
- 100% said they agreed or strongly agreed with "The facilitator/s was/were organised and confident in the program content" and "The facilitator/s was/were responsive to individual questions and needs".... "Thanks for the local mentors!!"
- participants signed off with things like: "Good workshop - will make sure other members of my team attend these in future" and "I thought it was a nice workshop that blended both hands on activities and some lecture based materials for follow up. Great job. Thanks! I hope to come to more."
I hope to see you there!

First announcement: Microbiomes in Tasmania workshop: questions, collaboration and connection with industry
Dates: Monday-Wednesday 29th-31st October
Schedule: Mon-Tues is a mini-conference, Wed is a paper writing workshop, both days are approx. 9am-5pm
Venue: TBC
Cost: Free
In Tasmania, microbial community analyses are being conducted through different organizations (e.g. UTas, CSIRO, AAD, TIA, private industry) and for different objectives, including understanding human, soil and agricultural health, food safety, biodiversity, evolution and biogeochemistry. However, to date there has been very little formal collaboration amongst these groups to facilitate discussion of research questions, techniques, and facilities to streamline research efforts and stimulate cross-disciplinary research, grants and publications.
To initiate collaboration amongst these groups, we are holding a three-day event (Mon 29 Oct – Wed 31 Oct); two days of presentations on health and ecological microbiome research and applications, with a third day to outline a working paper for publication. We are inviting presentations from each major “microbiome” research group in Tasmania, as well as leading microbiome researchers from elsewhere in Australia. We have identified you as one of the prominent “microbiome” researchers in Tasmania and it would be fantastic if you could attend.
The outcomes of the workshop will be to build a network and shared understanding of the microbiomes research being done in Tasmania. Fostering this collaboration could lead to more rapid advances and efficient research.
Please let us know by Friday, Aug 31 if 1) whether you (or your students) are interested in attending the mini-conference on Oct 29 or 30 2) whether you (or your students) are interested in presenting at the mini-conference on Oct 29 or 30 (and the general topic of presentation), and 3) whether you (or your students) are interested in being involved with writing up a paper on this subject (must attend workshop on Oct 31). Feel free to forward this announcement to others, who we may have missed.
This free event has been sponsored by the College of Science and Engineering and will be catered with lunch and morning and afternoon tea.
Regards,
Drs Emily J Flies, Laurence Clarke and Dave Kendal
