NERC funded short course in freshwater taxonomic and field work skills

Dear UKPN,

The Natural History Museum will be offering a NERC-funded short course in freshwater taxonomic and field skills from 4-8 July 2106.

The course will deliver training in taxonomic skills and field techniques for freshwater sciences, ecology and water quality with training in practical identification skills tailored to the requirements of the participants. The course is delivered by NHM experts in freshwater biology (aquatic invertebrates, algae, lichens, ciliates) and biodiversity research. The course will entail two days of lectures, a one-day field excursion to the New Forest and two days of extensive hands-on practical sessions of microscopy,lab-based and herbaria work. Please see attached flyer for more information.


Eligibility: The course is available to all environmental sciences students, postgraduate researchers and early-career scientists. Priority will be given to those with NERC funding or whose PhD award was NERC funded. There is a maximum of 15 places available. The course is sponsored by NERC, all course costs, travel and accommodation costs are covered.

How to apply: please return application form and a CV by the 17 June 2016.

Please feel free to circulate and email me if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Talks are maximum 12 minutes long, with 3 minutes for questions. This conference will encourage scientific dialogues between early career scientist from multiple disciplines and backgrounds, with presentations on new research perspectives from a range of research fields. With increased attention on the changing polar environment and the future challenges this will bring, this conference aims to convey the broad range of new research currently being conducted internationally. Early career researchers are well placed to present new developments in their own fields through "new eyes," while the conference provides an opportunity for those in the audience to gain exposure to a range of new techniques, methods, questions and themes. All polar researchers are invited to share their current research findings, but we particularly encourage the submission of abstracts by early career scientists, so they can gain invaluable experience presenting their research projects to the public. There will be a $300 prize given for best presentation at this conference which has been donated by APECS. Session Themes Biological – marine/freshwater/terrestrial Geological/Environmental/terrestrial cryospheric environments Atmospherics/Climatology Oceanography/Sea-ice Cultural/Historical/Policy/Education To submit an abstract, fill in the form at this link Abstract submission guidelines: All abstracts will be written in English. State which session you want your abstract to be submitted to (refer to sessions available above) Include a short title which summarises your presentation Abstract must be limited to 300 words Include your name and any other authors involved in this presentation Include your institution and your additional author institutions State which country and time zone you will be presenting from, so that we can find a sensible time slot for your presentation Abstract must be submitted online or emailed to Rachel Downey (rachel.v.downey@gmail.com) by 25 April 2016.

Hilda Canter-Lund Annual Photography Award in Phycology

Dear UKPN,

We are looking for your images of microalgae and seaweeds! The British Phycological Society extended the deadline into May for the annual Hilda Canter-Lund Photography Competition: http://www.brphycsoc.org/canter-lund/index.lasso. Shortlisted photographs will be shown on the BPS website and the winning image will be awarded with £250.

This award was established by the British Phycological Society in recognition of Hilda Canter-Lund, whose stunning photographs will be known to many members. Her photomicrographs of freshwater algae combined high technical and aesthetic qualities whilst still capturing the quintessence of the organisms she was studying. The BPS Council offers an annual award (presently £250) for a photograph on a phycological theme that best combines these informative, technical and aesthetic qualities. It can be of a micro- or macroalga, marine, freshwater or terrestrial, taken using any photographic medium. The competition is open to all (not just BPS members). Shortlisted photographs will be placed on the BPS website after the closing date, and the winner will be announced at the Annual Meeting of the BPS, on the BPS website and on ALGAE-L.

Best wishes,
Anne
