Hi all - I'm sure many of you have seen this but the Winter School is a great bioinformatics training event held annually in Australia. Details below. Student travel scholarship application CLOSES ON 31 MAY 2019 **2019 Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology ** A premier bioinformatics training event in Australia, the sixteenth annual Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology will be held 1-5 July 2019 at the Institute for Molecular Science, The University of Queensland, St Lucia. Early bird registration for Winter School now open. http://bioinformatics.org.au/winterschool/<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/wtCVC6X1k7COKM53UpoJ_R?domain=bioinformat…> Note that last year we reached the capacity of 280 of our venue, so be sure to register early to ensure your place. Key Dates Online registration - Early bird - from now to Sunday 10 June 2019 - Normal - 11 June to 24 June 2019 Student travel scholarships - Applications open NOW - Applications close on 31 May 2019 The series of winter schools is designed to introduce bioinformatics, mathematical and computational biology to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and others working in the fields of biology, mathematics, statistics, computer science, information technology, complex systems analysis, and chemical and medical sciences and engineering. Themes * Next generation sequencing & bioinformatics * Long read bioinformatics and applications * Data science and machine learning for bioinformatics * Getting started with bioinformatics software Featured speakers -- Nicholas Loman, University of Birmingham, UK -- Nicola Armstrong, Murdoch University -- Joshua Ho, The University of Hong Kong -- Nicole Cloonan, University of Auckland -- Jue Ruan, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China -- Jessica Mar, The University of Queensland -- Martin Smith, Garvan Institute of Medical Research -- Maren Westermann, Max Kelsen -- Denis Bauer, CSIRO Speakers at Winter School are chosen as great presenters and world leaders in their field. For the complete list of speakers and presentation titles, visit website http://bioinformatics.org.au/winterschool/<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/wtCVC6X1k7COKM53UpoJ_R?domain=bioinformat…> Workshop A Genomics Virtual Laboratory training workshop (limited places of 36 only) will be run during the Winter School on Wednesday 3rd July. The workshop was fully subscribed in days last year, so register early to avoid disappointment. Feedback from previous Winter Schools "I would strongly encourage all biologists even without any mathematical background to attend the Winter School." "Fantastic speakers." "Great networking opportunities." "It takes special talent to pull off a conference people actually enjoy attending and it was thanks to some of the more charismatic orators, that I was able to enjoy the Winter School so much." "Gave me the confidence I need to talk to other people and bioinformaticians about the analysis of my NGS data. Thanks." University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).

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.
