The School of Pharmacy and Centre for Integrative Microbial Evolution (CIME) invites you to the CIME International Winter Symposium held in conjunction with an honorary symposium for professor Anne-Brit Kolstø who retired from her position at the School of Pharmacy July 31st 2015.

Late Lunch Talk by Mark Ravinet.

Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday 11 December @ 14:15 in aud. 1 in the Geology building.

How can the brain learn from experiences, and at the same time be stable enough to retain memories for decades? How does mental capacity change throughout life? Can oral infection be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease? At the seminar we will look more deeply into these questions.

Signe Riemer-Sørensen, Post-Doctoral researcher, ITA

This Friday we will focus on a book chapter from Symonds and Blomberg (2014) on Phylogenetic Generalised Least Squares from a recently published book on phylogenetic comparative methods. This will be an introduction for a discussion on the use of appropriate methodology when it comes to comparative methods. If you yourself are wondering what to use in your own research, come join the discussion!

Upcoming short presentation in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Rasmus Benestad, MET Norway

Title: Learning from mistakes in climate research

This week we will discuss a paper on patterns of opercle shape evolution in a cichlid radiation by Wilson et al. which use geometric morphometrics and the comparative methods to draw some interesting conclusions.

"Can hybridization be detected between African wolf and sympatric canids?"

Master i biologi Jasmin Kaori Kroeger ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Conserved MFS transporters of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 - Functions in sporulation and drug efflux.

Raoul Wolf, PhD student AQUA, IBV

Rohaldin Miri at the Department of Geosciences will be defending his dissertation: Effects of CO2-Brine-Rock Interactions on CO2 Injectivity - Implications for CCS

Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday 4 December @12:15 in AUD 2 in the Geology building.

Lars A. Buchhave, Postdoc, Centre for Star and Planet Formation, University of Copenhagen. 

This week we'll discuss a recent paper in Systematic Biology on the use of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Model to investigate patterns of adaptive evolution in phylogenies.

Friday, corner room @11 as usual.

Doctoral candidate Rohaldin Miri at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Evaluation of reservoir quality for CO2 storage purposes

Kristian Ranestad, UiO, gives the Seminar in Algebra and Algebraic Geometry:

Variety of sums of powers of bihomogeneous forms

Upcoming short presentation in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Jón Egill Kristjánsson

Title: Climate Change and the Hydrological Cycle

This week we will discuss a paper on transposable elements as agents of rapid adaptation may explain the genetic paradox of invasive species that was recently published in Molecular Ecology by Stapley and colleagues.

"Do contaminants in polar bear (Ursus maritimus) modulate the expression of selected genes and cause DNA strand breaks?"

Stefan Hofmann, LMU Munich

A relativistic framework for describing black-hole interiors as bound states of a large number of quantum constituents will be presented. The macroscopic and microscopic description can be linked via a simple scaling law relating the black-hole mass to the number of black-hole constituents.

(The slides will be available after the talk).
