Njord Seminar with talks by

John Aiken (University of Oslo): "Acoustic detection of degassing events associated with peridotite alteration"

and

Paiman Shafabakhsh (University of Oslo): "Neutron imaging of reactive-mixing in porous rocks"

Doctoral candidate Peter Horvath at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Ecological Climatology and Distribution Modelling for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Johan Blakkisrud will defend his thesis "Dosimetry in patients treated with [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Abstract: This talk is about the non-integer (fractional) derivative, its mathematical formulation by Abel in 1823, and present-day applications in modeling power-law behavior. These applications are in acoustics of complex media like tissue and sediments as well as in rheology, turbulence, and dielectrics. It will build on my book “Waves with Power-Law Attenuation”, Springer, 2019.

The talk will be streamed online. Please contact "timokoch at uio.no" for the Zoom link. This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. Bring-your-own-lunch and lots of questions.

Welcome to our GEOHYD Lunch Seminar Friday 18th of February @ 12:15 in Aud. 2, Geology building or via videolink using Zoom. The seminar is helt by Adrien Gilbert, Institute of Environmental Geosciences (IGE).

Duncan Watts, postdoctoral fellow at Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.

Is it difficult to set aside time to write? The Academic Writing Centre arranges joint, structured “Shut Up & Write” sessions.

From the end of February, the new innovation unit at the University of Oslo – the Life Science Growth House – will be an open door for researchers and students who need help to mature ideas at an early stage; leaders and administrative employees who support the innovative researchers; and existing and new external collaborators. At this launch seminar we gather the whole innovation ecosystem in life sciences in Oslo.

Plants have been used for thousands of years in the treatment of human diseases. With over 390,000 known plant species, how do we identify which plants are potential sources for novel pharmaceuticals?

Dr. Fran Supek, Group Leader at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Barcelona, Spain, will present his work on "Mutation clusters in cancer genomes: causes, consequences and opportunities."

This week we discuss a paper by Le Duc et al., recently published in Science Advances.

Title: The magnitude-dependent physics of volcanic eruptions

Speaker: Georgiy Stenchikov, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

Welcome to our weekly lunch seminar held in the dScience lounge area! This event is open to PhD candidates and postdocs.

In the autumn of 2021, the method for organ donation called cDCD (controlled donation after circulatory death) was approved in Norway after a long and thorough process. In this process, critical questions were asked although the method is already established in many other countries. In order to maintain good trust in the health care system, we want to address this questions surrounding organ donation after cardiac arrest, and provide some insights into how cDCD is performed in practice: How is the dying patient and relatives taken into account? What exactly is cDCD?

This event will give a general overview of radiation therapy with focus on proton therapy and its benefits for cancer patients compared to standard treatment with high-energy X-rays. You will also have a great opportunity to get knowledge on effects of radiation therapy from clinicians, with emphasis on side effects. Finally, a survivor of head and neck cancer will share his experience.

Welcome to our digital event during Oslo Life Science Conference.

InLifeScience is the annual conference for industrial life sciences. The conference highlights the potential for life sciences in Norway, how innovation is realized from pre-commercial to upscaling. What challenges characterize the different steps - and what kind of support you can get in each step.

How do we find our way back to contact with nature? And what answers about ourselves can we find in it?

Infection has characterized the everyday life lately. How did people view contagious diseases before? How does contagion occur? Do we have reason to fear it? What does the future hold?
