Welcome to the next seminar of the semester, where we will host a talk by Sebastian Krossa (Senior Engineer, MR Core Facility, Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging, NTNU).

The talks will cover diversity, conservation and habitat suitability in Ethiopia.

This is a one-day workshop specifically for students in the final stages of writing up a doctoral thesis, and will cover topics important to finishing off a thesis.

Welcome to the next seminar of the semester, where we will host a talk by Synne Bjørnestad (Doctoral Research Fellow, Progida Group, FYSCELL, IBV)

For mapping and exploring communities of both micro- and macro-organisms, high throughput sequencing (HTS) of environmental DNA has become a powerful approach. This can be done either through DNA-metabarcoding, focusing on a single marker, or DNA-metagenomics/metatranscriptomics, dealing with sequencing of all DNA/RNA in the samples.

Kjøre på/Let's go! Everyone knows Anolis are super cool!

This course aims to prepare researchers to be supervisors either at an early supervisor stage or before entering the role and is tailored for young researchers in biotechnology and life sciences.

This week we discuss a paper by Roopnarine et al. 2022, comparing historical and modern community responses to investigate whether sea cow browsing may have enhanced kelp forest resilience

This is a one-day workshop which addresses writing in the 1st year of the doctorate. We have hired an experienced academic writing trainer, who will advice you on how to get started with your writing.

Effects of early life environmental conditions on endocrine and cardiac physiology in Atlantic Salmon

Comparing qPCR and eDNA-metabarcoding for detection of elusive lampreys

Biotechnology innovations seem to emerge at lightning speed. At the same time, countless grand societal challenges demand resources and cultural shifts. What does 21st century innovation look like in the context of ongoing crises such as climate change, as well as short-term shocks like covid, macroeconomic constriction, and war in Europe? In such times, big companies shrink their ambitions; what about emerging ventures?

Join the Centre for Digital Life Norway and The Life Science Cluster for a webinar and expert panel discussion on “Innovation in the Age of Disruption. 

Skal vi finne gode løsninger på klimaendringene må vi forstå hvordan naturen henger sammen. Men, hva om naturen spiller oss et puss og avdekker nye trusler i det vi er i ferd med å knekke koden?

Solving Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Rove Beetle Genus /Aleochara/ (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) by Utilizing a Novel Approach based on High Throughput Sequencing

Late Lunch Talk by George Pacheco

This week we discuss a paper by Mas et al. (2020)

Knowledge gaps, competing theories, and shifting information make science communication a challenge. Who controls the flow of information – and misinformation? This event will explore the complex process of communicating science in times of uncertainty, including how to navigate the nuances of scientific uncertainty and methodological limitations, communicate effectively, and build trust with the public. Our speakers and panelists will present both historical and contemporary examples, and share their views of the role of science communication now and in the future.
