Animal Biology Early Career Researcher Symposium
Animal Biology Early Career Researcher Symposium
DATE: 3-7 October 2022
ORGANISED BY:
- Jenni Prokkola (University of Helsinki, Finland)
- Tommy Norin (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)
- Anna Andreassen (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway)
- Jacinta Kong (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland)
- Eirik Åsheim (University of Helsinki, Finland)
The SEB Early Career Researcher Symposium in Animal Biology will take place at Tvärminne Zoological Station, Finland from 3rd October to 7th October 2022. The Symposium brings together early career researchers from across the Animal Biology Section to showcase their work and meet and connect with other ECRs within a unique setting and laid back atmosphere in picturesque southern Finland. Places are limited to 40 attendees. Accommodation (including meals, linen and towels) are included in the (free) registration. Please note that registration has now reached full capacity, but further applicants will be added to a waiting list and informed if a space becomes available.
The meeting will be intended for in-person attendance. Virtual attendance is limited to those who would otherwise have to cancel, for example, due to illness, to allow for presentations to be delivered virtually. This limitation is because our aim is to facilitate in-person attendance by having no registration fees.
Eligibility
The event is intended for PhD candidates and Postdoctoral researchers within the remits of the SEB Animal Section (membership not required). Master’s students may apply to join a waiting list from where attendees will be admitted if space is available at the end of registration period (September 4th 2022). At the time of registration, the attendees must submit an abstract, and they may be excluded from attending if the abstract is not related to a relevant research field. Places will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis pending the eligibility criteria are filled.
Decolonising and Diversifying Biosciences Education
DECOLONISING AND DIVERSIFYING BIOSCIENCES EDUCATION
DATE: 19th-20th December 2022
ORGANISED BY
Dr. Katharine Hubbard
Catherine Mansfield
Tina Joshi
Isaiah Ting
There is an urgent need to re-consider this, and to adopt a more diverse and decolonised approach. This meeting will examine how we teach the Biosciences through an equality and diversity lens.
Topics will include the historical legacies of colonialism on the Biosciences, the need to adopt more diverse and inclusive examples, ableism within the curriculum, awarding gaps for disadvantaged students, and how Biology education can better incorporate international perspectives.
The meeting will also include student perspectives, and the emotional implications of receiving a non-inclusive education. The meeting will encourage delegates to consider their own teaching practices, and to identify ways in which they could become more inclusive. This meeting therefore aligns closely with both the 'Teaching and Learning' and 'Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity' aims of the OED section.
Grants each of £100 have been made available by the Company of Biologists to support ECRs and minority delegates (subject to successful application).
