National Science Day Celebration By the Bioram Forum, Dept. Of Life Science

15/02/2018

National Science Day is celebrated every year in India on 28th of February in order to commemorate the Indian physicist, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, who won the Nobel prize for the discovery of 'Raman Effect'.

In an effort to popularise the benefits of scientific knowledge, National Science Day is celebrated by the Department of Life Science, Bangalore University and organised by Bio-Ram Forum.

The activities include debates, quiz competitions, exhibitions, lectures and more involving school college, students and teachers. All programmes and activities revolve around a theme selected to be the focus of the year.' Scientific issues for the development of the Nation.'

We invite you to be a part of this event in promoting SCIENCE.

CHEERS!!!

Workshop on statistical ecology and related topics in IISC

http://www.isibang.ac.in/~ecoconf16/

There are many exciting research opportunities in theoretical and applied ecology for statisticians. As a result the field of Statistical Ecology has grown explosively over the last two decades. Yet the uptake of these research problems within India has been very limited. Given the increasing human-...

Second Winter School in Foundations of Ecology and Evolution

Herpetofauna as a system has no bounds when it comes to multi-disciplinary research. This is especially apparent today when one looks at the amount of published research papers that have used amphibians and reptiles as model systems to answer questions in the field of developmental biology, evolutionary biology, biogeography, and molecular evolution. Apart from encompassing all these broad fields of research, there are also specific questions pertaining to herpetofaunal systematics and taxonomy which are equally as important. In recent times, these specific fields too have been bolstered with the advent of phylogenetic tools.
In this regard, the Indian subcontinent has a very high level of herpetofaunal diversity, a large proportion of which is still undescribed and therefore underestimated. Much of this lack of knowledge about the true diversity of the Indian subcontinent stems from the lack of holistic knowledge about Indian herpetofauna. In India, there is a continuous influx of enthusiastic people especially among the young crowd who are interested in learning about amphibians and reptiles. Much of this interest seems to stem from watching television shows or similar multimedia sources. However, herpetology is not confined to animal handling and opportunistic surveys for amphibians and reptiles. We present to you a short course in herpetology in which we will have subject and taxa experts from across the country share their knowledge with you. This is a rare opportunity to learn the basics of a whole platter of multidisciplinary fields explained using a herpetological setting. This workshop would include understanding how reptiles and amphibians evolved, to how they developed to how we can know their true diversity through morphology as well as molecules. We will also introduce you to the kinds of ecological and behavioral studies that you can perform after you have estimated the true diversity. During the course of this workshop, we will also have experienced researchers give lectures about their work which would pose as case studies and highlight gaps in knowledge that the interested and enthused can then take forward. Students will also be introduced to basics of herpetofaunal photography.
Applications are invited from enthusiastic students and researches from all background who want to understand the science of herpetology. Preference will be given to applicants who are currently undertaking a project on herpetofauna.
Applicants should send their CV and a short (not more than 500 words) write-up on why they would like to attend this course to [email protected]

Dates: November 1-6, 2016
Application deadline: September 15, 2016

Dear all,

The Student Conference on Conservation Science (SCCS) – Bengaluru brings together young researchers in the science and practice of biodiversity conservation. The conference facilitates interaction, encourages exchange of research ideas and methods, sharing of knowledge and experience related to conserving wildlife and helps build contacts and capacity. As a sister conference to SCCS-Cambridge, SCCS-Bengaluru focuses on attracting student participants, primarily from countries in South and South-east Asia and Africa.

The 2016 conference will be held at the JN Tata Auditorium, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, from 21st to 24th September 2016.

SCCS-Bengaluru is a four-day conference, where you can look forward to a host of long and short workshops (which are research focused and equip students with skills required for conservation), plenary talks by invited speakers, close to 25+ student talks and about 80 student poster presentations.

We will also have sessions on 'Who's Who in Conservation' and 'Birds of a Feather' for students to learn about the work done by a diversity of academic institutions and conservation organisations, to discover work and research opportunities they offer, and to network with students and scientists working on similar issues. Based on feedback from previous years we are working towards a slightly new format for this year’s conference, so do keep a lookout for our announcements via email, our website, Facebook and Twitter handles!

Early Bird registrations and Abstract submissions are now open on our website! Abstract submissions are open for those who want to present either a talk or a poster. Students need to register and pay the conference fee before being able to submit an abstract.

You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more updates. For further information don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Warm regards,
Priyanka Runwal
Conference Administrator
