All this would have not been possible without the support and guidance of my PhD advisor Prof. Jacob Israelachvili. He encouraged and cultivated a collaborative research environment in his group and this has immensely contributed to my success as a PhD student. He taught me to ask the right questions and I express my gratitude and respect to him for enabling me to grow as a Scientist. I would also like to thank my many other lab members who supported me from a professional perspective.

  • Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events
    © The Authors. Volume compilation © 2011 Portland Press Limited Chapter 3 Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events Ian Dransfield and Brian Beechey Scientific conferences organized by the Biochemical Society represent a key facet of activity throughout the Society’s history and remain central to the present mission of promoting the advancement of molecular biosciences. Importantly, scientific conferences are an important means of communicating research findings, establishing collaborations and, critically, a means of cementing the community of biochemical scientists together. However, in the past 25 years, we have seen major changes to the way in which science is communicated and also in the way that scientists interact and establish collabo- rations. For example, the ability to show videos, “fly through” molecular structures or show time-lapse or real-time movies of molecular events within cells has had a very positive impact on conveying difficult concepts in presentations. However, increased pressures on researchers to obtain/maintain funding can mean that there is a general reluctance to present novel, unpublished data. In addition, the development of email and electronic access to scientific journals has dramatically altered the potential for communi- cation and accessibility of information, perhaps reducing the necessity of attending meetings to make new contacts and to hear exciting new science. The Biochemical Society has responded to these challenges by progressive development of the meetings format to better match the

  • Newsletter 16, October 2018
    Australasian Colloid and Interface Society Web: http://acis.wildapricot.org; E-mail: [email protected] ACIS Newsletter – Issue 16, October 2018 Welcome Dear members, Welcome to our 16th issue of ACIS News! We produce a quarterly newsletter - sent around in March, June, October, and December - to keep ACIS members informed of our initiatives and for members to directly communicate with our Society. We publish job announcements, meetings of interests to our society, career development opportunities and any exciting research that you would like to share with us. To keep you up to date with the on-goings in our colloids society, please send your suggestions and items for the next newsletter to [email protected]. Jacob Nissim Israelachvili (1944 - 2018) Prof. Jacob Israelachvili was a leading light in colloid and interface science, and the undisputed world leader in experimental measurement of surface forces. He had a close connection with Australia, having worked at ANU from 1974 to 1986, where he developed his surface forces apparatus (SFA) to operate in liquid media. This achievement, and a series of seminal papers that resulted from it, launched his international career before he relocated to the University of California Santa Barbara in 1986, remaining there until he lost his battle with cancer on 20 September 2018. Born in Israel in 1944, Jacob (as everyone in the colloid community knew him) was educated in England, culminating in a PhD in physics at the University of Cambridge. He was supervised there by Prof. David Tabor, whose group had been developing methods of measuring interactions between molecularly smooth mica surfaces using optical interferometry to determine the distance between two opposing surfaces at Angstrom resolution.
