Tis, combined with its geographical location in the heart of Europe makes Vienna a highly popular conference destination. Recently Vienna was ranked as the number one city worldwide with the world's best quality of life. Te University of Vienna was founded by Duke Rudolph IV in 1365. It is the oldest university in the German-speaking world and one of the largest in Central Europe. Currently, about 88,000 students are enrolled at the University of Vienna. Te meeting will take place in the historic main University Building, located at the Ringstrasse, in the downtown area of Vienna. Emergency contacts: +43 699 19446487 [email protected] 6 Geting around Vienna Public transport in Vienna offers frequent and reliable service.

  • Scientist Jaroslav Flegr on the Resurgence of Covid-19
    Scientist Jaroslav Flegr on the resurgence of Covid-19 Scientist Jaroslav Flegr on the resurgence of Covid-19 A lot more should have been done to prepare for what we’re seeing now Well-known evolutionary biologist and parasitologist Jaroslav Flegr, who teaches at CU’s Faculty of Science , anticipated in August that things weren’t going to go the way we hoped regarding the coronavirus. As of last week, cases jumped to record levels in the Czech Republic – a marked turnaround from the situation just a few months ago. Professor Flegr says there is still a “small window of opportunity” in which steps can be taken, where we can act to prevent infections from spiralling further out of control. But even in the best-case scenario, he says, we’re in for a long, tough winter. Compiled Sep 18, 2020 2:13:41 PM by Document Globe ® 1 Compiled Sep 18, 2020 2:13:41 PM by Document Globe ® 2 A lot of people thought back in May that the worst was behind us and that we had “won”. Was it a win? It was not and at the time I believed that our institutions and people involved in fighting Covid-19 knew it. That we had not won but gained a bit of time, a reprieve, by adhering to tough lockdown measures. I also thought it was more than apparent that the moment we started lifting measures, that the virus would come back. It’s a mistake that politicians and institutions did not warn people more that the problem was not over and that more – even after considerable financial sacrifice - would be required.

  • How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy
    • SUBSCRIBE • RENEW • GIVE A GIFT • DIGITAL EDITION Print | Close How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy JAROSLAV FLEGR IS NO KOOK. AND YET, FOR YEARS, HE SUSPECTED HIS MIND HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY PARASITES THAT HAD INVADED HIS BRAIN. SO THE PROLIFIC BIOLOGIST TOOK HIS SCIENCE-FICTION HUNCH INTO THE LAB. WHAT HE’S NOW DISCOVERING WILL STARTLE YOU. COULD TINY ORGANISMS CARRIED BY HOUSE CATS BE CREEPING INTO OUR BRAINS, CAUSING EVERYTHING FROM CAR WRECKS TO SCHIZOPHRENIA? By Kathleen McAuliffe NO ONE WOULD accuse Jaroslav Flegr of being a conformist. A self-described “sloppy dresser,” the 53-year-old Czech scientist has the contemplative air of someone habitually lost in thought, and his still-youthful, square-jawed face is framed by frizzy red hair that encircles his head like a ring of fire. Certainly Flegr’s thinking is jarringly unconventional. Starting in the early 1990s, he began to suspect that a single-celled parasite in the protozoan family was subtly manipulating his personality, causing him to behave in strange, often self-destructive ways. And if it was messing with his mind, he reasoned, it was probably doing the same to others. The parasite, which is excreted by cats in their feces, is called Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii or Toxo for short) and is the microbe that causes toxoplasmosis—the reason pregnant women are told to avoid cats’ litter boxes. Since the 1920s, doctors have recognized that a woman who becomes infected during pregnancy can transmit the disease to the fetus, in some cases resulting in severe brain damage or death.

  • A Closer Look at Toxoplasma Gondii Winner of the Barbara Banks
    WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN: A Closer Look at Toxoplasma gondii Winner of the Barbara Banks Brodsky Prize for Excellence in Real World Writing Maggie Millner, Brown University 2013 Jaroslav Flegr teaches evolutionary biology at Charles University in Prague, where I visited him in September. In recent years, the parasitologist’s work has attracted increasing attention as the subject of numerous popular journal articles, new studies at places like Stanford and Imperial College London, and zombie apocalypse conspiracy theories. The more I learned about Flegr’s research, the more convinced I became that my body was playing host to a colony of sinister parasites. The more I needed to talk to him. Toxoplasma gondii, the parasite Flegr studies, is a protozoa that lives in cats, rats, birds, and other warm-blooded creatures. In most of these organisms, the parasite reproduces asexually by a process called endodyogeny, in which two daughter cells form inside, and then consume, a mother cell. But in cats—both domestic and wild—T. gondii can reproduce sexually. When infected cats defecate, they excrete microscopic cysts containing T. gondii zygotes. This means that if, like me, you’ve changed a litter-box or played in a neighborhood sandpit, you too could be carrying around a legion of cat-loving protists. What’s the big deal? After all, we’ve known for a long time that the vast majority of the cells in our bodies don’t belong, strictly, to us. Estimates from the National Institute of Health hold that our bodies’ nonhuman genes could outnumber our own by a factor of 100-to-one.

Abstract The ability of organisms to adaptively respond to environmental changes (evolvability) is usually considered to be an important advantage in interspecific competition. It has been suggested, however, that evolvability could be a double-edged sword that could present a serious handicap in fluctuating environments. The authors of this counterintuitive idea have published only verbal models to support their claims.
