  • Alan Welsh Will Take Over As President and I Will Support Him for His First Year in That Role to Then Step Back and Continue to Contribute in Other Ways to the IBS
    Australasian Region IBS-AR Issue 23 Newsletter August 2018 President’s Corner It was my privilege to serve you as the regional president since the beginning of 2017 and this is already the last time I write to you in this President's Corner. There are still four more months left to speak louder through actions than with words. I am thankful to Emi Tanaka who accepted being our inaugural Social Media Officer and with this role, Emi also joined the Regional Council. Emi already made several important contributions and is very active in her role. It is wonderful to see how in our region many early to mid-career biometrician play a leading part in shaping our society. Alan Welsh will take over as President and I will support him for his first year in that role to then step back and continue to contribute in other ways to the IBS. Alan received a well-deserved Honorary Life Membership at the IBC 2018 in Barcelona and is the third distinguished biometrician from the Australasian Region to receive this special accolade, following Sue Wilson (in 2012) and Kaye Basford (in 2016). Helen Newton Turner (1908-1995) was selected from the Australasian Region to name one of the venues at the 29th IBC. As I walked into the foyer of the conference centre there she featured on a banner. Helen was a distinguished Genetist and Statistician, a leading authority on sheep genetics. She worked for the CSIRO and received awards such as the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Medal, the Order of the British Empire, the Order of Australia and the Farrer Memorial Medal.

PIAR, per l’edizione di aprile 2009 e’ anche un intermediario tra due gestioni del’Ufficio Scientifico. Nel panorama internazionale, in cui per i ricercatori e’ necessario pubblicare su riviste specializzate con “Impact Factor” (possibilmente alto), il Bollettino rappresenta un’anomalia. Il comitato di redazione opera una scelta sugli articoli e fornisce commenti, o meglio suggerimenti, non certo paragonabili ad una “peer review”. Il Bollettino si propone come strumento per stimolare la cooperazione internazionale in S&T, principalmente tra Italia e Australia e la sua non specializzazione puo’ essere una fonte di ispirazione per un lettore attento e curioso, in questa era in cui le scoperte scientifiche e le loro applicazioni sono sempre piu’ complesse e da piu’ parti si richiede un approccio interdisciplinare e integrato.

  • Focus 188: Australia's Energy Opportunities
    AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING (ATSE) NUMBER 188 FEBRUARY 2015 AUSTRALIA’S ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES GETTING THE BEST FROM OUR ARRAY OF OPTIONS The future of energy is the future of the nation – so we need to focus on economical, sustainable energy sources. Enhancing Australia’s prosperity through technological innovation The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) ATSE is made up of some of Australia’s leading thinkers in technology and engineering. One of Australia’s four Learned Academies, it’s an eclectic group, drawn from academia, government, industry and research, with a single objective in mind – to apply technology in smart, strategic ways for our social, environmental and economic benefit. To achieve that goal, ATSE has formed a variety of expert, independent forums for discussion and action – platforms to move debate and public policy on issues concerning Australia’s future. These focus on energy, water, health, education, built environment and innovation – and the international collaboration necessary to ensure that Australia is abreast of world trends. It’s an open, transparent approach – one that government, industry and community leaders can trust for technology-led solutions to national and global challenges. Each year, the Australian Government recognises the importance of the work we do by awarding the Academy an establishment grant to help with: n Fostering research and scholarship in Australia’s technological The Australian Academy of Technological sciences and engineering; Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) n 1/1 Bowen Crescent Providing and conducting administrative support, workshops, Melbourne Victoria 3004 forums and similar events to enable the Academy and its Fellows Australia to contribute on important national issues; +613/ (03) 9864 0900 n Managing the development and execution of our programs; and [email protected] n Supporting relationships with international communities.
