Introduction to Sea Turtle Biology, Ecology, and Conservation.
Biological interactions at surfaces exert a tremendous impact on a US$4 trillion global industrial base operating across many sectors, for example in marine fouling and corrosion, and in health where bacterial biofilms are responsible for many types of chronic infection. They can also be beneficially harnessed to deliver important aspects of the bioeconomy. e.g. in biotechnology, microbial fuel cells, aerobic and anaerobic biorefinery. In this talk we will describe how understanding the interactions between microorganisms and surfaces is inspiring new therapeutics and biofilm control strategies and is leading to new clinical and engineered applications. As part of this presentation we will also provide an overview of the recently awarded National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), a £26m commitment from UK government, industry and academic partners and discuss the collaborative opportunities that NBIC provides.
The Singapore Institute of Biology (SIBiol) is a professional society of Biologists and Biology educators (www.sibiol.org.sg/).
SIBiol is proud to announce two funding opportunities for students and early career researchers. In conjunction with the International Year of the Reef 2018, the theme of this year’s grant callsl is “Our Oceans” and will support original research projects in the field of marine biology, biodiversity, management and conservation.
The Department of Biological Sciences is holding a Special Seminar, hosting his Excellency, Mr Anote Tong, the former President of the Republic of Kiribati.
His Excellency, Mr Anote Tong is a world-renown leader in the battle against climate change and for ocean conservation. In this talk, he will be sharing his experiences and visions in taking action to secure the future and well-being of his people through ocean conservation and raising climate change awareness.
The talk is FREE! Come and join us for an interactive afternoon.
The Fun Odyssea is two days of fun-filled learning with movie screenings and hands-on activities in Sentosa, Palawan Beach Pirate Ship.
This community initiative unites St. John’s Island National Marine Laboratory (SJINML), Tropical Marine Science Institutes (TMSI), the Marine Science Research & Development Programme (MSRDP) and other like-minded groups contributing to marine science and research.
