The what, why and how of high impact publication in science.

Guest speaker: Maria Luisa Avila, PhD, Editorial Consultant 

When: December 3, 4:00 GMT                

Reserve your Webinar Seat Now at: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/697971593  

Webinar ID: 697971593


Publishing in high impact journals is often one of the ultimate goals for scientists. Even if the current impact factor measures are not of everybody's liking, it is no doubt that in the current academic settings it is easier to obtain the next grant, the next promotion or even the next job if your count with high impact publications in your CV. But what actually makes the difference between a «normal» scientific publication and a high impact one? In her lecture, Maria Luisa Avila will speak about her experience as science editor for a high impact journal, what makes a high impact publication (and what doesn't!), why aiming for high impact could be benefitial (an detrimental!) to science and how you can tailor your research and article writting to improve your chances of publishing in high impact journals.

GoToWebinar has been provided as an in-kind contribution from Bredbåndsfylket.

IPRNmail International Symposium on Glaciology in High Mountain Asia

International Symposium on Glaciology in High Mountain Asia

Hosted by International Glaciological Society and ICIMOD

Kathmandu, Nepal

1-6 March 2015 

http://www.icimod.org/igs2015/

Theme

The high mountains of Asia are estimated to contain one of the greatest concentrations of glacier ice outside the polar regions, and are the headwaters of rivers which support agriculture and livelihoods of over one billion people. Changes in snow, ice, and permafrost due to climatic changes will impact water resources, ecosystems and hydroelectric power generation, and will aggravate natural hazards. To understand these impacts, the symposium will provide a forum to discuss advances in measurements, modeling, and interpretation of glaciological and cryospheric changes in high mountain Asia.

As the field of glaciology intersects with both atmospheric and hydrologic sciences, the symposium will also focus on linkages between atmospheric processes and cryospheric change and the downstream impacts in the region. The meeting seeks to bring together scientists from the region and around the world and provide an overview of the state of science with respect to the glaciers, snowpacks and permafrost of the Himalayan, Hindu-Kush, Karakoram, Tien Shan, Pamir, and Tibetan Plateau regions.

Hi Subho,

Please forward this to anyone who might be interested. Including colleges around Blr. 

Thanks,
Nandini


The 2014 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) Conference to be held at NIMHANS Bangalore between 17-19 November 2014 will cover recent advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, bioinformatics for NGS and translational applications of NGS in various areas of life sciences. Sessions will focus on human, animal and plant genomic studies as well as bioinformatics techniques. 
Website: http://www.scigenomconferences.com/2014/index.php

The conference is organised by SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF), a not-for-profit organization that is working to promote Science in India through research and education, and is co-hosted by National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) & The Institute of Bioinformatics (IOB).

IndiaBioScience (www.indiabioscience.org) is an Outreach Partner for the NGBT 2014 conference. As part of this arrangement, a special registration rate of Rs 1000 is available to students and post-doctoral scholars who register through IndiaBioScience. The registration rate for persons needing hostel accommodation is Rs 1500. To avail of these special rates, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JbdZwIp2_aoFTkstpcGI-wGrgff3L6XSUvaQPtRQD1M/edit#

The meeting will showcase leading national and international scientists sharing their research findings, a pre-conference bioinformatics workshop, a job and career fair, an art and science exhibition, stalls from leading journals and organisations. In addition, several sessions will be dedicated to discussing techniques and methods, creating a learning environment for students and faculty in the cutting edge area of genomics technologies and its applications.

To provide a flavour of how NGS techniques work and how they can gather information rapidly, a realtime genotyping study will be done at the conference where samples will be collected from consenting participants on the first day and analyzed for specific single nucleotide variants (SNPs). The genotyping data will be presented on the last day of the meeting.

The special rates for registration cannot be found on the NGBT website. They can only be availed of here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JbdZwIp2_aoFTkstpcGI-wGrgff3L6XSUvaQPtRQD1M/edit#

You can also contact IndiaBioScience at this email address: team@indiabioscience.org

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested in this conference.
