            <title>BrisScience: Plugging into our future - the research powering the energy debate</title>
            <link>http://www.uq.edu.au/events/event_view.php?event_id=5904</link>
            <description><![CDATA[BrisScience in partnership with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) on the occasion of ATSE’s 32nd National Symposium - Future-proofing Australia: Rising to the Challenge of Climate

Change Australia’s energy requirements are growing every year, with Queensland’s consumption increasing more quickly than anywhere else. But what will feed this growth over the next ten or fifty years? With climate change at crisis point, low emission technologies and renewable energy will be essential for Australia’s energy future.

There is healthy debate, however, amongst environmentalists, engineers, governments, and residents as to what those technologies should be. Should we be building wind generators, installing solar panels or investing in carbon capture and storage? Will geothermal and wave power be viable? What about nuclear energy? Most importantly, what are the costs, benefits and risks of the upcoming technologies, and how will they affect you, the consumer?

Join Dr Joel Gilmore and a team of expert panelists as they discuss the merits and implications of a range of current and future technologies – from wind to solar to clean coal, and more – in this special BrisScience session in partnership with ATSE.

Panelists include:

    * John Loughhead, Executive Director, UK Energy Research Centre
    * Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg – Director, Global Change Institute, UQ
    * Professor Kelly Thambimuthu , FTSE – Director, Centre for Coal Energy Technology (CCETech), UQ
    * Peter Meurs – Managing Director, Worley Parsons
    * Dr Adrian Williams, Australian Representative, International Partnership for Geothermal Technology

Venue: State Library of Queensland, Auditorium 1
Date: Tuesday 17 November, 2009 @ 6.30 pm (Doors open at 6 pm)

            <link>http://www.uq.edu.au/events/event_view.php?event_id=5900</link>
            <description><![CDATA[UQ’s Schools of Business, Economics, Law and Tourism invite their alumni to a complimentary lunchtime lecture with Major General (Retd) Jim Molan, one of Australia’s most distinguished and experienced military leaders.

In 2004, he was deployed as the Coalition’s Chief of Operations and oversaw a multi-national force of 300,000 troops, including 155,000 US troops. His assignment: restore order in Iraq, protect his troops and bring about the first democratic elections ever held in the country.

Major General (Retd) Molan is well placed to offer a unique perspective on modern warfare and to present an insider’s view of the war in Iraq.

Places are strictly limited so be sure to secure yours today. RSVP by 11 November 2009 to k.hofmann@bel.uq.edu.au or 3365 1546.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Professor Jonathan Flint from the Wellcome Trust Centre, UK, will be discussing the genetic basis of complex traits (such as asthma, mood disorders, apopotisis and obesity) in mice. 

Jonathan Flint has been heavily researching the link between gene variations and psychiatric  disorders  for over a decade, including large scale studies of thousands of people to look for common genetic variants. 

He discovered that small variations in the ends of chromosomes could be linked to mental retardation, and that these variations are the second most common cause of mental retardation after Down Syndrome.]]></description>

            <title>In conversation Judy Watson: Heron Island</title>
            <link>http://www.uq.edu.au/events/event_view.php?event_id=5917</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Join artist Judy Watson in conversation with Louise Martin-Chew.

Acclaimed artist Judy Watson visited Heron Island in February 2009 as artist-in-residence at The University of Queensland’s Research Station. Her residency coincided with the official launch of the Research Station, rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in 2007. Scientists speaking during her visit gave Watson an insight into how such remote and apparently pristine marine environments are showing signs of pollution and temperature changes linked to global warming. Her experiences resonate in a range of works in this exhibition, including sculpture and paintings, prints and drawings, sound and video. Curated by Michele Helmrich.

Arts writer Louise Martin-Chew is co-author of `Judy Watson blood language`, with Judy Watson.  Louise has worked in the visual arts industry for more than twenty years and is a former editor of `Art and Australia`.  She regularly contributes to `The Australian` and other national arts magazines, catalogues and books.

Exhibition continues until 22 November 2009.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. 

Free. All welcome.
