SUMMARY:Location\, Location\, Location: Immune Protection by Tissue-Resident T-Cells
DESCRIPTION:T cells are specialised immune cells that are central to the complex\, adaptive immune response to infection and disease. T cells are “trained” to recognise specific fragments or components of viruses\, bacteria\, and other pathogens (e.g. a component of the influenza virus or tuberculosis bacterium). \nDuring an infection\, those T cells that recognise the infectious agent will be activated to respond – either killing infected cells or coordinating the attack. Following infection\, a pool of memory T cells remains in the body to provide better and faster responses upon re-encountering the same pathogen because they are already trained to recognise it. Some memory T cells permanently reside in the site of infection where they are poised to mediate local immune responses should the pathogen come back. They are hence regarded as “tissue-resident memory T cells” and reside in tissues that are common sites of infection\, including the skin\, intestine and liver\, where they elicit site-specific responses. \nJoin Professor Laura Mackay from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity\, whose work has been instrumental in the discovery of these cells and their role\, to learn about recent advances in understanding the biological functions of these cells and their critical role in providing protection against infection and cancer. Laura’s work offers new insights to treatment and opportunities for the development of novel immunotherapies. \nTickets are available below to participate in the webinar via Zoom and/or Eventbrite. RSV Members are prompted to enter their promotional code to access a member’s ticket. Alternatively\, you can watch along via Facebook Live at the appointed time without buying a ticket….read more.

SUMMARY:Hunter Branch Meeting 2021-1: On readying our region for low emissions technology
DESCRIPTION:On readying our region for low emissions technology\nDr Alan Finkel AO FTSE FAA\nFormer Chief Scientist of Australia \nThis presentation\, from the University of Newcastle and the Royal Society of NSW\, coincides with the visit by Dr Finkel to the University of Newcastle.  It includes a public address\, and an in-depth interview which will allow his audience to understand and explore the vast opportunities available through low emissions or carbon neutral technologies. \nIn particular he will share insights into the government and technology directions and how regional industries might respond\, particularly in the context of the Hunter in which the University of Newcastle is leading research in clean hydrogen energy\, the transition to zero emission mining of aluminum\, iron ore and steel\, renewable energy storage technology\, and bio-sequestration in regional farming practices. \nDr Alan Finkel AO is one of Australia’s most distinguished scientific\, engineering\, and academic advisers and advocates for innovation in technology. In 2021 he completed his tenure as Australia’s Chief Scientist and has since been appointed Special Adviser to the Commonwealth Government on the research\, development\, transition\, and application of low emissions technology. \nHe is noted for making the topics of science\, engineering\, technology\, accessible and exciting to young people through his advice and contributions to the development of the nation’s modern STEM curriculum. \nRegistration is required for either attendance in person or attendance online.

SUMMARY:Southern Highlands Branch Meeting 2020-4: Burnout — the hottest issue
DESCRIPTION:Burnout — the hottest issue\nProfessor Gordon Parker AO\nScientia Professor of Psychiatry\nUNSW (Sydney) \nSummary: The talk will cover key symptoms of burnout\, its history\, prevalence\, personal and financial impact\, causes and best management models. \nProfessor Gordon Parker AO is Scientia Professor of Psychiatry\, UNSW\, was Founder of the Black Dog Institute and its initial Executive Director\, Head of the School of Psychiatry at UNSW\, and Director of the Division of Psychiatry at Prince of Wales Hospital. His positions with the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Psychiatrists include being Editor of its Journal. Positions with legal organisations include the NSW Guardianship Board and the NSW Administrative Appeals Tribunal. In 2004 he received a Citation Laureate as the Australian Scientist most highly cited in ‘Psychiatry/Psychology’. In 2018 he received the prestigious James Cook Medal from the Royal Society of New South Wales\, and was recipient of the 2020Australian Mental Health Prize. His research has focussed on the mood disorders. He has published 23 books and over 1\,000 scientific reports. His first of fiction was published in 1966 and his latest novel (“In Two Minds”) in 2017. In the 60’s\, he wrote for The Mavis Bramston Show and OZ Magazine\, was an ABC Science broadcaster\, a book reviewer for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian\, and in 2004 had a play (“Personality Games”) produced by La Mama in Melbourne. His autobiography “A Piece of My Mind: A Psychiatrist on the Couch” was published in 2012. His co-authored book on Burnout will be published on 1 July 2021. \nFor details read more.

SUMMARY:Why the world needs ecologists
DESCRIPTION:We are drowning in bad news. Two pages into the (1000pg) United Nations Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and you’ll be pleading for Tolstoy. Even David Attenborough is depressing these days. \nEcosystems collapse and species loss is being documented across the planet\, with profound existential ramifications. Habitat degradation and loss remains the key driver of biodiversity loss\, but climate change and invasive species promise to compound the damages we have wrought. \nTo save you days of morbid reading\, Professor Brendan Wintle will provide a short and cheerful summary of the global extinction crisis\, including Australia’s prominent and expanding role in species’ extirpation. \n“To live without hope is to cease to live” (Dostoyevsky). So Brendan will celebrate the hopeful and crucial role that ecologists can play (and are playing) in co-designing and implementing solutions to the extinction crisis in partnership with private land conservation organisations\, Indigenous land managers\, developers\, and governments. Science\, civil society\, business and policy makers can work constructively to bring the transformative change needed to ‘bend the curve’. \nBrendan will give positive examples of some great collaborations that seek to keep our unique species\, ecosystems and cultures intact\, and will finish with a suite of practical measures that society and individuals can pursue to bring benefits to nature and people. \nTickets are available below to participate in the webinar via Zoom and/or Eventbrite. RSV Members are prompted to enter their promotional code to access a member’s ticket. Alternatively\, you can watch along via Facebook Live at the appointed time without buying a ticket….read more.
