We are currently seeking nominations (self-nominations encouraged) for the ASPS teaching award. The ASPS Teaching Award recognises excellence, innovation and/or other contributions with successful learning outcomes to teaching plant science at the University level. Many of us have experienced (and implement) recently, a significant change in the way we teach plant sciences. We encourage our members to consider sharing and promoting their experiences by nominating for this award.

 

Nominations can be sent to the secretary@asps.org.au by Friday the 29th of May, 2020.

 

Kind regards, 

 

Dr Simon Williams

The Australian Academy of Science have asked us to advertise the call for applications for the Boden Conference award. The Academy established this award to fund small specialist conferences in the biological sciences with the generous support of the late Dr Alex Boden AO FAA. These conferences, which usually run for about 2 days, are designed to bring together researchers working in rapidly advancing fields to discuss current advances and problems. A sum of up to $10,000 is provided, and organisers are encouraged to seek additional funding from other sources. One conference is funded annually.

 

Applications close on June 1 2020.
