Message from Haris:
ESA’s new MOOC on ‘Monitoring Climate from Space’, designed and produced by Imperative Space, is now open for enrolment and will commence on 8th June 2015. Thousands of learners have already signed up for the course, and we would be delighted if you would also like to participate, or encourage others to do so.

ABSTRACTS AND REGISTRATION
ABSTRACT DEADLINE: 25 May 2015
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 6 June 2015
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and organisations from a range of disciplines with shared interests in the development of new approaches for data handling, generation and analysis in environmental omics. Science areas of interest include bioinformatics, DNA-barcoding, genomics, metagenomics, metabarcoding, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenetics, evolutionary and ecological omics, phylogenetics, study of ancient DNA and anthropology, new tools, resources and training, and beyond as applied to the study of the natural environmental and environmentally relevant organisms and systems. It is our hope is that the resulting interaction and exchange of ideas will lead to novel approaches, new collaborations and the consolidation of a wider integrated environmental ‘omics community.
EOS and this conference is supported by Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) through its Mathematics and Informatics for Environmental ‘Omics Data Synthesis programme and the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Global Challenges programme.
On behalf of the organising Committee:
Professor Thomas Meagher (Chair)

The remit of the symposium is broad, including all aspects of molecular and genome evolution, including method development, molecular ecology, population genetics and experimental evolution.
This will be a day-long event consisting of two plenary lectures, a series of contributed talks, and a poster session. Plenary lectures this year will be given by Adam Eyre-Walker (Sussex University http://www.lifesci.susx.ac.uk/home/Adam_Eyre-Walker/Website/Welcome.html ), on “The role of recombination and mutation in the adaptive process” and Ashleigh Griffin (University of Oxford,http://www.zoo.ox.ac.uk/group/griffin/ ) on “The Behavioural Ecology of Bacteria Causing Infections”.
We are now inviting abstracts for talks: see https://manchestermage.wordpress.com for details. Deadline for submission of Talk titles and abstracts: Thursday 14th May
MaGE is free to attend, but places are limited so please register soon (from the website above) and submit a title if you would like to present a talk or poster. We are particularly keen to give PhD students and post-docs a chance to present their work. All contributed talks and posters will also be considered for a prize, presented at the drinks reception following the symposium.
