It will be held at the Australian National University in Canberra from 5-7 September 2018. This conference covers the role of gas mixtures in distributing chemical elements, modifying materials and transferring heat from the atomic through parsec scales. Advances in understanding gas-solid reactions form a basis for improving removal of greenhouse gases from Earth's atmosphere, enhancing models of volcanic processes, aiding ore deposit exploration, and probing planet-forming regions beyond our solar system. The program includes: * Fundamental processes in gas-solid interactions * Planets and stars * Volcanoes and the Earth's Crust * CO2 sequestration * Gas-solid interactions in solar thermal and manufacturing * Early career workshop and future research planning The public lecture will be given by Professor Klaus Lackner from Arizona State University. To register please visit https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/5TcHC1WZXriwo7KrCLAIfS?domain=efwhiteconference2018.wordpress.com Abstracts are due on 15 July 2018. Abstract submission details are available on the website. Travel scholarships are available for Honours or Masters students, please see the website for more details. Attached is a poster regarding the conference. Could you please circulate this email throughout your department and put the poster up on department noticeboards?

We encourage you to pass this information to your members, staff and/or stakeholders. Professional Scientists Remuneration Survey TAKE PART [/var/folders/3c/3m87_2ts6jg7mbvl97y1y4pm0000gp/T/com.microsoft.Outlook/WebArchiveCopyPasteTempFiles/66bc0431-5853-4dcf-a856-31d0c793ba49.jpg] The deadline for the 2018 Professional Scientists Remuneration Survey is closing soon - Be sure that your field and your discipline are represented! Last year, the survey provided important insights into improving wages and a lack of opportunities for female STEM professionals. This year, we hope to use the findings of our survey to help us get science on the agenda during the upcoming Federal Election. We are proud to be partnered with Professionals Australia to deliver this annual survey. Click below to take part. Science meets Policymakers 2018 [/var/folders/3c/3m87_2ts6jg7mbvl97y1y4pm0000gp/T/com.microsoft.Outlook/WebArchiveCopyPasteTempFiles/e5a87024-c7d7-40d3-a69a-c5b33ddd9879.jpg] Science meets Policymakers is evolving to enable STA Members to gain skills and knowledge to navigate and engage with the world of policy making. To bring Science meets Policymakers to a broader audience this year, instead of an event we'll be creating a series of enduring video sessions, drawing from the expertise of leaders in the sector. These resources will be free and available to members, and circulated in second half of 2018. Watch for more updates in the coming months.

A huge thanks to everyone that volunteered to be a mentor. We were fortunate to have more mentors than mentees, so not everyone received a request to mentor someone. If you were hoping to be mentored and also filled out our mentoring survey, but didn?t receive an email from us, please let us know as soon as possible. We would also like to highlight the speed meet-a-mentor session at the ASA Annual Scientific Meeting. This is a great opportunity to meet senior colleagues and begin to develop new relationships and networks. Speed meet-a-mentor is open to everyone regardless of whether you are a member of the ASA or the ECR Chapter, so please plan to be there.

The School is jointly hosted by the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research and CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science, with generous support from the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. We welcome further registrations until the deadline of Friday, 6 July 2018. While past Radio Schools in Australia have traditionally been designed around the ATCA and Parkes, we are now turning our focus towards the new capabilities provided by the SKA precursor telescopes in Western Australia, namely ASKAP and the MWA. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of radio interferometry, the School will introduce participants to hands-on reduction of data from ASKAP and MWA. With the advent of science operations on ASKAP and MWA phase 2, the School also intends to facilitate more cross-use of the two facilities and to expose participants to tools and techniques likely to be useful for analysis of data from the future Square Kilometre Array. Participants will also be introduced to the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, part of which is dedicated to the reduction and analysis of radio astronomy data. The 2018 ICRAR/CASS Radio School is aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in astronomy. The format of the School will be similar to previous CASS Radio Schools, with a mix of lectures and practical sessions. No prior experience with radio interferometry is required. The registration fee will be AUD 300 and will cover lunches, tea/coffee, the conference dinner, and a day trip to the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, the site of ASKAP, MWA, EDGES, and the future home of the low-frequency component of the SKA. For more information on the School and the registration form, please see the official Radio School website: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/WqelCANZvPiJD00jcGfZW5?domain=icrar.org A poster advertising the school is attached to this announcement. We would appreciate it if you could forward this email to students and postdocs at your institute and put the poster up on noticeboards. Please don?t hesitate to contact either Tobias Westmeier (tobias.westmeier at icrar.org) or any other member of the SOC if you have any questions or enquiries regarding the School.
