Apologies for the delay in finalising the marking of the many excellent Project Reports. These along with the Reflective Journals are now all ready for collection from the main office (1st floor). Please collect these within the next 2-3 weeks if possible. All queries from students regarding wrong or missing marks have been addressed - the final marks are shown on the updated file; Note: the 'Cell Marker' exercise was removed and only 3 labs were included for the final marks. All of these sheets are also ready for collection from the main office. Final marks available here.

Attached are the marks for all tasks and 3 labs (other marking done within the labs is not included here). Some of you may have collected your Tissue Culture marked labs sheets BEFORE the marks were recorded (this not done until Tuseday).. therefore just check this carefully please. If a mark has not been recorded for a piece of marked work please attach a note to your work and return to the student box (usual place near my office). Same applies to marked work that had no name. Leave any other enquiries there and I will deal with these on my return. Marks here

Seminar marks here!

For Mid- year Honours enrolment please act NOW and contact the School as soon as possible - see http://www.anhb.uwa.edu.au/for/students/honours2 (look in the left hand menu for more info)

Link to outline of exam here!

There will NO tutorials next week: instead, all information is clearly available on the Timetable. (Therefore only one lecture on Monday).

Please note the corrected times in your Project Seminar Program for next week. Please come to all sessions if you can.

Miranda Grounds will be AWAY overseas from May 26 to June 7th (with limited email access).

The written Project Report must be left in the usual place by the deadline: 2pm on Thursday 28th May . Late submissions will have 5% deducted for the first day and an additional 5% from Monday with an further 2% for every day after this. Do NOT submit these written Reports by email.

Please burn all your data, ppt seminar and written Reports onto a disk for your Academic Supervisor and give to them. Thankyou, Miranda

If anyone left a blue scientific calculator was left at one of the labs, let me know if it is yours.

Considering mid-year Honours? Applications are due by the end of May - checkout details on http://www.anhb.uwa.edu.au/for/students/honours2 (look in the menu of left side).

1. Journal club IV (week 11) will be held in the seminar room (first floor) for both Monday and Wednesday. All information for Journal Club III/IV is on the Timetable of the wwww so that you can study your papers NOW. Will also commment and answer any questions on seminar presentations (read the notes in the Handbook). (Note, Marc Ruitenberg was scheduled to take half the class and that is why his name appears in the list of students: just turn up in the allocated room)

2. The Timetable for seminar presentations in week 12 (Monday and Wed) is shown in the attached document HERE

The Essay submission deadline is 5pm on THURSDAY 23rd (was erroneously stated as Wednesday). This deadline is inflexible (unless notified well in advance).

Just to clarify that all T2 tutorials (on Tuesday and Thursday) will be held in the Seminar room on the first floor. The T1 tutorials will continue to be held in G03 on the Ground floor (unless otherwise notified)

Change in Timetable. The T1 tutorial for next week Journal Club 2 has been delayed until week 8 and has swapped with the T2 Tutorial on Stem cells.

This is because the Essay is not submitted now until AFTER Easter and thus makes sense to delay the journal Club 2 that is related to the Essay.

Please note this change, and that will now have Stem cells as the T1 tutorial next week.

Guy Ben-Ary will be away from CELLCentral from the 4th of April till the 30th of April. So please see him pronto (by the end of next week) if you need to. While he is away you can use the facility as long as you booked the imaging station and have been inducted by Guy or your supervisor. So please contact him now if you need him to train you and show you how to use the equipment and book sessions. Otherwise this can be done at the beginning of May.

Also- a new protocol for the Immunohistochemistry lab is now on the timetable page.

The ART & SCIENCE: biological artists exercise should also be tackled BEFORE NEXT WEEK as this will be discussed at the Creativity tutorial (T1) with Oron Catts. Please explore the links (should be fun) and consider discussing one of the artists (Even if you have not written anything formally). The revised date for submission of this written work will be the END of week 7 i.e by 5pm on the Thursday before Easter. Again, apologies for the short notice but Oron is keen to include this exercise in his tutorial.

Exercise 10 on Immunohistochemistry (originally due in week 9) will now be done pronto to fit in with the Immuno labs.

Please BRING YOUR ANSWERS TO THE Immuno lab (week 6 or week 7) and they will be marked and discussed there. (apologies for the short notice)

Please note that the Wednesday lectures in week 9 and 10 have been swapped- Adhesion Molecules is now in week 10 and Development of CNS is week 9.

Also note that if you notice other discrepancies between the timetable in the book and that on the website, follow the website- some minor changes have been made.

*There will be a lecture on Digital Imaging next Monday at 9am (week 5) instead of the scheduled lecture on Cell Replication etc that will move to week 6 (on Monday at 9am). Thus note that there is now a lecture instead of the scheduled 'project time'. This is now also shown on the WWW Timetable.

Sign up now for sessions on Endnoting. Next 2 training sessions in the library are on-

Thursday 19 March, 3.00 – 4.30 & Thursday 2 April, 12.15 – 1.45 pm in the Reid Training Room

March 5th changes.

(1) The dates for the sumission of the ESSAY have now been fixed as AFTER Easter on Wednesday 23 by 5pm (put them in the collection point in room 204 near my office). This has also been changed on the Timetable. Thankyou to the diligent students who kindly brought to my attention the inconsistency between the submission dates for the WWW and Handbook for this and the items below.

(2) Please note that ALL The final project group Seminars will now be held be in WEEK 12 (probably on the Monday and Thursday labs, but details will be finalised later).

(3) The project REPORTS will be submitted in week 13 as originally planned by 2pm on Thursday 28th . This has also been changed on the Timetable. This removes confusion about various other dates in the Handbook as 2pm Thursday 8th, 9am Thursday 31st and the WWW as 9am, 21st May!

Project groups have been updated- as of the 6th March

Excercise 1 has been updated please use new document, minor changes to excerise B in particular.
