Effective application of science requires a combination of sound knowledge and a good understanding of the socio-economic environment within which science operates. However, knowledge evolves over time. Knowing how to access and manipulate knowledge and information is thus crucial, and IT skills and tools are now essential for research, discovery, development and dissemination. Moreover, the value of scientific literacy can be harnessed through the power of these IT tools to support policy definition and decision making for national governments. In addition, the career development of young scientists has been significantly neglected, and this needs to be supported in a manner that is sensitive to local opportunities and constraints. In response to these needs, the World Academy of Young Scientists is partnering with The Scholar Ship Research Institute to set up a workshop cycle aiming at developing a scientifically literate and empowered world community of young scientists. Scientific workshops will be organized to promote the capacity building of young scientists to conduct research and to commercialise the results of that research, particularly in developing and transitional economies. The first such workshop will be held in Cape Town in March 2008. The model used to develop and hold this workshop will be replicated and scaled up in the future to offer additional regional workshops across the world in a manner which emphasises local involvement, invites local ownership and meets specific local needs.

Such methods underpin studies on the evolution and epidemiology of plant and animal parasites and disease-causing organisms, they are needed to understand the contrasting roles of vertical and horizontal inheritance in genome evolution, and more generally they allow an objective analysis of the patterns and processes generating biological diversity. To carry out phylogenetic analysis properly, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses, principles and applications of the key methods and approaches. The past few years have seen have an explosion in new methods of analysis including the application of Bayesian analysis methods in phylogeny reconstruction, the development of improved non-homogeneous models that much better represent the dynamics of sequence evolution, and the development of methods for high-throughput genome-wide analyses. This course has been designed to cater for these newest of methods and for understanding how they relate to the more traditional methods. We also address the strengths and weaknesses of all kinds of approach. Our goal is to teach technical sophistication without losing sight of the need for a critical attitude to data and analyses. The web page for the 2006 course (http://bioinf.ncl.ac.uk/molsys/) provides more information on content, but please be aware that both course and webpage are likely to be updated for the 2008 course. Applying to come on the course >From past experience we expect that demand will outstrip the availability of places – which we limit to around 25 students. EMBO also require that we have a gender and nationality balance on the course. We also try to ensure a mix of experience and biological backgrounds from the students who attend. EMBO covers the costs of student accommodation and communal meals for the duration of the course only. It does not cover the cost of your travel to Rio. There may be some monies to help to cover the travel costs to Brazil of up to three students from outside of Western Europe and North America. To apply please send a one page cover letter detailing why you wish to attend the course and what you hope to get out of it. Also send a two page CV giving details of your experience and any presentations or publications. Send your application by email to Martin.Embley [at] ncl.ac.uk to arrive by the closing date of January 1st 2008. more info

Cells use a network of interconnected pathways to suppress such mutagenesis and thus avoid carcinogenesis. They repair damaged DNA and bypass DNA-replication-blocking lesions by processes that balance efficiency and fidelity. Damage-triggered signaling pathways delay cycling of genetically-compromised cells and may eventually eliminate them. The 2008 conference will place a major emphasis on consequences for human health. A pair of keynote talks that describe "genetic landscapes" of cancer will set the stage for subsequent sessions concerned with specific genetic alternations in cancer cells and with the genetic epidemiology of sporadic cancer. Two additional sessions concerned with health endpoints will focus on cellular responses to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage that may induce secondary cancers, and consider consequences of processing of damaged DNA for tissue growth and development and for aging. Some of these talks will emphasize the value of new model systems - Arabidopsis and zebrafish - to the DNA repair and mutagenesis community. Two sessions will be concerned with molecular starting points of damage-processing pathways: the structural biology and theory of DNA-damage recognition and effects of sequence context and consequences of novel structures in lesion-free DNA. One session aims at biochemical understanding of the balance between error-prone vs. high-fidelity responses to blocked replication forks. One will consider multi-step processing pathways initiated by specific DNA lesions. Application Deadline: Applications for this meeting must be submitted by February 17, 2008. Please apply early, as some conferences become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the conference is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. You will still be able to submit your application. However, it will only be considered by the Conference Chair if there are cancellations, making more seats available.

This congress is conceived to give the Cubans and visitors the possibility of discussing the most current topics in our specialty. We shall emphasize two topics: · “Neurophysiology: From the laboratory to social impact” · “Human Brain Mapping in developing countries” Additionally we can announce that in the congress we shall present the steps carried out to create a Latin American Project of Brain Mapping sponsored by PAHO/WHO and which will carry out a previous, independent meeting, two days before the celebration of the Congress. Also PAHO/WHO will organize a session in our Congress on “Active screening and Intervention for Disabilities due to Brain Disorders”. We announce that Professors Fernando Lopes da Silva y Thalía Harmony have honored us by accepting to become the new Honorary Presidents of the Congress.

Our Congress is honored to host the Named Lectures: Mario Skurovich" (Mexico), "Guido Fernández" (Cuba, one of the founders of the Cuban Neuroscience Center), “Elio García-Austt” (Uruguay), “Francisco Varela” (Chile) as well as the “Ramón y Cajal” award. We will publish the abstracts in the journal "Clinical Neurophysiology". Our Congress will be held at a time when clinical neurophysiology is making great progress in understanding the function of the nervous system in health and disease. Nowadays, neuroscientists recognize that the electrical and magnetic signals produced by the nervous system provide exquisite time resolution for assessing the brain processes underlying perception, motor command, decision making, cognition, etc., which complement other imaging and measurement techniques. Moreover, recent advances in the fusion of neuroimages allow the combination of information provided by neurophysiology and other neuroimaging techniques. In Cuba, a remarkable development of Clinical Neurophysiology has occurred during the last decades. We have developed a nationwide network of clinical neurophysiologic laboratories. More than 44 units located at hospitals, and other medical and research institutions, are already functioning in all provinces and cities of our country. Our Society has more than 150 members, and it is recognized for its clinical and scientific achievements among all Latin-American countries, and the rest of the world. Our main goal is to provide a suitable scientific platform to discuss all topics related to clinical neurophysiology. Cubans, as hosts, will sincerely offer you a warm hospitality! more info

Cells use a network of interconnected pathways to suppress such mutagenesis and thus avoid carcinogenesis. They repair damaged DNA and bypass DNA-replication-blocking lesions by processes that balance efficiency and fidelity. Damage-triggered signaling pathways delay cycling of genetically-compromised cells and may eventually eliminate them. The 2008 conference will place a major emphasis on consequences for human health. A pair of keynote talks that describe "genetic landscapes" of cancer will set the stage for subsequent sessions concerned with specific genetic alternations in cancer cells and with the genetic epidemiology of sporadic cancer. Two additional sessions concerned with health endpoints will focus on cellular responses to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage that may induce secondary cancers, and consider consequences of processing of damaged DNA for tissue growth and development and for aging. Some of these talks will emphasize the value of new model systems - Arabidopsis and zebrafish - to the DNA repair and mutagenesis community. Two sessions will be concerned with molecular starting points of damage-processing pathways: the structural biology and theory of DNA-damage recognition and effects of sequence context and consequences of novel structures in lesion-free DNA. One session aims at biochemical understanding of the balance between error-prone vs. high-fidelity responses to blocked replication forks. One will consider multi-step processing pathways initiated by specific DNA lesions. Application Deadline: Applications for this meeting must be submitted by February 17, 2008. Please apply early, as some conferences become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the conference is oversubscribed, it will be stated here.
