AuPS Scientific Meeting: Sydney 25^th-28^th November 2018
Prof Marcello Costa, Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor and Professor of Neurophysiology Human Physiology College of Medicine and Public Health, and long term member of AuPS has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for advancing the entire field and such advances have been recognised by all the societies of the world Federation of Neurogastroenterology and Motility. This is a notable achievement for a long career in contributing to neurogastroenterology, a field that seeks to understand the neurological underpinnings of various gastroenterological diseases. Prof Costa's speech will be a feature in the next AuPS newsletter.

Physiology Events and Conferences

ANZOS & Breakthrough Discoveries 2018
Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre, 16-18 October 2018.

This October, the basic science meeting Breakthrough Discoveries in Metabolism, Diabetes & Obesity will be held, the second in the Metabolic Diseases series. The conference topics span a broad range of scientific disciplines, including but not limited to biochemistry, physiology, immunology, cell biology, cell signalling and systems biology. Seven highly acclaimed international speakers headline the conference alongside some of the best national researchers in the field.

In addition, Breakthrough Discoveries have partnered with the Australian and New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS), holding a joint meeting to promote the collaborative benefit for basic science researchers to met and mingle with clinicians and clinician researchers.

Abstract submissions and Registration are now open
The International Research Group on Biochemistry of Exercise is pleased to announce that the next International Biochemistry of Exercise Conference (IBEC 2018) will be held in Beijing from 23 to 25 October 2018. The event will be organized by Ye Tian and his colleagues and more information will be available shortly. Please email tianye@ciss.cn to register your interest and receive further updates.
Nephrology: from the Laboratory to the Clinic
The Joint meeting of the Kidney in Health and Disease Network and Renal Scientists will be held in Blenheim, Marlborough NZ from the 6-8^th December 2018.
National Collaborative Writing Group for teaching specialists/teaching-focussed academics in the Higher Education science/biomedical science realm
Australian Physiology Competition (APC) - for Australian & New Zealand Medical Schools

This National Physiology Quiz has been developed by some of our UNSW Medical Students following their experiences at the International Medical Schools Physiology Quiz in Kuala Lumpur earlier in the year. The Physiology Department at UNSW has been selecting our top Physiology students to compete in this event over the past 10 years and it is a fantastic way to engage our students to review and further their study of Physiology and to also meet up and form networks with undergrad Physiology students from around the world. This year about 100 University teams from around the world, and particularly from South-East Asia, participated in this 2-day event in KL. A number of countries have recently established National quizzes as a prelude to this International event, and our aim is to also establish an Australian/Australasian Quiz event. For further information and to register, students can email australianphysiologycomp@gmail.com or or check out the Facebook page. Staff are also welcome to attend (but can't compete :-) !)

Australian Functional Genomics initiative
We are creating a network to connect researchers who can investigate functional genomics of newly discovered genes and variants. If you are a researcher who can investigate the mechanisms of gene variants using in vitro, in vivo or in silico methods, we want you to register your interest in Australian Functional Genomics!
Scientists in Schools Program:
Scientists in Schools is a national program that seeks to bring volunteer scientists, including applied scientists, engineers and mathematicians,together with teachers into an ongoing professional partnership, with the aim of increasing awareness of contemporary scientific endeavour and knowledgewithin our school communities.
