SOLD OUT!
The science of MURDER—poisons, venom and a peek in to what makes a killer.
Come and take a dark and intriguing look at the history of poisons and venoms in war; the ingredients that make a murderer; modern murders with strange new weapons; and ways in which we’re using poison to murder cancer cells.
Inspired by the natural osmotic process, ubiquitous to all living cells, forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) are now emerging as alternative membrane technologies for desalination and energy generation. Discussing and sharing the latest progress and envisioning the future perspectives within the academia and industries is however vital for the progress of these novel technologies. IFOS has been therefore founded with the main aim to provide a specific forum and also aims to encourage more academia and industries on board to this field.
Jupiter’s icy moons, frozen comets and perhaps even water on Mars—extra-terrestrial water used to be the stuff of speculative science fiction but thanks to new equipment and techniques we now know for sure that the life-giving liquid exists off Earth.
Program Poster Conference information
Professor Jeffrey Reimers FAA is the recipient of the 2016 David Craig Medal and Lecture and will be presenting a series of David Craig lectures across Australia.
Life is a strange subject, but it affects us all—one Australian is born every 1.45 minutes, while one dies every 3.25 minutes. We’re good at talking about the beginnings of life, but pretty awkward when it comes to facing the end.
