D.Day 2023, Apr. 12, 2023 in Aud. D of the Amphipôle building

The Doctorate Day (D.Day) is an annual conference organized by the Association of PhD students and Assistants (ADAS) of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine-FBM of the University of Lausanne, and supported by the Doctoral School.

The event aims to connect researchers from the different departments of the faculty and, develop Ph.D. student interactions, highlight recent scientific contributions, and illustrate the wide variety of research conducted at FBM.


It is a one-day conference organized by Ph.D students for the scientific community. During the day, invited keynote speakers present their research on various topics, and PhD students are given the opportunity to share and present their work in different formats: short talks, elevator pitches, and posters. At D.Day you have the chance to present your work and discover what your neighbors are up to!
Students are encouraged to participate with either talks or posters, and by attending lectures of internationally renowned scientists. Check the program of our previous D.Days to get an idea!

Faire revivre des espèces disparues?
Mardi 25 avril 2023, 17:00-18:30h, Palais de la Rumine, Lausanne & Zoom (hybride)

Le dodo, le mammouth, le pigeon migrateur, le tigre de Tasmanie – ils font tous partie des centaines d’espèces animales connues qui ont disparu depuis l’arrivée de l’homme et son évolution culturelle et technologique. Pourtant, il existe aujourd’hui des entreprises et des organisations qui souhaitent faire revenir ces espèces, notamment à l’aide des technologies génétiques et de la médecine reproductive. Dans quelle mesure ces projets sont-ils réalistes? Quels avantages et quels risques peuvent-ils présenter pour la protection des espèces ? Et que disent-ils de notre relation avec la nature? Nous discuterons de ces questions et d’autres sur la base du livre «Faire revivre des espèces disparues?» avec les deux auteurs et d’autres spécialistes.

Intervenants:
Nadir Alvarez, Muséum cantonal des sciences naturelles de Lausanne
Lionel Cavin, Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève
Bernard Baertschi, Université de Genève
Modération: Cécile Guerin

La séance se déroulera à Lausanne, au Palais de la Rumine, sous forme hybride: une participation est possible soit sur place, soit virtuellement. La langue de la séance est le français.
Inscription jusqu’au 19 avril 2023

CIG Symposium June 8 & 9 2023: Registration is now open!

Link to the CIG Symposium website

This event focuses on the striking capacity to self-organise that is intrinsic to all living matter. How does such biological order emerge from chaos? Through the 2023 CIG Symposium “Emergence of Order Across Biological Scales” we will explore and discuss the most recent discoveries about how life is structured across scales, from molecules to cells and all the way to organisms and whole populations.
