Hello to all of our members! Our holiday sabbatical is finally complete, and our 2016 committee returns to help assist you in your BMS endeavours!

Gold Standard GAMSAT is offering a $50 discount to all BioMedical Sciences Assocation members who wish to attend their live courses, (se gamsattestpreparation.com/gamsat-courses-perth.html). If you would like to attend just 1 full day to focus on either Biological Sciences or Physical Sciences, this complies with the offer too ($250 instead of $499).

Referencing this post, email [email protected] to claim your discount! In addition, Gold Standard will also be giving away free GAMSAT apps to the first 10 people who respond to this post. Please comment your full name and student email below should you be interested.

For those experiencing difficulty preparing for Section 3. Gold Standard will hold a free webinar on GAMSAT Biology Graph Analysis (one of the most frequent topics come up in the recent sittings) on January 17th at 7pm AEDT (4pm in Perth): https://www.facebook.com/events/430970983768992/

Good luck with your GAMSAT study (!) and keep a close eye on this space for other pre-GAMSAT goodies that BMS will help you out with!

Hi everyone, just a quick reminder to all UWA students that PAL is starting this week!

Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) is a FREE peer-led group study program for science students doing level 1 units.

It's weekly and goes for approximately 1 hour and is taught by students who have successfully completed the units when they were in first year!

PAL is not just for students who are struggling with the content, it can be used by anyone to study effectively and stay on top of your studies by consolidating concepts each week.

It is never too late to sign-up for PAL! Go to the community section of LMS and you'll find it listed there!

Cya there!

Nanotechnology: Do We Live in Richard Feynman’s Science Fiction?

A public lecture by Axel Lorke, Chair, Faculty of Physics and CENIDE, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany will be on in Murdoch Lecture Theatre in the Arts Building at UWA on the Monday 10th August at 6pm!

In 1959, Richard Feynman, one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century, delivered a lecture, envisioning a technology based on the ability to see, manipulate and build objects on the smallest scale - at the atomic level. Introducing to the world the concept that seeded the field of nanotechnology.

Feynman’s speech has now become a widely quoted manifesto of modern nanoscience.

In this public lecture, Richard Feynman’s talk will be taken as a “wish list from the past” to discuss which of his visionary ideas modern nanotechnology has been able to realise. How has his concept transformed science, technology, and our society as a whole? What has been discovered that Feynman might not have thought of? And what future technologies may emerge from present-day nanoscience research?

Professor Axel Lorke received his PhD in Experimental Physics in 1991 from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat (LMU) Munich. In 2000 he was appointed Full Professor (C4) of Experimental Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen. His work focuses on the electronic and optical properties nano-structures and low-dimensional semiconductors.

Professor Lorke has a wealth of knowledge and insight into the field of nanotechnology and he presently serves as scientific director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Analytics on the Nanoscale and board member of the Nanoenergy Technology Center.
