University of Canberra's 2023 Krebs Lecture will be given by Professor Hugh Possingham

The CBA and the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics are hosting a symposium on new advances in 3rd-generation genomics in genome assembly, haplotypes, pangenomes, and structural variation.

A technical training workshop that will provide an overview of models from matrix-analytic-methods (MAMs) and how they could be used in practical applications.

What is evolutionary science? Who is an evolutionary scientist? What role does evolutionary science have to play in the future of Australian science? How can we shape that future?

Emma Sherratt and Mario Dos Reiswill present a workshop and seminar each on using genomic and morphological data to study the tree of life.

Discussion of recent advances using fossil information integrated in the form of morphometric data to allow simultaneous inference of speciation times, morphological rates of evolution and ancestral character reconstructions.

This talk will discuss what can be learnt about evolution and development from comparing the shape of structures such as bones, exoskeletons, and leaves.

A round table discussion with Rudolf Meier from Museum fur Naturkunde, on how his rapid, accurate, scalable, and cost-effective species discovery and delimitation methods can benefit Australian systematics and taxonomy.

Rudolf Meier, from the Museum fur Naturkunde in Berlin will discuss his novel methods to accelerate biodiversity discovery and monitoring of "dark taxa" using robotics, machine learning imaging and nanopore sequencing.
