K2 NYTT WEEK 23
Dear all
The end of spring semester is approaching and along come the tasks of mid-term PhD evaluations as well as student (bachelor/master) theses evaluations. Exams have hopefully been prepared, ready to release but censoring awaits. The 20th of June is the coming full-scale OSCE; 160 6th semester students going through skill stations. We wish you the best taking care of this task and thanks to all contributors!
Producing written or OSCE exams, sitting though evaluations and performing censoring is not visualized in the educational schedule (as opposed to lectures), but this work is not less important! The students’ studying will often be guided by (former) exams. Thus it is important to develop tasks/questions considered of high importance for what the students really need to learn to perform in their future roles as pharmacist, doctors, nutritionists, molecular biologists or whatever field you as K2 teacher is responsible for.
And do not forget: note all your exam/evaluation work in your teaching portfolio that you have easily available at your computer. This to ensure documentation of your contribution in this part of your academic/teaching position.
And finally; when all evaluations are finished for this semester: enjoy summer without educational responsibilities.

Helseinnovatørskolen (norwegian only)
Helseinnovatørskolen er et kurstilbud i innovasjon og entreprenørskap for fremtidens leger og helseforskere i Skandinavia. Målet er å lære deltakerne hvordan innovasjonsprosesser i biotek- og medtek-bedrifter fungerer.
Til høsten starter neste runde med Helseinnovatørskolens kurs «Entrepreneurship in healthcare», påmeldingsfrist 27. juni.
Der vil deltakerne lære hvordan man kan gjøre en forskningside om til en bedrift. De lærer fra erfarne entreprenører og forskere, eksempler på mentorselskaper og inkubatorer på kurset er AstraZeneca, Serendipity partners og Aleap health incubator.
Intervju med deltakere: “Møttes på Helseinnovatørskolen – nå starter de selskap”

Falch Lecture 2018
Welcome to the Falch Lecture 2018 by Philippe Van de Perre.
Professor Philippe Van de Perre from the University Montpellier, France is professor of medicine and virology and head of Department of bacteriology-virology and vice-president of the directorate of the University Teaching Hospital in Montpellier. He is also the director of the INSERM research unit “Pathogenesis and Control of Chronic Infection”.
Philippe Van de Perre is involved in HIV research since 1982. As long-term resident in Rwanda – where he conducted the first cohort study demonstrating the transmission of HIV by breastfeeding (NEJM 1991) – and in Burkina Faso, he has focused mostly on translational research on mechanisms of transmission of HIV and associated infections. He has served in multiple expert consultations for WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS and EU/EDCTP, mainly on breastfeeding and HIV prevention. He has authored over 450 scientific articles and chapters, with more than 14,000 citations and an H index of 65.
Over the last 15 years, he has had a close collaboration with the Centre for International Health at the University of Bergen on the prevention of transmission of HIV-1 by breastfeeding.
The title of the lecture is: “Mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1” and it’s part of the Faculty Day 2018. Read more about ithere: https://www.uib.no/en/med/117882/faculty-day-2018
The lecture will be followed by a light lunch.

Sun and joy
It is not only the sunny days we can be happy about these days: 4 of 6 awards of the Medical faculty go to researchers/environments at K2! Mari Kyllesø Halle gets the award for the PhD thesis of the year for her thesis “Molecular alterations suggesting new treatment strategies in uterine carcinomas”, The Academic Quality Award (Studiekvalitetsprisen) goes to FARM295 Pharmaceutics (Galenisk farmasi) with course responsible Emmet McCormack, Gottfried Greve gets The Internationalization of Education Award (Pris for internasjonalisering i studiene) for his efforts in MED9, and Rebecca Cox and Kristin Greve-Isdahl Mohn are awarded the Dissemination award of the year for their contributions to the vaccine debate. The awards of the Medical faculty will be handed out at the Faculty day June 14th 2018 10.00-13.00 at Haukeland University Hospital, Main Auditorium. Congratulations to all of you!
So far I have not gotten any input regarding thematic area you consider important for future-oriented research that Pål wrote about in K2Nytt week 19. You still have today to come with suggestions (deadline is 1.6.), so take this opportunity to influence the future of K2!
Best regards,
Silke
HSE corner: Empty the backup freezer in 1M.
There are currently several (forgotten) samples in the freezer that are not on the list of content. We ask that everyone take responsibility for a check of samples that have been left behind, and remind you that the use of the freezer must be agreed with Julie Stavnes.
