With an ever growing global population and increased international travel, pandemics are now expected to occur more frequently. Influenza is the most common cause of pandemics during the last century, with the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic causing up to 50 million deaths.

Influenza pandemics occur at unpredictable intervals when a novel virus arises by changing its viral host specificity to spread in humans, with pigs acting as a mixing vessel for avian and human viruses.

Talks:
Nina Langeland: “Covid-19, spredning og komplikasjoner: COVID-19, transmission and complications.”
Rebecca Cox: “Influensavirus som pandemisk agens: Influenza as a pandemic virus.”

For some, it can feel very isolating to do research and writing. Or for others, it can be very social, with writing sessions or co-authors. What does it mean to think of academic writing as a form of academic networking?

This seminar will tackle the challenges and opportunities that come with writing alongside/with others, whether socially as friends and colleagues, or scientifically as co-authors, etc. We will discuss how you can strengthen your local, national and international research networks through innovative ways of approaching your writing process.

Appropriate for researchers at all stages of career.

Teacher:  Laura Saetveit Miles, professor in English literature, renowned lecturer in career development and academic professionalization.
