eWaste collection in November

Please bring your old/non-working electronics to 6 Science Road (E8B), room 204 OR 205a Culloden Road room G84. Admin will be arranging disposal at the end of November. Remember to remove all data from hard drives. If you have queries, contact <fse.bio-adm@mq.edu.au> or for The Hill <josh.aldridge@mq.edu.au>.


New MQ Authorship and Peer Review Standards

All researchers should familiarise themselves with the newly-released Macquarie University Authorships Standard; this outlines how to assign authorship and author order, and dealing with conflicts.
 
Also recently released is the Peer Review Standard, providing direction for how to participate in peer review in a way that is fair, rigorous and timely whilst maintaining the confidentiality of the content. Peer Review is a lynchpin of research publishing so upholding these principles helps to increase confidence in research by increasing its veracity and reproducibility.
Contact research.integrity@mq.edu.au or a Research Integrity Advisor with questions or concerns about research conduct.

Biofoundry Project – Fire Hydrant Installation – E8A/E8C

You may have already noticed that the entry into 14EAR (E8A) has been fenced off for the installation of a fire hydrant. You will only be able to enter via 6WW (E8C) and the doors along 14 Eastern Rd, signage is in place to direct you.


End of Year – Processing Deadlines via Admin team = 16th-23rd November 2020

The end of the year is approaching fast! The admin team needs your help to ensure all administration processes are finalised before the university shuts down. Any items below that don’t have a due date yet will be updated in due course.

To help us carry out your request, please email fse.bio-adm@mq.edu.au

 


(click image to view)

What Happens to 2020 Funds?
Grants ending this year, funds in operating accounts or 2020 approved HDR funds may be absorbed by the faculty. Please spend funds by the above dates to prevent this from happening.

If you hold a research grant and need an extension, request one as soon as possible. Please contact Veronica Peralta, veronica.peralta@mq.edu.au if you are unsure about how to do this.

What if I can’t meet the deadlines?

Please contact the Department Manager Sharyon O’Donnell.

Admin understands that requests may be needed after these dates but we cannot guarantee that your request will be met due to our extreme workload during this busy time. If we cannot process your request, it will be held for processing in 2021.

Admin may have a closed-door policy, dependent on the workload.


Travelling? Submit your Absence on Duty!

Reminder: ALWAYS submit an Absence on Duty (https://ask.mq.edu.au/account/forms/display/aod) when travelling for research/business purposes:

– Fieldwork: both Absence on Duty AND Field Friendly – and please submit AoD as soon as you know about the trip.
Even if trip dates may change – admin can handle this! Give as much notice as possible.
Even if unsure travel will go ahead – better to get AoD approval anyway.

Admin have had several cases recently of staff/students going into the Field without prior AoD approval, and then requesting reimbursement – this is against University policy.

Best practice: email fse.bio-adm@mq.edu.au to inform the admin team, and they can advise you.


MQRIS funding Schemes

The MQRIS Large and Small schemes are now open for applications. The funding rules and the application forms are available from the Research Services Fellowship and Grant Opportunities webpages (Internal Grants section). Because these schemes are being opened much later in the year than normal, the application forms have been amended to reduce the amount of time required to complete the application. The Faculty review process has also been adjusted to this shorter timescale.  For FSE, the Faculty Deadline for both schemes will be Monday the 16th November 2020. No late applications will be accepted this year.  If anyone intends to apply to this internal scheme, please contact Andrew Barron <andrew.barron@mq.edu.au>

For MQRIS (Large): Please email the completed application form to sci.research@mq.edu.au by the Faculty due date (16th November 2020).

For MQRIS (Small): RIS Small MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH PURE by the lead CI, by the Faculty due date (16th November 2020). Please check the funding rules carefully – MQRIS (Small) does not support costs for personnel this year.


Purchasing: OneHelp approval required for anything IT-related

This covers: computers (and notebooks, laptops, phones), cameras, hard drives, software, services (including subscriptions), and all computer peripherals (keyboard, mouse, dock, webcam, headset, etc.).

1x. If unsure, just submit a OneHelp ticket with a description/links/attachments of what you want to buy; FSE IT can give you a quote.
1a. If ordering from a preferred supplier, submit a OneHelp ticket and FSE IT will help you.
1b. If ordering from outside standard options/suppliers (including custom computers or services), then you will need to submit a OneHelp ticket for CIO approval – this is a fast process.

2a. [Admin purchase – hardware] When you receive approval, forward emails with OneHelp approval + any quotes to fse.bio-adm@mq.edu.au, and admin can assist with making the purchase.
2b. [Credit card purchase – some software and services] IF you are able to buy the product (e.g. software licence) on a corporate credit card, then you will need to attach a copy of the OneHelp approval to your card reconciliation.

3. If you are given a purchase order number from admin for a computer/IT hardware, attach this number to the OneHelp ticket; this allows FSE IT to match-up your ticket with the item when it is delivered.


Department intranet

Please note that the intranet has been centralised under FSE, although we still have a department intranet. You will see things that the intranet requires updating; we are in the process of doing that.
 

Plant of the Week – Angophora hispida – Dwarf Apple

When compared to towering local Eucalyptus and Angophora trees, this shrubby, dwarf tree looks pretty average for most of the year, but when in bud, and in full flower, it can be quite spectacular. Dwarf Apple, Angophora hispida, grows on exposed sandstone ridges in the Sydney region and thrives on nutrient poor sandy soils, often in heathland or scrub, sometimes forming dense, almost impenetrable thickets, a potential source of misery for bushwalkers.

Plant of the week – Angophora hispida


OPPORTUNITIES

$15,000 Tech Voucher grants to support SME / University Partnerships

MQ has available ~$120K for tech vouchers to support SME (small to medium enterprise) partnerships. The funds are to be allocated between now and the middle of next year. Each grant is for up to 15K, to be matched by the SME. Information about the scheme can be found at https://www.business.nsw.gov.au/support-for-business/innovation-and-research/techvouchers. Contrary to what the website says, applications related to research to be done in partnership with MQ are being accepted.

This scheme could represent a way for ECRs to catalyse industry connections and hopefully pave the way for a long-term relationship – potentially very useful in a time of tight budgets.

The scheme can:

  • seed a research project in partnership with a BBIP delivery partner
  • support a research project that will lead to an application for an Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme Research Connections or Accelerating Commercialisation, or other similar scheme
  • fund access to research facilities and equipment such as electron microscopes, medical imaging, e-research supercomputers, nanofabrication, marine and climate infrastructure, and other BBIP delivery partner facilities
  • fund product or process design activities, such as engineering or technical design expertise to determine prototype structure, function and/or materials
  • access technical assistance
  • trial production runs or processes to demonstrate technical concepts
  • validate or demonstrate technical capabilities of a product, process or technology
  • fund toxicology studies on materials you have invented, or wish to incorporate into a new product.

This is the final year where MQ will receive a set allocation within this scheme and to date this scheme has been underutilised. In future years this will be a competitive scheme across institutions. This is a very good opportunity to get in now.

If you would like more information or support to progress an application for a TechVoucher, please contact PVC Research Innovation Professor Dan Johnson (dan.johnson@mq.edu.au).

SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS

Research Data Webinar – ARC and NHMRC expectations: Tue 17 Nov

Following are the details of a webinar & workshop hosted by the Australian Research Data Commons about the Management of Data and Information in Research Guide.
In the first session you will hear directly from the ARC and NHMRC about their expectations. This will provide some important context for planned and upcoming changes to Research Data Management at Macquarie University.

Registration links:
Webinar: Management of Data and Information in Research Guide, Tue 17 Nov 11am-12pm
Workshop: Sharing Approaches to Implementing the Data Guide at Universities, Wed 18 Nov, 1-3pm

Co-authored by the Australian Research Council (ARC), the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and Universities Australia (UA), the Management of Data and Information in Research Guide contains guidance for institutions and researchers on how they can implement the Australian Research Code as it relates to the subject of research data.

The ARDC in collaboration with its partners will be hosting a webinar by ARC and NHMRC focussing on funder’s expectations and requirements in relation to data management. It will include a short Q&A session and will be of greatest benefit to research administration staff working in Research Offices within Universities or Medical Research Institutes tasked with implementing research data management policies.

The event will be followed by a workshop aimed at those responsible for implementing the Guide at Universities. This will be an opportunity to facilitate knowledge exchange and network building across institutions to develop solutions to research data management challenges.


MQ R Users Group workshop Thur 26 Nov 9am

We’re excited to share the upcoming MQ R Users Group workshop with you – this month it’s all about analysing acoustic telemetry data using R (please note the 9AM start time).

Workshop title: Standardized analyses of acoustic telemetry data using the R packages actel and RSP

Description: Acoustic telemetry is a popular technique used to study the movements of aquatic animals, and a variety of analytical approaches and R packages currently exist to help researchers extract the most meaningful biological information. However, few approaches are yet capable of accounting for the land barriers in these aquatic environments, which are important constraints to the movements performed. Here we will introduce the new R package RSP (Refined Shortest Paths; https://github.com/YuriNiella/RSP), which recreates the movements of tracked animals exclusively inside the water. Using practical examples, we will show you how to prepare your acoustic data for processing with the R packages actel (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=actel) and RSP, to analyse and visualize habitat utilization patterns and overlaps between different biological groups, both in space and time.

Presenters: Yuri Niella is a PhD student in the Marine Predator Research Group (Macquarie University), interested in how anthropogenic stressors (habitat loss, fishing, climate change) are impacting the spatial and trophic ecology of large bodied coastal sharks. Hugo Flávio is a Post-doctoral fellow at Wilfrid Laurier University, particularly interested in systematic and reproducible data analysis, as well as the conservation and restoration of aquatic environments.

Date: Thursday 26 November 2020; Time: 9 AM – 11 AM

Venue: Zoom meeting – please register for this workshop at https://bit.ly/MQCoders_Zoom. This will ask you to register and then you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. Please note the 9AM start time and ignore the start time in the Zoom confirmation for this workshop.

The resources for this workshop will be available soon from https://github.com/mqRusers.

Please have R and R Studio downloaded on your laptop before the workshop. You can find instructions for the same here: https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/starting.html. If you have any trouble, we’ll be available to help you sort the issues 15 minutes before the workshop begins at the zoom link.

If you have not yet joined our Slack workspace you can do so here https://mqcoders.slack.com/. This follows a stack-exchange format, and anyone can post questions and answers – all questions across all platforms are permitted as long as they’re about data/stats. If you would like some help from the MQ R user group community try posting your problem on our #rhelp Slack channel. We also post on Slack about our upcoming events.

 

Mock Interviews
