The Snake Whisperer is back!

Arts & Culture

Ever had a close encounter with a snake? Maybe there was a snake in your bedroom, or a python got cosy next to your heater? Chances are if you've had a close encounter with a snake you probably didn't think it was funny. But I bet almost everyone you told did!

Adrian Walker is a professional Snake Whisperer. When a snake gets comfy in someones house, it is his job to get it out. And when you go about collecting snakes for years, inevitably you will come across some pretty funny stories.

Adrian will be sharing those stories and signing copies of his new book Diary of a Snake Whisperer at Angus and Robertson Earlville, Shop 53 Stockland Shopping Centre Cairns, on Saturday the Thursday the 1st of July from 4pm to 7pm.

So drop bye and share a yarn from the scaley side of life!

The 2009 Cairns Dengue Epidemic: Our Perfect Storm

Community

A perfect storm of conditions – hot, wet weather to maximise mosquito populations, a typhoid Mary imported case that allowed the outbreak to grow unnoticed, and an unusually quick strain of dengue that spread with lightning speed – came together in late 2008 to create the largest epidemic of dengue Australia has seen since the 1950s.

North Queensland has a long history of dengue outbreaks. The first clinical description of dengue haemorrhagic fever was made during a dengue outbreak in Charters Towers in 1897. Not to be outshone by influenza, dengue has been quietly going about with its own pandemic since the 1990s, with cases escalating from about 100,000 cases in the 1970s to well over a million in the current decade. Last year’s epidemic of dengue-3 virus in the Cairns region was the worst in recent history, and highlights the worrying capacity of dengue viruses to evolve to new, more virulent strains.

In his lecture, Professor Ritchie will describe this event and discuss ways that researchers at James Cook University are working to eliminate the risk of dengue outbreaks altogether.

STATPHYS 24, the XXIV International Conference on Statistical Physics of the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)

Business

The STATPHYS Conference series takes place every three years in a different continent to enhance the international relevance and visibility of the leading world event in the broad field of Statistical Physics and all its interdisciplinary developments.

Recent meetings have been held in GENOVA (Italy), BANGALORE (India), CANCUN (Mexico) and PARIS (France). STATPHYS 24 will be the first time this event is held in Australia and only the second time in the southern hemisphere. The entire Australian scientific community enthusiastically supports this meeting and warmly welcomes all international participants.

According to tradition, the highest international recognition in the field of Statistical Physics, the Boltzmann Medal, will be awarded at this meeting. In addition several satellite meetings will be held along with the main event, adding to the scientific value of the meeting.

The organisers have provided assurance that STATPHYS 24 will be conducted in accordance with IUPAP principles as stated in the ICSU-Document "Universality of Science" (sixth edition, 1989) regarding the free circulation of scientists for international purposes. In particular, no bona fide scientist will be excluded from participation on the grounds of national origin, nationality, or political consideration unrelated to science.
