The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) 13th HOPE meeting is being held from 7 to 11 March 2022.
Since 2008, JSPS has hosted a HOPE Meeting in Japan with Nobel Laureates and around 100 outstanding graduate students and young researchers, specially selected from countries around the Asia–Pacific region. The participants engage in interdisciplinary discussions with Nobel Laureates and other distinguished scientists pioneering the frontiers of knowledge.
The 13th HOPE meeting will be held online and will include 26 hours of events over the five days. The Australian participants for the 13th HOPE meeting are Dr Sharman Tan Tanny from the University of Melbourne, Dr Harini Hapuarachchi from RMIT University and Mr Joe Kaczmarski from the Australian National University.
The latest edition of Historical Records of Australian Science is full of fascinating content with historical articles, biographical memoirs, a historical document and associated expert commentary, the annual bibliography of Australian science, and a collection of reviews compiled by new book review editor, Dr Martin Bush.

Can I get COVID-19 if I am fully vaccinated?
You’re vaccinated, now what? As COVID-19 vaccination rates increase in Australia and across the globe, let’s look at the ways that these vaccines work in the real world.

Whooping cough vaccine (tick). Flu shot (tick). Now add COVID-19 vaccine to the list. Just as it’s recommended that pregnant women get up-to-date on other vaccines to protect themselves and their families, COVID-19 vaccines are vital.
Concerned about fertility and erectile dysfunction? Get vaccinated.
During COVID-19, fertility and reproductive health have come to the forefront for some who have questions around vaccine safety.
