Does HPV vaccination affect women's attitudes to cervical cancer screening and safe sex behaviour?
Presented by Tanya Mather, Research Assistant
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has the potential to greatly reduce the incidence of cervical cancer by protecting against HPV infections responsible for 70% of cervical cancer diagnoses. However, preliminary research has indicated that women vaccinated against HPV may be less likely to undergo cervical cancer screening and engage in safe sexual behaviour.

Social media - how on earth do I do it?
Presented by Simon Copland, Science Communications Officer.
Social media is taking over the Internet. With the introduction of Web 3.0 and the increasing presence of Facebook, Twitter and blogging, it is now impossible to effectively communicate on the Internet without using social media. In this seminar Simon Copland will provide a 1.01 on how to get involved in social media – from setting up a Twitter account to starting a blog. He will show
how easy and engaging it is to get involved in social media and discuss the real benefits there are from getting active online.

Mainstreaming mental health in occupational health and safety: An exploration of benchmark dose modelling to regulate job demands and job control.
Presented by Su Mon Kyaw-Myint, PhD candidate.
Psychosocial hazards at work (e.g. low job control) are associated with increased risk of common mental disorders. To date, there are no critical exposure levels for psychosocial hazards. Yet, they are a fundamental component in regulation of occupational hazards and are essential in guiding risk assessment. This research sought to adapt the benchmark dose method, a method for identification of critical exposure levels, for selected psychosocial hazards and mental health.
