Otto Warburg International Summer School and Research Symposium on Epigenetics and Regulation

Otto Warburg Summer School
The summer school will include tutorial style lectures and research talks by invited speakers as well as contributed talks from selected participants. It provides ample opportunity for interaction between lecturers and PhD students in a relaxed and friendly environment, and foster an atmosphere of scientific discussion across disciplines (including molecular biology, bioinformatics, biological physics, mathematics) between PhD students, Postdocs and speakers.

Elly Tanaka: Cell position and identity during successful and unsuccessful limb regeneration

Dahlem Colloquium
This interactive, practice-oriented workshop provides all the relevant know-how needed to successfully navigate the peer-review process both as a submitting author and a reviewer. [more]
This nanocourse will take place on 28 February, 7 March and 14 March, starting at 9 am. During the first session, you will get an introduction to the philosophy of science and ethics. The second session will focus on the beginning of human life. There will be an introduction to reproductive and therapeutic cloning followed a discussion. The third session will deal with genetic diagnostics, i.e. the use of modern techniques before implantation in artificial insemination as well as diagnostics on the embryo and the born human being, followed by a discussion.

Nanocourse: How the brain is built, how it can break, and how to see inside it

Nanocourses consist of lectures followed by the opportunity to gain hands-on experience. The brain is the foundation for our most advanced mental functions. It is among the most complex and dynamic biological systems. How the brain is built during development is a major open question at the forefront of current scientific research. A better understanding of brain development, how its circuits are wired and synapses are connected, will create a “blueprint” for understanding its normal function, and abnormalities in disorders like autism and schizophrenia. This course will contain a series of discussions on the current big picture questions and key details of brain development, structure, function, and associated disorders. Students will critically analyze foundational experiments and recent literature, with creative exercises in designing future experiments to tackle outstanding questions in the field. The course will also contain hands-on training in high resolution brain imaging and image analysis at multiple scales. [more]

Transferable Skills Course: Benefit from Science Communication as a Scientist (Talk)

Science Communication
  • Date: Apr 19, 2022
  • Time: 02:00 PM c.t. - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Dr. André Lampe
  • Dr. André Lampe is a physicist, biochemist, presenter, and science communicator. He loves everything about microscopes, is on fire for science communication, loves the stage, cameras, and talking into podcast microphones. André presents live experiments and microscopy on stage, gives workshops and is a consultant for event design, science communication, and change management.
  • Location: MPI-MG
  • Room: Seminar room 1
  • Host: Anne-Dominique Gindrat
  • Contact: imprs-bac@molgen.mpg.de
André Lampe will show you the hows and whys of institutional science communication – but more importantly, how individual scientists can benefit and participate from engaging with the public. He will highlight opportunities for science communication in the academic routine with some surprising side effects. Some examples: train for your next conference talk at unusual locations, boost the impact of a paper, and influence your field significantly just by teaching students. The talk is intended to kick off a discussion about the topic, so there will be plenty of time for Q&A. [more]

Transferable Skills Course: Science Communication Workshop for Scientists (Workshop)

Science Communication
  • Date: May 9, 2022
  • Time: 10:00 AM c.t. - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Dr. André Lampe
  • Dr. André Lampe is a physicist, biochemist, presenter, and science communicator. He loves everything about microscopes, is on fire for science communication, loves the stage, cameras, and talking into podcast microphones. André presents live experiments and microscopy on stage, gives as workshops and is a consultant for event design, science communication, and change management.
  • Location: MPI-MG
  • Room: Seminar room 1
  • Host: Anne-Dominique Gindrat
  • Contact: imprs-bac@molgen.mpg.de
André Lampe will help you communicating your science: This hands-on workshop has been built around discussions and feedback from a talk at MPIMG several weeks ago and includes results from questionnaires and individual discussions with participants. The topic is not set yet and depends on the input of the participants and could be anything from Social Media to podcasting to scientific stand-up comedy in a pub. [more]
