All members of the Integrated Research Training Group "Obesity Mechanisms" are very welcome to join the Networking Event "Doc´s Breakfast". This year, everything revolved around the 2023 curriculum of the research training group. The doctoral meeting aims to stimulate professional exchange on obesity science. Furthermore, the young researcher should look after new cooperation partners for their Lab rotations in the CRC. Each participant will bring and share their favourite food to the event.

- 2. Get the basics of science communication on social media

Journals are increasingly requesting the submission of a "graphical" or "visual abstract" alongside the body of the article. This concise, pictorial and visual summary of the article's main findings. It could either be the concluding figure from the paper or, better still, a figure specially designed for the purpose, which captures the article's content for readers at a glance.
Date: 22 June 2023 |
Time: 9 am – 4 pm
Venue: Seminar room, Rudolf Schoenheimer Institute of Biochemistry
