Networking event - Doc´s Breakfast

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.

Where: Rudolf-Schoenheimer Institute of Biochemistry, Seminar room D301/302

When: 30.03.2023, 9.00 a.m.

    • 2. Get the basics of science communication on social media
IRTG skilling course: Concept and design of graphical abstracts

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

  • Conceptual Considerations

  • Structure and Content |

  • Basics of Design and Visualisation

  • Layout Techniques

  • Practice Session Graphical Abstract

Date: 18, 21 September

Format: Online workshop

Content:

  • Short recap of Introductory course – from significance testing to ANOVA

  • ANOVA scenarios for more complex situations

  • Minimizing experimental runs by applying design of experiments – from ANOVA to DoE

  • DoE applications – Full factorial, fractional factorial and Plackett-Burman Designs
