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.

Welcome to Summer School Information 

We invite all doctoral researchers of the Integrated Research Training Group IRTG "Obesity Mechanisms" of the CRC 1052 to attend the IRTG-Summer School in the Hotel Schloss Schweinsburg. The Summer School has a particular focus on young scientists. This year numerous slots of oral and poster presentations and different skilling courses will be provided.

Preliminary schedule:

• Poster session, Data blitz session
• 2 Workshops:
  • 1. Proposal writing: How to create promising grant applications
  • 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: 19 October 2023 | 

Time: 9 am – 4 pm

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

• Conceptual Considerations

• Structure and Content |

• Basics of Design and Visualisation

• Layout Techniques

• Practice Session Graphical Abstract

We want to provide a two-days workshop combining a course in "Advanced Statistics and Statistical thinking"

Date: 18, 21 September

Format: Online workshop

Workshop lecturer: Dr. Peter Paul Heym

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

• Optimizing designs (Response-surface- & Mixture-designs)

• Linear mixed effects models – advantages over ANOVA & applications

• Introduction in Bayes-Statistics and Bayes-analysis

We want to invite you to the following career event:

The career cafe is a career perspective that explores future career options in academia and beyond. We invite professionals with academic backgrounds who work in exciting positions. Our guests present their personal career paths, and doctoral researchers have the opportunity for an in-depth discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.

In October 2023, we invite the CRC 1052 alumna Elisabeth Jäger. Since 2020, she has been a postdoctoral scientist at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She pursued her PhD on " Mechanism of the Ca²⁺-induced, GPCR-mediated inflammasome activation in human monocytes" in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, between 2014 and 2020. Elisabeth Jäger will speak about her doctoral working time and try to advise by drawing from her experience and describing her career path.
