Inflammation Research Erlangen’s Post

🎓 Are you a student or PhD candidate of the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg or part of the EELISA European University program at the FAU and interested in new research approaches to science and technology? ▶ Then, please feel free to participate in our upcoming seminars at the Chair of Science, Technology and Gender Studies - Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen Nürnberg. We cordially invite students and researchers from all disciplines of the social sciences, engineering and natural sciences, as we focus in particular on the interdisciplinary setting to our teaching. We are continuing our courses on innovative and interdisciplinary reflections on science and technology this semester with two new thematic subjects: 🌍 In “Geographies of Science” we will explore different locations and spaces where science has been carried out, and also study how geographies have affected scientific results and practices. The seminar will furnish an overview of the history of science with an emphasis on geographies and spatiality, which also holds significance for other disciplines, such as physics, medicine, geography, sociology, and history. 💻 More information and registration (FAU ID required) here: https://lnkd.in/eK85gSR7 🔬 In the block seminar ”The History of Nuclear Medicine”, we focus on the interconnected aspects of medicine, science and technology. This course adopts an innovative examination form whereby students compose 'biographies' of various nuclear medicine artifacts, linking them to the broader historical context of the discipline throughout the 20th century. Creative formats, individual research commitment and scientific rigor do not have to be considered contradictory. 💻 More information and registration (FAU ID required) here: https://lnkd.in/eWxD67HN ⁉ If you need any clarification, please don’t hesitate to send us a message to ralf.mitschke@fau.de. #FAU #Wintersemester #Wissenschaft #Forschung #Soziologie #Physik #Physics #STEM #MINT #Gender #History #Geschichte #EELISA

🎆 Happy birthday Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF 🎆 Celebrating with dedicated featured articles in Framtidens Forskning Similar to personal independence, academic independence is contingent on the availability of means of support that allow you to leave the nest and follow your ambitions. With the research grants bestowed for my Ph.D within the SwedNess Research School first and for my postdoc in view of future European Spallation Source ERIC utilization after, SSF has laid the foundation for my entire career as a large-scale facility expert, allowing me to explore a variety of research topics, create new opportunities for the use of neutron-based experimental methods, and build bridges across disciplines. Thanks to SSF I could embark on an exciting new chapter, shifting from solid state condensed matter physics to soft condensed matter for climate change mitigation applications. Characterizing this type of materials presents challenges due to their complex, hierarchical structures, dynamic behavior, and lack of long-range order compared to crystalline solids. Investigation techniques must be capable of resolving multiple length scales, capturing temporal changes, and probing disordered structures effectively. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-disciplinary approach integrating advanced imaging, spectroscopy, scattering methods, and computational modeling, all of which is part of the project I am carrying out between the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry (MMK) at Stockholm University and the PSI Paul Scherrer Institut. What the future holds is not for me to know, but I certainly embrace and enjoy the remarkable journey I am on today. #ResearchGrant #SoftMatter #NeutronScience #ESS #AcademicJourney #Nanocellulose

@Foivos Perakis was appointed as an assistant professor in 2019 and a Wallenberg Fellow in 2023. "This is an amazing opportunity and I am delighted to be selected for this honor. As part of the Wallenberg Academy Fellowship program, one gets significant funding for 5 years, with possibility for extension, in order to tackle challenging and exciting basic research questions. My project is related to following the formation of biomolecular condensates which are believed to have contributed to the mechanism behind the origins of life. Understanding these condensates can also help us understand better the fundamental rules in living cells and design better drugs against diseases like Alzheimer and Parkinson." https://lnkd.in/dD6jQvQ4

Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less - Marie Curie ⚛️ Marie Curie was a pioneering physicist and chemist who conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity. Born in Warsaw, Poland, on November 7, 1867, and moved to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. Alongside her husband, Pierre Curie, she discovered the elements polonium and radium. They coined the term “radioactivity” to describe the phenomena they were studying. ⚛️ Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields. She won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 (shared with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel) and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her work on radium and polonium. Her work laid the foundation for modern physics and medicine. ⚛️ Marie Curie’s research led to the development of X-ray machines and advanced the treatment of cancer through radiotherapy. During World War I, she developed mobile radiography units to assist in medical care for wounded soldiers. Her dedication to science and her numerous contributions have left a lasting impact on the fields of physics, chemistry, and medicine. Marie Curie passed away on July 4, 1934, from aplastic anemia, a condition believed to be caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of radiation during her research. ⚛️ Curie is the only woman in history to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences, and she accomplished this during a time when women’s contributions were often overlooked or undervalued – Brian Greene ⚛️ Artwork from Google ⚛️ #newseries #thejarofthoughts #mariecurie #dedication #passion #science #physics #chemistry #medicine #radioactive #marishasblog

Great news from Kaiserslautern! 📣 Together with Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), we have brought the first Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg) to Kaiserslautern to support young scientists in their doctoral studies in topics that combine mathematics and engineering – »MIMO – Mathematics of Interdisciplinary Multiobjective Optimization«. And best of all: thanks to generous funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG), we are able to offer 20 new doctoral positions! 🥳 The topics offered to doctoral students are diverse and exciting at the same time: from the systematic planning of transport processes 🚚 to the optimization of radiotherapy for cancer ⚕️. But other topics from areas such as process engineering, thermodynamics and the construction of high-performance chips are also covered. You may be wondering what the advantages of a Research Training Group are. A central component is the supervision and support provided by training camps. But the opportunity to conduct research at RPTU's »Felix Klein Center for Mathematics« and to network with each other is also an advantage! 💬 🌐 If you want to find out more now, take a look at our new press release: https://lnkd.in/e9bec99m

🌟 Excited to share my presentation from the Three Minute Thesis competition! In the world of research, we often find ourselves immersed in technical jargon and highly specialized niches. This can lead to a disconnect not only between scientists and the broader public but also within different scientific disciplines. Effective communication is essential, particularly in fields like translational neuroscience, where bridging the gap between research and real-world applications can have a significant impact. One fantastic way to hone these communication skills as a young scientist is by participating in events like the Three Minute Thesis (3MT). The challenge? ⏳ To explain your entire doctoral dissertation in just three minutes, using a single static slide, and making it accessible to a general audience. Last year, I had the honor of participating in the 3MT competition at The University of Göttingen, where I was thrilled to be named the runner-up and the recipient of the People's Choice award. If you're curious about the research at the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience and want to understand it at a broad level, please check out my presentation video below. https://lnkd.in/e29mxK9R #ScienceCommunication #TranslationalNeuroscience #3MT #3MinuteThesis #PhD #Research #PublicEngagement #CochlearImplants #HearingRestoration #Optogenetics
