The main aim of this course is to teach how to approach data analysis problems with classical statistics. We focus on the intuition behind statistical methodologies rather than on "how to run a t-test with R" (which we will also learn, by the way). Topics: - Sampling theory: obtaining information about a population via […]
Description Do you need to present your science and think it is a good idea to jump headlong to your results and not lose valuable time? If you present your work to your supervisor, this might be fine, but any other audience is unlikely to be enthusiastic. You’ll learn how to captivate an audience with […]
Description Have you enjoyed research and teaching in the past years, but now you think it is time to change? Or you are just fed up, but are aware that frustration alone will not lead to a smooth transition out of academia. Maybe you are not sure yet whether to stay in academia or not, […]
Detailed workinar content overview: Basic ImageJ macro recording of a general image analysis pipeline Basics about variables and macro command and how to use them Looping over image files, table data, ROIs Interaction between user and macro Automatic customized measurements Creating and interacting with customized tables Automatically creating folders and flexibly saving all data as […]
Most of us who complete a PhD in a science discipline will end up working outside of academia. Are you wondering what working in the private sector is really like? How do you find these jobs? Do you feel confident that you can impress an industry hiring manager when you describe the very specialized research […]
Description In many companies, quality management knowledge is expected of graduates from the life sciences, but is rarely taught at universities.

Do you always drink your coffee alone at conferences or only with colleagues from your own institute? Do you seem to turn your back on all networking opportunities? Or do you have the the feeling that you can't keep a conversation going or even in the first place? If you answered "yes" to any of […]
Detailed workinar content overview: Short Introduction to Fiji / ImageJ and basic functions Overview over proper scientific image file formats, metadata, bit depth In-depth practical introduction to pre-processing Automatic uneven lighting correction Understanding of image filters and their use cases for improved object detection Automatic background subtraction algorithms to reduce unspecific signal Object segmentation with […]
Description This workshop is about scientific poster presentations, their design, and how to present (pitch) them well. An effective poster presentation requires a cleverly designed poster, appropriate use of language and special techniques in presenting. This course will give you the skills you need to create professional, attractive and high-impact posters and allow you to […]
