Content

The workshop Advanced Scientific Writing helps experienced writers of science at the PostDoc level and above overcome their limitations and take their writing to the next level. The goal is not only to improve the quality of produced texts, but also to make the writing process more efficient and even enjoyable. To enable maximum possible transfer of learned skills, the trainer employs interactive and collaborative methods including writing sessions, reflections, peer feedback, practical exercises, discussions with the group and in pairs, and Q&A rounds.

The trainer

Dr. Martina Michalikova has a background in biology and computational neuroscience. She is a certified writing consultant specialized in scientific writing in English as a second language. Since 2017 she is leading workshops, retreats and writing groups in Germany, other European countries, and online. https://writingscientist.com/

Target group

Scientists of all levels.
Please bring to the course: your own recent research result in form of a figure, table or equation.
Alternatively a figure from a published, recently read paper and also one page of their own text for feedback that has not been heavily edited by others.

Details and registration

June 11th+18th+25th from 9am-12am, online

Outside of academic research, suitability predictions about candidates are only made to a small extent on the basis of previous professional training and qualifications. Personality traits and the ability to interact with others play an important role.
The aim of this workshop is to make participants aware of what is expected of them and why they need to prepare for it. They will be given an overview of different career options in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Fields of activity and job profiles will be presented in more detail based on their requirements for the personality of the job holder. In the second part, participants are supported in examining their own personality profile and motives in order to decide which activities suit them best.

To discuss your very own career path, an individual coaching can be booked as a follow up to the workshop. (Cost will be covered by your research network.)

The trainer

Gaby Schilling holds a PhD in chemistry and a BSc. in psychology. She worked for over 17 years in various management positions at a DAX 30 company in Germany and the USA, leading teams of experts and managers and gaining extensive experience in all phases of working with employees - from recruitment to development, promotion and promotion to change. Ms. Schilling has supplemented her practical experience with training as a business, career and team coach, trainer and e-tutor.

Everyday life as a scientist is challenging. At the same time racialized scientists encounter additional barriers – both within and without their particular discipline. Whether it be research topics or gaps, or encounters with colleagues in a hierarchical setting. Are you looking for a panacea? So are we. But while the fight for systemic change continues, let us, for now, focus on our more immediate context: By coming together and showing up for each other we’ll gather our strengths and share our strategies for dealing with racism in everyday life and in the workplace. Sounds interesting? Come and join us!

The trainers:

Joanna Mechnich works on the topics of racism critique, intersectionality, empowerment and Afrofuturism. In this work, Joanna accompanies people in dealing with and dealing with their own entanglement in social power structures. For Joanna, empowerment is an inseparable part of this work. Afrofuturism is a passion and perspective for Joanna. https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-mechnich-158531101/

In her work, Viviann Moana Wilmot tackles racism in its historic origins and contemporary forms. Within the realms of the humanities and civic education, she advocates for decolonial justice, empowerment and a critical diversity-practice in Germany.
