Upcoming:
Scientific Writing Workshop
March 5-6, 2025
ETP 0.01, UoC
We have successfully invited 2 teachers from London who are specialized in scientific writing workshops for PhD-students in astrophysics.
Marc Buchanan and Justin Mullins from “writeaboutscience” will come to Cologne to give a workshop at the Physics Institutes of the UoC. The Scientific Paper Seminar is a writing workshop for early-career scientists. It teaches the skills required for producing research papers of the highest quality for the world’s top journals. The workshop is designed to give students the confidence to begin publishing in the increasingly competitive world of science.
The course covers how top journals handle submissions and offers tips for dealing with editors at these publications. Participants should leave the workshop with a reasonably detailed outline of a scientific paper suitable for a journal of their choice.
Please prepare the following exercise beforehand:
“Using a piece of research with which you are familiar, write a one-paragraph abstract of no more than 300 words describing the work for a broad audience of scientists. Provide a title for the paper or thesis you describe.”
–> send the abstract to the teacher () by 10 February.
–> print out one copy of the abstract and bring it to the seminar.
Regular:
lunch meeting with the CRC 1601 colloquium speakers
The lunch meeting will be at 12pm before every colloquium and will include a light lunch with the guest.

As part of the SFB 1601 Student Council activities, we are glad to announce ‘SFB Student Seminars – Winter 2024’. This is planned for PhD students to practice presentation skills in a friendly environment. As it is also mandatory for all SFB students to give one talk annually, we hope this event will be fruitful for all students.
Christmas market visit on December 20, 2023 (Heumarkt Christmas market).
