| info | Stochastic modeling - Methods, effects and calibration with applications to epidemics and systems biology | Dr. Christoph Zimmer | June 21-22, 2017 9:00-6:00 | ECTS-Points: not yet determined |
| Abstract, registration & information: Computational modeling has become more and more important in the life sciences. One important class of models are compartment models and ordinary differential equations are widely used to describe the time evolution of the model_s components in a deterministic way. This compact course will introduce stochastic compartmental modeling. The objectives of the course are to learn a) methods that allow to simulate stochastic models and b) which effects so called intrinsic stochasticity can have on systems_ dynamics. These effects will make it evident that specific calibration techniques are needed in order to be able to cope with stochastic effects and exploit their information. The course will c) give a flavor of how calibration can be performed. Time will also be devoted to let the participants learn d) when stochastic modeling is necessary and beneficial. This course will consist of lectures as well as practical exercises. Therefore, participants are encouraged to bring laptops (please contact me in case laptop sharing is desired). There is no prior software or programming experience necessary. Please register here | Location: Wednesday June 21st: 9am - 6pm, Mathematikon, SR 12 Thursday June 22nd: 10am - 6pm, BioQuant, SR 043 |

| info | Virtual Screening of Drug Discovery | Prof. Markus A. Lill | June 26-29, 2017 | ECTS-Points: 1 |
| Abstract, registration & information: Virtual Screening has become an essential element of the drug discovery process. Virtual screening is used to search a large library of small molecules for binding to a target protein and select a small subset of compounds for subsequent experimental validation and optimization. In this block course we will discuss the methodological basis and practical applications of structure-based and ligand-based virtual screening methods such as docking, shape-based, pharmacophore and fingerprint concepts. The course alternates lectures and practical sections in the computer lab Please register here Abstract (PDF) | Location: INF 205, SR 12 |

| info | Kognitives Stressmanagement | Dipl.-Psych. Walter Ph. Krämer | April 12, 2017 15:30-17:00 | ECTS-Points: 0 |
| Abstract, registration & information: Die Bedeutung der mentalen Leistungsfähigkeit nimmt im Wandel der kognitiven Anforderungen einer modernen Arbeitswelt stetig zu. Der Zusammenhang von psychomentaler Überlastung und kognitiven Einschränkungen wird häufig unterschätzt, besonders bei Menschen mit hohem Leistungspotenzial bzw. im Rahmen anspruchsvoller beruflicher Tätigkeiten. Als Weiterführung der Veranstaltung im Oktober 2016 wird im aktuellen Vortrag insbesondere das kognitive Stressmanagement im Vordergrund stehen. Einführend soll ein Modell des Nobelpreisträgers Daniel Kahnemann Aufschluss geben, von welchen inneren Faktoren unser Denken und unsere Bewertungsstrategien abhängig sind und in welcher Weise unsere Emotionen unser Denken beeinflussen. Ein Abriss über kognitive Verzerrungen wird veranschaulichen, wie unsere Bewertungen und Schlussfolgerungen im Alltag beeinflusst bzw. verzerrt werden. Als Impuls für einen besseren Umgang mit unserem Denken werden unterschiedliche kognitive Strategien anhand praktischer Beispiele vorgestellt und diskutiert. Abschließend werden wir der Frage nachgehen, warum Menschen manchmal völlig fern jeder Vernunft handeln, obwohl sie es „eigentlich-besser-wissen- müssten“. Es werden keine Vorkenntnisse vorausgesetzt. Bitte hier anmelden | Location: Im Neuenheimer Feld 205, SR 11 |

| info | Basic Principles of Teaching at University Level | Dr. Sita Schanne | July 24 & 25, 2017, 9:00-16:30 | ECTS-Points: 2 |
| Abstract, registration & information: Teaching undergraduate students is an effective way to enhance your own knowledge about your research field. Additionally, you develop communication skills relevant for a career within or outside academia. This two-day course covers the basics of professional University teaching. You will improve your methodological knowledge about the teaching–learning interaction and how that setting can be influenced effectively. The aim is to reach a level of learner-centered teaching that leads to a deep-level learning approach on the side of the students. Hence, interaction with and motivation of the students is in the focus of this course. - Basic principles of teaching and learning - Understanding your role as a teacher - Didactical planning of a course or lesson - Defining learning objectives – designing learning activities - Co-operative learning The course work comprises of short inputs, discussion, group work and individual reflection of personal experiences. Participants are asked to be actively involved in the course by working on their own teaching tasks.

| info | Steuer- und Finanztipps für Doktoranden – Studienkosten zurückholen und sinnvoll investieren | Romina Schneider | September 26, 2017 16:00 - 20:00 | ECTS-Points: 1 |
| Abstract, registration & information: „Heimfahrten, Laptop, Fachliteratur & Semesterbeiträge“; kurzum an nahezu allen Kosten, die euch vom Beginn des Masters bis zum Ende der Promotion begleiten, könnt ihr das Finanzamt beteiligen – sogar ru?ckwirkend fu?r die letzten Jahre. Der Effekt: Eine bis zu 5-stellige Steuerru?ckerstattung fließt nach dem Berufseinstieg auf euer Konto. Gleichzeitig gibt es wirtschaftliche Themen, die ihr in der Promotion bewegen solltet, um fru?hzeitig und langfristig von wiederkehrenden Erstattungen zu profitieren. Dies wird ebenfalls aufgezeigt und besprochen. Inhalt Nach dem Training werden die Teilnehmer: - die Vorgehensweise kennen, wie sie ihre Studienkosten ru?ckerstattet bekommen. - fu?r sich wichtige Finanzthemen erkennen und einen der größten Steuerhebel nutzen können. -wissen, wie sie einen Verlustvortrag generieren & Werbungskosten und Sonderausgaben steueroptimiert einordnen können. | Location: Mathematikon, Im Neuenheimer Feld 205, SR 12 |

| info | Designing Research Posters | Dr. Sita Schanne | Sept. 27 & Oct. 11, 2017, 9:15-12:30 | ECTS-Points: 2 |
| Abstract, registration & information: Research Posters have to meet several requirements: raising attention for your research project through an attractive design, summarizing the relevant information concisely and self-explaining, and generating a discussion about your work. In the workshop you will learn about basic design aspects of research posters and receive feedback on your own draft. The course content will be as following: - Part 1: „Design“– reducing complex content; layout principles; use of visual elements; technical tips; working on a first draft - In-between: creating your own poster - Part 2: short presentations; feedback on drafts/posters You may bring along posters in English or German. Please note that software related questions (e.g. MS Powerpoint, InDesign, …) are not addressed in the course.

| Abstract, registration & information: The course teaches modern C++ programming skills from a Scientific Computing perspective. Special emphasis is given to modernizations and innovations from recent standards (C++11, C++14, C++17), topics that are often skipped in introductory courses due to high complexity and time constraints. Topics that are discussed in detail include best practices in Scientific Computing, class concepts, dynamic memory allocation, exception handling, safe handling of resources, template programming, static vs. dynamic polymorphism, traits and policies, the Standard Template Library, and template metaprogramming.
