Invited Seminars and Workshops
TS Group Meetings
All students and researchers are welcome at our meetings, regardless of your age, background, and research group! Just contact Oliver.
The Group meets on Tuesday mornings (0915-1100).
One person presents their current research in depth, and there are four short flash talks on recent literature.
Our Chemistry Denksports are on Thursday lunchtimes. Join us for total synthesis and chem bio / med chem over takeaway.
Our annual TS Group Research Retreat Week rounds out our continuing education calendar by offering uninterrupted time in peaceful settings, to learn and apply methods for effective project planning, paper and thesis writing, presentations, and cover other important topics (numerical modelling and plausibility checking, design of controls, diversity, bias, and gender equality in science education and research).
Seminars Around us: GDCh Chem (TUDD); MPI Cell Bio (CBG); Systems Bio (CMCB); IPF, PoL.
