SIGSYNCELL is a MSCA DN aiming to develop synthetic cells with the key characteristic function of living systems: the capacity to interact with its environment
For our workshop tales, it's shooting time at our WS3. Jonathan Schmidt from the @uniheidelberg.bsky.social gave our DCs a really fun hand-on training on the basics of video-making, shooting and editing.
Thanks Jonathan for the workshop, and thanks our DC Julia for volunteering as model!
Good science communication is a skill of fundamental importance in our times of fast-paced innovation, for the community to understand and not fear change.
Thanks to @nawik.de, that provided our DCs with their basic course of science communication and their trainer Lisa Ringena

At our WS3, Pil Byriel from Develop Diverse gave us a training on #DEI in the workplace.
Pil raised awareness on our biases as biased beings, showed us the main biases and teached how to indentify and address uncomfortable situations in the workplace.
Thank you Pil!
