Regular's Table
A lecture about stars you can see or maybe not and computers and physics. Maybe there will be memes, too. This talk will be held in german.
We let the evening end comfortably with music bingo and powerpoint karaoke. This time without a lecture.
I will give an insight into the future of DB (also in relation to Bonn), compare DB with railway companies from other countries and also vent a little about the DB. I'll also show you what my code has produced so far and why it's more realistic than you might think.
A lecture about the earth at the time of the dinosaurs, different dinosaur groups and the connection between dinosaurs and birds. What stories are hidden behind the fossils?
An exciting presentation about the funniest and most over-the-top events in the history of the military.
An interesting lecture about (successful) landings of passenger airplanes with total engine failure.
Another lecture about the time of dinosaurs. What other stories are also hidden behind the fossils?
In this lecture you will get an interactive insight into the Vietnamese language and have fun “experiencing” Vietnamese yourself. Come along, it will be exciting, fun and great!
Henry the locomotive gives another 2-hour talk about DB (Deutsche Bahn) and why he is better than them.
What happens on a journey to the stars? What do gorillas have to do with supercomputers? And how can you combine relocations and length contraction? In their presentations, Henry, Justin and Vasco answer the questions that concern us all.
We end the day in a relaxed atmosphere with a few rounds of PowerPoint karaoke. This time without a planned presentation.
An entertaining talk about curious facts and circumstances as well as humorous judgments in German case law.
New semester, old nonsense. Like every summer, our new first-year students are let loose on the beginners' internship to commit new, previously unknown crimes against science. Together, we look back at the nonsense we have collectively produced and take a little stroll through statistics, philosophy of science and physics.
Two phd students from the women* in physics group are going to give an interactive talk on some of the topics related to gender and physics that we have discussed in our group. In particular we will give journal-club style review talks on the two papers “How well-intentioned white male physicists maintain ignorance of inequity and justify inaction" and “Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs. After each part we provide space for discussions prompted by questions that make the participants reflect on their own experiences.
In Uncommon Thinking, everyone plays together. I ask funny, crazy, absurd questions and together you guess the answers. There are at least a dozen brand new questions waiting for you. Ask the last two first-year students, they've already played it with me. It's going to be good!
In physics we deal with units every day and although the phrase "3 what? Apples? Pears?" is annoying, a result in physics is worthless without units. This lecture is about the basics of unit systems and introduces four systems used in physics.
Have you always wondered what it's like to have period cramps and what happens when it's no longer normal? Then come by to learn more about endometriosis and maybe even experience period cramps for yourself.
Somewhere between astronomy and esoteric, we find astrology: but what really lies behind the idea that the stars determine our future? Following the signs of the zodiac, we will answer these and other questions with humor: How do the zodiac signs tick? What exactly is an ascendant? How can I find true love with the help of the stars? And, of course: what is actually true about astrology?
“Help, Mom, I spent 2 euros on the computer and now I can buy 3 houses?!” A talk about the absurdity of the world of Counterstrike skins and the market for trading them, with a legal classification.
