Regular's table this semester

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.
