++++++++++SUMMER TERM 2022: THE CLASS WILL BE IN PRESENCE++++++++++++++++++

We will cover the following topics:

Day 1 (9.5.2022): The challenge of global warming for plants and algae (Felix Willmund)

Day 2 (10.5.2022): Carbohydrate Homeostasis (Ekkehard Neuhaus)

Day 3 (11.5.2022): Concepts of Homeostasis (Timo Mühlhaus)

Day 4 (12.5.2022): Protein Homeostasis (Michael Schroda)

Day 5 (13.5.2022): Transcript regulation (Felix Willmund)

Day 6 (16.5.2022): Energy balance during acclimation (Torsten Möhlmann)

Day 7 (17.5.2022): Cell Biology and acclimation (David Scheuring)

Day 8 (18.5.2022): Scientific writing, in preparation for the essays (Felix Willmund, morning only), essay composition

Day 9 (19.5.2022): Essays about plant acclimation on selected topics which will be provided in the first week.

Day 10 (20.5.2022): Essays about plant acclimation on selected topics which will be provided in the first week.

We will also provide recorded lectures from the previous years, so you can watch the topic again (link will be provided later).

For each day we will have a lecture at 9 am and an appointment in the afternoon (the time will be given by the respective professor). It is important that you use the time in-between to read the article which is provided for each topic so we have a lively discussion in the afternoon.

Participation at the meetings is mendatory.

On days 8-10 you will have time to compose an essay, based on topics which we will distribute. By this you will learn how to write scientific texts and how to do research of literature.

Please contact me for any questions via Email.

Theoretical Module 5 of Master Biology.

Winter semester 2021/22

*****************************************************************************************

CORONA UPDATE!!!

Note, we are currently planing to change the format to an online "live" lecture via Zoom. There were too many students concerned with the increasing number of infections.

The next lecture by Dr. Markus Räschle will be still in the lecture hall.

The remaining lectures until Christmas will most likely changed to an online lecture. All information will be provided soon (here and via OpenOlat).

*****************************************************************************************

This winter term the lectures will be given in person again. The lectures will be in Thursdays 4-5:30 pm in room 46-110.

Please make sure you are healthy if you attent the lecture and keep your QR ready to be screened before the lecture.

Lectures, slides and accompanying material will be also provided via OpenOlat (accessible throughout the whole term). However, the records were made last year, so some content might have been changed or altered this year.

For each topic there will be accompanying quiz questions which you may use for self-testing.

The teachers will also provide an online meeting at 4pm at the date of the lecture. You will find the link on Olat. You can use this time to ask questions or to discuss the quiz.

If you are interested in working on plant acclimation, protein biochemistry, molecular chaperones, synthetic biology with algae or genetics, please contact me. I am always happy to welcome students who want to do their thesis in my lab.
