The winter term of the Dresden Seniors Academy has started. Like every year since 2003, the MPI-CBG offers a seminar series entitled "Microcosm Cell". This program is targeted at retired people in Dresden, who can enroll and hear lectures at the Technische Universität Dresden. The talks are a perfect chance for postdocs and for predocs to learn the basics of science communication by giving a talk in front of a non-scientific audience.
All lectures are in German and will be held from 14:30–15:30 in the MPI-CBG Auditorium on the dates listed below. Everybody is welcome!
