METIS Best Practise: Neurocure's "Action Potentials"
|
|
|
|

|
|
Actions researchers can take to support equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in STEM
|
|
Empowering neuroscientists with "easy-to-implement tools"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The “Action Potentials” series aims to empower neuroscientists with easy-to-implement tools to take action in areas where EDI-relevant problems are known to occur. This evolving list of recommendations addresses areas that researchers themselves can impact directly, namely, interactions with team members and the research itself.

How does a neuron decide when and where to make a synapse?
January 16, 2024 | 4 pm | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13 Haus 6, 10115 Berlin + ZOOM Meeting-ID: 775 491 0236
|
|
Precise synaptic connectivity and individual neuronal decisions to make or break synapses are prerequisites for the function of neural circuits. Yet, individual neurons, taken out of their developmental and functional context, readily form unspecific synapses. How does genetically encoded brain wiring deal with this apparent contradiction? Brain development and function are not only characterized by precision, but also flexibility and robustness. Cellular interactions are restricted in space and time, including restrictive interaction dynamics and the molecular and cellular competency to form synapses. This seminar will explore the question how an individual neuron decides when and where to make a synapse in the living Drosophila brain. Read more >>

We live in turbulent times. In order to keep hope alive, sound research is needed that is geared towards positive solutions. The beginning of a new year is a good time to remind ourselves of this. Our card motif is taken from the 2024 DFG Calendar: it shows the largest simulation of magnetised supersonic turbulence to date. Turbulent flows are an omnipresent phenomenon in our universe – for example when a star is formed. And the latter is an important symbol of hope, especially at Christmas time.

Online event: Relevance of Sex, Gender and Diversity in Research
January 10, 2024 | 1 - 2 pm | webex
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to improve the quality of research and avoid “blind spots”, the DFG suggests that sex, gender and/or other dimensions of diversity be adequately taken into consideration in the content of research projects. Where such dimensions are relevant, the consideration of sex, gender and other dimensions of diversity can have concrete implications for the planning, implementation and outcomes of a research project: they might influence the formation of hypotheses, be reflected in the selection of methods and categories of analysis, or have an impact on the creation of data sets.
