From the PhD-Odyssey to Project Management

Welcome Week
  • Beginn: 07.10.2024 09:00
  • Ende: 08.10.2024 17:00
  • Vortragende(r): Sabine Preusse, RaumZeit e.K.
  • Dr. Sabine Preusse received her PhD in theoretical astrophysics in 2005 after studying geophysics. After her doctorate, she became project manager for European research and development projects at the Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum in Karlsruhe in the field of production technologies in 2006. In 2011, she started her own business, RaumZeit e.K. Coaching Beratung Training, focusing on proposal writing and project management of research and innovation projects. Since then, she has accompanied scientists and research groups individually and in teams as a trainer, coach and consultant. In her project management approach, Dr. Preusse transfers classical and agile project management approaches to the context of research projects. In doing so, she integrates her own experience with content and methods from her advanced training courses. She is a business economist (IWW), BDVT certified trainer and consultant, BDVT certified business coach and expert in controlling success. In addition, she has received further training in the areas of intellectual property, communication, free educational materials, video production for the dissemination of project results, among others.

Doing a PhD is very much related to a hero’s story. Starting highly motivated defining the research topic, PhD-students soon encounter the first obstacles. However, like heroes they will meet someone, a mentor, who will get deeply involved in their training as a researcher. This may be a supervisor ... [mehr]

Requirements for the housing of wild birds in animal experiments – what rules do we have and where do they come from?

Rado Seminar by Wolfgang Fiedler

  • Kontakt: ddechmann@ab.mpg.de
Although the law on animal testing requires that wild animals used in animal testing be housed in a manner appropriate to the species and the animal, it does not provide any specific guidelines. There are a number of guidelines for this, some of which also have the character of a law. How are such ... [mehr]

Unraveling cave-dwelling bat conservation

CASCB Guest talk
  • Datum: 16.09.2024
  • Uhrzeit: 12:00 - 13:00
  • Vortragende(r): Jennifer de Sousa Barros
  • With over ten years of experience studying bats, Jennifer received her master’s from the Universidade Federal de Lavras and her Ph.D. from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco in Brazil, where she focused on bat cave selection across multiple habitats and developed a prioritization strategy for cave conservation in Brazil. Her research led to a postdoctoral fellowship at the Zukunftskolleg from the University of Konstanz, to understand the behavioral ecology in cave bat roosting energetic strategies in Cyprus. Currently, she is leading the Brazil Program of Bat Conservation International, focused on protecting caves with endangered species and large colonies in Brazil.
  • Ort: University of Konstanz
  • Raum: ZT1202
  • Gastgeber: CASCB
Subterranean habitats are good roosts for many bat species, protecting them against predators and bad weather and favoring reproduction, parental care, and social interaction. Understanding how cave bat communities are related to caves can facilitate a better understanding of roost selection ... [mehr]

Fine-scale flight behaviour of golden eagles reveals the use of different uplift sources in a topographically complex region

Rado Seminar by Francesca Frisoni
  • Datum: 13.09.2024
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Francesca Frisoni
  • Ort: Hybrid meeting
  • Raum: Seminar room MPI-AB Bücklestrasse + Online
  • Gastgeber: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
  • Kontakt: ddechmann@ab.mpg.de
Soaring birds are highly dependent on rising air currents (uplifts) to fly long distances at very low energetic costs. Previous studies, based on observations and low-resolution atmospheric data, have shown that soaring birds tend to use mainly two types of uplifts, orographic and thermal uplifts ... [mehr]

Both foraging and socializing have a profound influence on animal survival and reproductive success, and for many species, are interdependent. Social foraging thus encompasses a wide range of behaviors that help animals overcome diverse challenges. When animals exploit food sources that are ... [mehr]

Doctoral defense by Pranav Minasandra

Supervised by Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin

All animals behave. Behaviour allows animals flexibility in dealing with heterogeneous, dynamic environments, and a key goal of the field of animal behaviour is to understand how, when, and why animals do what they do. To better understand behaviour, we can view it as a sequence of discrete ... [mehr]

AI-enabled scientific discovery in natural world imagery

Institute Seminar by Sara Beery
  • Datum: 16.07.2024
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Sara Beery
  • Dr. Sara Beery is the Homer A. Burnell Career Development Professor in the MIT Faculty of Artificial Intelligence and Decision-Making. She was previously a visiting researcher at Google, working on large-scale urban forest monitoring as part of the Auto Arborist project. She received her PhD in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech in 2022, where she was advised by Pietro Perona and awarded the Amori Doctoral Prize for her thesis. Her research focuses on building computer vision methods that enable global-scale environmental and biodiversity monitoring across data modalities, tackling real-world challenges including geospatial and temporal domain shift, learning from imperfect data, fine-grained categories, and long-tailed distributions. She partners with industry, nongovernmental organizations, and government agencies to deploy her methods in the wild worldwide. She works toward increasing the diversity and accessibility of academic research in artificial intelligence through interdisciplinary capacity building and education, and has founded the AI for Conservation slack community, serves as the Biodiversity Community Lead for Climate Change AI, founded and directs the Workshop on Computer Vision Methods for Ecology, and co-leads the NSF Global Climate Center on AI and Biodiversity Change.
