About the Series
Starting as a postdoc, junior group leader or junior professor, it is usually expected to supervise doctoral candidates. Supervision however is one of the tasks that are so "normal" in academia that we quite often neglect to further explain and prepare: "Everybody knows what supervision is so we don’t need to talk about it." – As a result of this mindset, researchers who start...

Rationale and Objectives
Researchers are increasingly faced with expectations to raise third-party funds if they want to pursue a successful research career. Yet, applying for third-party funds is not an end in itself and could even be detrimental to research careers, if disconnected from own scientific or life plans or scientific goals. This workshop, thus, aims to clarify which kinds of funding...

Although women are highly qualified in science, they continue to be structurally disadvantaged. They are underrepresented in key positions, less likely to be recognised as experts, and have less speaking time at events. And when they raise their voices, they are more often victims of hate speech. This is not an individual failure, but rather a reflection of a system that distributes visibility...

Sprachmodelle können Lernprozesse unterstützen – doch ihre Antworten sind nicht frei von Verzerrungen. In dieser Session beleuchten wir, wie Bias in KI‑gestützten Texten entsteht und welche Folgen das für Studium und Lehre hat. Anschließend erproben wir Strategien, mit denen sich Antworten kritisch prüfen und Verzerrungen durch geschicktes Formulieren der eigenen Fragen reduzieren lassen.

The Material Traditions of the Psalms

In the fourth century, Athanasius of Alexandria wrote in his letter to Marcellinus regarding the astonishing nature of the Psalms, saying that their reader recognises the Psalms ‘as being his own words. And the one who hears is deeply moved, as though he himself were speaking, and is affected by the words of the...

For over two millennia, the Psalms have served as a source of devotion, identity, and artistic inspiration across cultures and traditions. While their textual traditions are relatively well studied, the extent of the Psalms’ rich material and visual heritage—transcribed on parchment, carved in stone, woven into textiles, and integrated into diverse media—has never been fully investigated.
