Dear colleagues,
I would like to invite you to the first meeting of PhD students and postdocs in 2020: PhD_post.doc club! Even New year didn’t change the tradition of the first Thursdays. Our meeting will be held on 6th February from 4:00 PM in the UHELNA!
Uhelna is situated in the building A: ground floor under the main stairs opposite the courtyard. Arrows will direct you 😊.
For those who have not heard about PhD_Post.doc club yet:
We are organizing regular meetings of PhD students and postdocs, where we have a great opportunity to get to know each other and learn from our colleagues who we normally do not have a chance to meet or we meet them every day on the corridor but don’t know anything about them.
PhD_Post.doc club always takes place on the first Thursday every month.
The meeting is divided into two parts. First, three chaired lectures from our colleagues (in English), then free refreshment and time for a meet-and-greet.
Come to learn new things, discuss, get refreshed and meet people!
For organizational reasons, I would like to ask you for your sign up at this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zb39UNVA81kmsnnPAlW9_4ko0ZTmQH_siHhZClBc3o/edit?usp=sharing
More information will be available on the R&D websites (CZ version, “Semináře VaV”).
The programme of our first meeting in 2020 will be as follows:
4:00 – max. 5:30 PM
Chairman: Vojtěch Kouba
Jakub Med (PhD student z Ústavu fyzikální chemie, FCHI)
Solvated electron - the smallest ion from the perspective of a theoretical chemist.
What you didn't know about throwing sodium into water and more...
Michal Strejček (odborný asistent z Ústavu biochemie a mikrobiologie, FPBT)
Do you like jigsaw puzzles? Try metagenomics!
What is metagenomics and how it is helping us to discover novel microorganisms.
Dana Vejmelková (odborná asistentka z Ústavu technologie vody a prostředí, FTOP)
My view on a healthy (academic) work environment: Utopia or possible future at UCT?
Do you see a cleaning lady as an important part of the team? Are you willing to share both, achievements and failures? Do we respect each other? Do we acknowledge our colleagues enough? Is it possible to work maximum fourty hours per week and do good job? What should be my priorities? Can everybody do everything?
“We are all teachers and learners”, regardless of age, education or position at work.
5:30 – 7:30 PM Refreshment and time for a meet-and-greet! 😊
We are looking forward to you!
Yours faithfully
Markéta Nováková
