Scholar Minds Talk Series: Harald Prüß (Berlin)
Learn about senior scholars' (career) stories of doubts, struggles, detours, failures, and successes. Register now.
We are happy to invite you to this month's talk on Growing up in Science - Berlin. In every talk, we feature a scholar's story focusing on doubts, struggles, detours, failures, and successes throughout all career stages. The primary goal is not to offer classical career advice but to examine in some depth and in the context of a broader narrative the hidden human factors of working in academia. To know more about the rationale behind Growing up in Science talks, please have a look at this article.
Our speaker for this month is Prof. Dr. Harald Prüß (https://www.dzne.de/forschung/forschungsbereiche/grundlagenforschung/forschungsgruppen/pruess/curriculum-vitae/), Professor and Attending Physician in the Department of Neurology at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, group leader at the DZNE Berlin, and the head of the Experimental Neurology Department at Charité. His research focuses on the mechanisms of autoantibody-mediated impairment of neuronal function in the context of various types of autoimmune encephalitis. In his talk, he will share what he learned from frustrating setbacks during all career stages, how he has been struggling doing the splits between clinical and laboratory research, and why a good mood in the lab (in the meantime) means more to him than good science.
The event will take place online via Zoom on Wednesday, 22.03.2023, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.
Please register here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe98HwMHxE0DE68xKHDK0jkBpdsMWr1I9iXu4i2rOK3FKiH3w/viewform) to receive the link to this event, and please feel free to forward this email to your friends and colleagues.

Annual METIS Lecture
“Data is Not Neutral: Gender and Generalizability in Research Methodology”
https://www.metis.hu-berlin.de/2022/01/01/data-is-not-neutral-gender-and-generalizability-in-research-methodology/
Introduction by Dr. Ursula Fuhrich-Grubert, HU Berlin
Registration for Zoom invitation required by Monday 5 December: metis-online@hu-berlin.de
Abstract: For a long time, most human subjects research was performed primarily on white men. This was especially the case for research intended to be generalizable towards everyone. To address this bias, many funding agencies now have policies that require gender equality, by which they mean that women and men should be included in all generalizable research (e.g., drug treatment trials, brain imaging, exercise physiology). However, this bias correction reinforces two problematic ideas: that sex is binary and that sex difference is attributable to biological difference. Policy change that doesn’t address the history and context that led to biased sample populations only exposes bias and doesn’t fix it. So how do we include the variables of sex and gender in a way that allows us to uncover the many ways it can complicate, enhance, and broaden our understanding?And how can we show that there are times when research on women and gender diverse people actually produces the most generalizable findings?
In this year’s METIS Lecture, Professor Kathryn Clancy and Professor Jenny Davis will offer case studies across several disciplines to show how gender and sex are entangled, and enrich scholarly study. They will then suggest several queer feminist interventions into problem definition, data collection, and data interpretation towards a broader recognition of how all data are relevant — not only those that fall within a "normal range" but outliers and even those from excluded categories.

Vulnerable groups in academia: How are mentally healthy working conditions and scientific excellence compatible
Second online conference on Mental Health in PhD students
This year, we focus on vulnerable groups in academia and discuss how mentally healthy working conditions and scientific excellence are compatible. The conference will take place online on 28 October. The event will be held in English and the participation is free of charge. Afterwards, we would be happy to have an in-person gathering in Berlin to connect and discuss with other ECRs. The exact location of the gathering will depend on the number of registrations and announced in a separate email. The conference will incorporate a creative keynote lecture, different workshops, and a panel discussion to set the stage for health-related changes in the academic system. The conference was initiated by Scholar Minds, the Berlin Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence and the Techniker Krankenkasse. The whole event is a collaborative project of mental health initiatives and guest speakers from across Germany. We are very happy to include many different voices of academia in our keynote lecture: We will present short interviews with representatives from different vulnerable and underrepresented groups in science. Further, we offer workshops on a selection of re-current topics for early career researchers such as power abuse in academia (Dragonfly), academic mindsets on trial (Scholar Minds), a roadmap of helping offers in Germany (Techniker Krankenkasse), and stress management (Innerminder). Last but not least, there will be a panel discussion on the topic “(How) are mentally healthy working conditions and scientific excellence compatible?” opening the stage for different representatives from the academic and the health care system such as Ulf Tölch (Berlin Institute of Health, Charité Berlin), Elisa Filevich (Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), David Surges (Techniker Krankenkasse), and Mareike Bayer (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin).

Peer Mentoring – Career Development
Peer mentoring is tailored to doctoral candidates and post docs who do not have a clear career goal yet. They might have questions like, “Should I stay in academia or pursue a career in other working fields? Which kinds of opportunities are available for me? What would a successful step from academia to the working market look like?” The goal of this mentoring programme is to support this process of exploration and decision. It is easier to detect your own competencies and goals in a group of peers. Additionally, a group of peers has a wider range of experience and networks. The programme includes two appointments of six hours each. Both meetings are moderated by Dr. Cornelia Rahn.
Between both meetings the participants are asked to continue working.
Free of charge for doctoral candidates and postdocs of HU Berlin.

Peer Mentoring – Karriereentwicklung (Kurssprache: Deutsch)
Peer Mentoring richtet sich an Promovierende und Postdocs, die noch kein klares Karriereziel haben und sich fragen, wie es nach der Promotion beruflich weitergehen kann. Soll ich in der Wissenschaft bleiben oder eine außeruniversitäre Karriere anstreben? Welche beruflichen Möglichkeiten gibt es für mich außerhalb von Universitäten? Wie kann der Umstieg von der Hochschule in den außeruniversitären Arbeitsmarkt gelingen? Das Ziel des Peer Mentoring Programmes ist, diesen Erkundungs- und Entscheidungsprozess zu unterstützen. In einer Gruppe von Personen, die in einer ähnlichen Situation sind, ist es einerseits leichter, die eigenen Stärken und Ziele klarer herauszuarbeiten. Andererseits verfügt eine Gruppe auch über einen größeren Erfahrungsschatz und mehr Kontakte in den Arbeitsmarkt. Das Programm umfasst zwei Termine, die beide von Dr. Cornelia Rahn geleitet werden:
In der Zeit zwischen den Terminen gibt es Aufgaben zur Bearbeitung.die Veranstaltung findet im Raum 123 (Luisenstr. 56, Berlin Mitte) statt.
Anmeldungen: hgs-mentoring@hu-berlin.de
Kosten: Für Promovierende und PostDocs der Humboldt-Universität ist dieses Angebot kostenfrei.

In every talk, we feature a scholar's story focusing on doubts, struggles, detours, and failures throughout all stages of his/her career. The primary goal is not to offer classical career advice but to examine in some depth and in the context of a broader narrative the hidden human factors of working in academia. To know more about the rationale behind Growing up in Science talks, please have a look at this article. We are looking forward to destigmatizing talking about struggling in academia and we are excited to see you involved in this discussion to create a healthier research environment.

Becoming Aware Through Mindfulness
Scholar Minds is a PhD initiative based in Berlin which focuses on mental health during the doctorate. Their mission is to help other PhD students to achieve a better mental health and work-life balance. Pursuing a doctorate is an exceptional time with great opportunities like investigating a phenomenon no one ever did before or discussing your research with new people from all over the world. But are you aware that this exceptional time also harbors exceptional dangers to your mental health? Are you aware that you as a PhD student are six times more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression? During the event, the team will raise participants' awareness on mental health struggles related to their doctorate and introduce a tool to become more resilient: mindfulness. Mindfulness is a simple meditation tool that can help you to increase mental well-being. With the team at this event is mindfulness expert Dr. Simon Guendelman (Berlin School of Mind and Brain) who will present the concept and latest findings from (neuroscientific) research.

The event is organized by doctoral candidates from Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin as members of the Berlin University Alliance.
