Den Auftakt macht Frauke Gräter, […]

  • Future Compute Paradigms

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

    By Wolfgang Maier, Director HW Development, IBM R&D - Systems & Technology Group, Böblingen The ongoing digitization of todays world is essentially based on Shannon's theory of Information and its implementation by means of semiconductor cicuitry, which is characterized by Moore's law. The principal concept of this approach is to represent information by bits, which […]

  • Kolloquium Robert C. Williamson: The AI of Ethics

    online

      Prof. Dr. Robert C. Williamson, Australian National University, Research School of Computer Science, Australia With the rapid growth of AI and its deployment with consequences to people, ethical concerns regarding AI have become extremely topical. In this talk I will present a view somewhat contrary relative to much of the current literature. After briefly […]

  • Kolloquium Robert Best: Molecular Simulations of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

      By Robert Best, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Theoretical Biophysical Chemistry Section, USA Intrinsically disordered proteins are now recognized to play a variety of roles in biology, yet are challenging to characterize by experiment owing to the diverse ensemble of structures they populate. This makes molecular simulations, which can generate […]

  • Workshop: I’m a scientist, not a writer!

      The measure of science is citations. Whether experimental results get called significant or whether new lines of research get taken up depends on the number of citations an article receives. And it's always articles. The primary outlet of scientific research is the journal, and a journal's Impact Factor (its index for frequency of article […]

  • Online-Vortrag zum Thema „Asteroseismologie“

    online

    Wie sehen die Sterne am Nachthimmel eigentlich unter ihrer leuchtenden Oberfläche aus? Lange Zeit konnten wir über das Innere von Sternen nur spekulieren. Heutzutage jedoch kann die Wissenschaft die Struktur eines Sterns messen – mit neuen Methoden wie der Asteroseismologie. Wie genau das funktioniert, erklärt die neue HITS Gruppenleiterin Saskia Hekker bei ihrem Online-Vortrag am […]

  • Siobhan Roberts: Embracing the Uncertainties

      In her talk, Siobhan Roberts will reflect on her pandemic reporting and the importance of uncertainty in science. She will discuss epistemic uncertainty, a lack of knowledge about facts and numbers pertaining to the past and present, versus aleatory uncertainty, unknowns about the future due to randomness and chance. She will also explore the […]
