- Your talk:
-
When preparing a talk for our colloquium, please:
- Send a PDF-file of an (almost) final version of your talk by email to V. Franz a day before the talk (latest: 2h before the talk). Details for the PDF-file: 1 slide per page. Make sure that you do NOT create separate pages for each step of animations. Give this PDF-file a sensible name. E.g., colloq-(your-last-name)-(date).pdf. If you made major changes to the talk after sending it to V. Franz, then please also send the final version after your talk.
- Practice your talk!
- Adhere to the time-limits during your talk. Practice that!
- Present data as graphs (supplemented but not supplanted by numerical statistics). Often these graphs will simply be means with error-bars showing the standard error of the mean.
- Provide your name, the date of your talk, your institution (often this is simply: University of Tübingen), etc. at the title-slide.
- Practice your talk!
- Finally (just in case, I forgot to mention): Practice your talk! Send a PDF before the talk!
- Journal club:
- 5-10 min presentation + 25-20 min discussion (in total app. 30 min; please make sure you adhere to these time-limits!). In the journal club a member of our group present an influential, scientific article relevant to our current work. Articles should typically be recent (e.g., 3-5 years), but could also be older if of special interest. Articles will be available at our file-server (with the path being e.g., EC-STORE/literature/articles/journal-club-WS2025), please ask a member of our group if you do not know how to access those. Please make sure that a meaningful reference (containing title, author, year, journal) is presented at this web-page (either by you or by sending an email to V. Franz) and that the full APA-reference in the correct APA-formatting is present on the title-slide of your presentation (besides the typical things that should always be on a title slide: your name, the date of your talk, your institution (often this is simply: University of Tübingen) .
