STUDENT CHAPTER OF SIAM

MAGDEBURG

After a far too long break, there is finally a Nerd Nite in Magdeburg again! At Nerd Nite, you can listen to three entertaining yet informative talks in a relaxed atmosphere; true to the motto "it's like the Discovery Channel — with beer!". And just like on the Discovery Channel, all the presentations are in English. Questions are explicitly welcome (also in German).

This time we could win two Magdeburg researchers from the "Polarstern" and the Kicker Syndikat to present these talks:

• Thomas Richter: The erratic and annoying drift of sea ice
• Kicker Syndikat Magdeburg: Is table soccer even a sport?
• Carolin Mehlmann: Sea ice in a changing climate

When?         November 6, 2023, 8-10 p.m.

Where?        The Lion City Pub, Keplerstr. 7

Admission?  free

Remember: the pub offers plenty food and drinks, so please don't bring your own.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

We were happy to visit one of the must-see museums in Magdeburg - the Museum of Natural History on Friday, 9/22/2023 at 15:00. 

The museum offers a permanent exhibition dedicated to biodiversity and evolution, habitats of Saxony-Anhalt as well as climate change and evolution during the Ice Age. There is also a special exhibition on prehistoric crabs.

The tickets and the guided tour were sponsored by SIAM Chapter. We hope that all the participants had fun and could broaden their scientific horizons

We invite you to a barbeque on Thursday, May 25th, from 5:00 PM held by the SIAM Student Chapter of Magdeburg.
It will take place at the lawn area in front of building 16 (G16) at the OVGU campus,
where we have space to party, eat, and play some games (frisbee,
badminton,... feel free to bring your own game!).

We will provide food (sausages, cheese, veggies,...) and drinks. If you feel like bringing some salad, dessert, or other food/snacks, you are encouraged to do so, but it is not necessary.
In order to have a greener event, you are very welcome to bring your own mug and plate.
You can also bring along your colleagues, friends, or partner. Feel
free to share the information with anyone who might be interested in
the event!
