Nerd Nite 2023
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!
Naturkundemuseum
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
