The exercises will be held in the tradition of the former “Biophysics seminar”: this means that the participants will give talks on topics of modern biophysical research (for topics, see on the bottom of this page). Preparation: -literature search -consideration of at least one English original paper, not older than published in 2000 -powerpoint or transparency presentations, length ~45 min -talk has to be in final form and to be delivered to me at least ONE WEEK in advance! -prepare a 1-2 page handout for the participants Place and time: room 224, on Friday , 9.15 h. The next seminars will be given as listed in the following table (if you like to jump in, please, email me!)
