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! Place and time: room 224, on Wednesday ~ 16.45 h (after the Biophysics II lecture). The next seminars will be given as listed in the following table (which is to be completed as a hard copy to be found at the “Wahlpflichtfach-Optional Lectures board” in the seminar room section in building Linnéstraße 5! Please, fill in your name and topic number! Thank you!): |
