“In November 2016, the SoHaPi students organized a workshop on soft skills held by Philipp Gramlich from NaturalScience.careers (http://naturalscience.careers/en/) at the German Primate Centre (DPZ) in Göttingen. The 3 day workshop was comprised of a well-balanced mixture of knowledge transfer and interactive tasks. We learned about future career options and work-life balances, improved our presentation and small talk skills and received tips and tricks on establishing and expanding our networks.
| We recently held an Endocrinology workshop (Oct 26th-28th) at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. We were lucky enough to end the week with two guest speakers. Dr. Jacinta Beehner (University of Michigan) gave a talk on reproductive strategies in geladas and her PhD student, India Schneider-Crease (Duke University), gave insight into the drivers and costs of larval tapeworm infection in geladas. |  |
Our SoHaPi Workshop: Molecular Epidemiology took place at the Robert Koch Institute (Berlin) from June 20th-24th, 2016. It was a pleasure to welcome our guest speaker Dr. Vanessa Ezenwa (University of Georgia) who gave two talks on the host-parasite relationship of nematodes in African buffalo.
