Have you ever been hesitant to criticize somebody's work because you were afraid the wrong tone could hurt their feelings? Or felt like you just couldn't efficiently formulate what you "actually" wanted to say to really help someone thrive? Or have you been put off by feedback you received, which negatively impacted your motivation and well-being? In this week's PPBC, Koyote Millar will present available strategies to make life easier.

Do you need to write a "kappe" for your article-based PhD dissertation, yet struggle in how to manage this? Then this workshop by David Burke is for you! Sign up by February 12, as the number of attendees is limited.

UiODoc is ready for the year's very first PhD and Postdoc Breakfast Club! We hope you will join us in listening to Matthew Good's timely talk about his Digital Scholarship Center project and the increasingly important digital research.

The pandemic, while still ongoing, has already had a dramatic impact on UiO activity and highlighted issues with implications that are yet to be fully grasped. This panel discussion is an attempt at opening up a UiO-wide conversation that will enable influential voices in the university research environment to share their experience and perspectives on this situation. Specifically, we will focus on: 

• How does COVID-19 affect early career researchers?

• What are the institutions doing to mitigate the impact?

• What are foreseeable difficulties on the implementation of such measures?

UiODoc is proud to host a Christmas quiz this 17 December at 12:30 pm. Let’s test and stretch those brain cells for the last time this year and right before the Christmas break (and before the longest year ever ends aka 2020).

MSc Tharvesh Moideen Liyakat Ali at Institute of Basic Medical Sciences will be defending the thesis “Three-dimensional topology of the genome: A computational modeling perspective” for the degree of PhD (Philosophiae Doctor).

MSc Tharvesh Moideen Liyakat Ali at Institute of Basic Medical Sciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Genetic variation and “enhanceropathies”.

MD Anton Baysa at Institute of Basic Medical Sciences will be defending the thesis “The role of p66ShcA and TLR9 signaling in myocardial remodeling and innate immune responses” for the degree of PhD (Philosophiae Doctor).

MD Anton Baysa at Institute of Basic Medical Sciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Clinical Implications of Autophagy in the Cardiovascular System.

In this year's November edition of the PhD and Postdoc Breakfast Club, Karoline Moe will give a presentation on how to improve your poster-making skills.🤓

As of late October, we are all once again told to work from home as much as practically possible. But how does this affect us, and what can we do about it? 

MSc Laura Bojarskaite at Deparment of Molecular Medicine will be defending the thesis “Roles of Astrocytes in Sleep and Brain Waste Clearance” for the degree of PhD (Philosophiae Doctor).

MSc Laura Bojarskaite at Deparment of Molecular Medicine will give a trial lecture on the given topic: The role of innate immunity in neurodegenerative diseases.

Women Researchers in Informatics (WRI) in collaboration with UiODoc are hosting the webinar Preparation for Academic Jobs after PhD. The webinar will be an informative series of talks providing attending PhDs and PostDocs with the means to prepare themselves for interviews for the next positions within academia and beyond. You will also learn about the evaluation process for postdoc and faculty positions, including the interview phase. The webinar consists of two talks and a panel discussion with space for the participants to ask questions.

Pitching - a short persuasive presentation - is an essential skill for both arguing for your research and landing your next job. In this breakfast talk by Alan Louis Belardinelli, we will gain new insights into how to pitch yourself for employers.

Msc Mikkel Elle Lepperød at Institute of Basic Medical Sciences will be defending the thesis “Dissecting neuronal circuits for navigation in experiments and models” for the degree of PhD (Philosophiae Doctor).
