You have to travel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">to the experimental site long before the experiment starts and prepare the host institute for the mesocosm \u201ccircus\u201d that is coming to town soon. You have to be in contact with all participants, arrange their travel, orders, customs, sampling, analytics, and their return home. This gives me the possibility to get to know all participants way before they arrive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And the close interaction continues on site! In principle, I wouldn\u2019t have to leave my desk in order to meet all people regularly. We arrange the sampling schedule, bills need to be paid, we need to discuss next steps, they want to have a look on the CTD data, or kindly and politely ask for some cookies because they were working all day and didn\u2019t have the time to eat. There is no better way to attract hungry scientists than leaving some cookies unattended in the room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_740\" style=\"width: 145px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-740\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-740\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea1-135x135.jpg\" alt=\"Lennart, &quot;should i take one.....or....maybe two?&quot;\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lennart, &#8220;should i take one&#8230;..or&#8230;.maybe two?&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sometimes, I ask myself whether there is a statistically significant correlation between scientific curiosity and appetite for sweets. Is there a lab study on this available? (Wikipedia definition of lab study: Investigation under controlled conditions in a specially designed environment)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Now it is time to pack. Containers are ordered, ship that brings back the mesocosm bags is booked, and carnets are ready to be controlled. Sadly I start cleaning up my desk. But I will leave the cookies here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Good that the next two studies are already in the preparation phase and I can start dealing with new colleagues, other locations, and different visitors.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_742\" style=\"width: 145px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-742\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-742\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea3-135x135.jpg\" alt=\"Jana and Micha\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jana and Micha<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Andrea<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">_________<\/p>\n<p>Ich habe das gro\u00dfe Gl\u00fcck eine Arbeit im Rahmen der Mesokosmenstudien zu haben, bei der viele F\u00e4den zusammen laufen.<\/p>\n<p>Die Logistik und Koordination einer Studie dieser Gr\u00f6\u00dfe bedarf einer Vorbereitungszeit von mindestens einem Jahr. Man muss sowohl an den zuk\u00fcnftigen Ort der Studie reisen, um das Institut auf die Ankunft unseres Mesoksomen\u2019zirkus\u2018 vorzubereiten, als auch im intensiven Austausch mit allen Teilnehmern schauen, wie der Transport des Equipments, die Analytik vor Ort, die t\u00e4gliche Probenahme, Nachbestellungen und die R\u00fcckreise organsiert wird. Das gibt mir die M\u00f6glichkeit alle Beteiligten schon lange vor der Studie kennenzuleren und einen regen Austausch mit Ihnen zu f\u00fchren. So entsteht schon vorab eine engere<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_741\" style=\"width: 145px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-741\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-741\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea2-135x135.jpg\" alt=\"Nadine\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-741\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nadine<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bindung. In meinem B\u00fcro hier vor Ort geht der rege Austausch dann weiter. Theoretisch k\u00f6nnte ich einfach die ganze Zeit an meinem Schreibtisch sitzen bleiben und w\u00fcrde doch jeden fr\u00fcher oder sp\u00e4ter einmal zu Gesicht bekommen. Entweder muss die Probenahme diskutiert werden, Rechnungen m\u00fcssen bezahlt werden, die n\u00e4chsten Schritte m\u00fcssen besprochen werden, es muss mal ein Blick auf die CTD Daten geworfen werden, oder man hat einen tierischen Hei\u00dfhunger auf Kekse. Es gibt einfach kein bessere Methode um hungrige Wissenschaftler anzulocken, falls man nicht vereinsamen will, als Kekse. Manchmal frage ich mich, ob es da einen statistich relevanten Zusammenhang gibt, zwischen der wissenschaftlichen Neugier und der Vorliebe f\u00fcr S\u00fc\u00dfes. Gibt es dazu schon eine Laborstudie (Wikipedia Erkl\u00e4rung des Begriffs Laborstudie: Untersuchung unter kontrollierten Bedingungen in einem speziell f\u00fcr die Studie entwickelten Milieu)?<\/p>\n<p>Nun steht das Zusammenpacken vor der T\u00fcr, die Container sind bestellt, ein Schiff ist zum Einholen der Mesokosmens\u00e4cke organisiert, die Zollpapiere liegen bereit und mit ein bisschen Wehmut beginne ich meinen Schreibtisch aufzur\u00e4umen.<\/p>\n<p>Nur die Kekse, die lasse ich erst mal noch stehen.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_745\" style=\"width: 145px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea6.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-745\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-745\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/kosmos2014gc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/11\/drea6-135x135.jpeg\" alt=\"Paul\" width=\"135\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Gut ist nur, dass zwei weitere Mesokosmenstudien vor der T\u00fcr stehen und ich zumindest gedanklich schon mit neuen Orten, neuen Kollegen und sp\u00e4teren Besuchern besch\u00e4ftigt bin.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[deutsche Version unten] I am the lucky person within the mesocosm team, with the job to coordinate the interplay between different groups.
