If you work in science, you have to say goodbye to your private life – that’s at least least the stereotype. You’re constantly doing research and moving around for field experiments and congresses. This is true to a certain extent, but there is more to it than that. Interviews with various people reveal the facets […]
Wer in der Wissenschaft arbeitet, muss sich von seinem Privatleben verabschieden – so das Klischée. Ständig ist man am Forschen und zieht für Feldexperimente und Kongresse umher. Ein stückweit stimmt das, doch dahinter steckt mehr. In Interviews mit verschiedenen Personen werden die Facetten der Vereinbarkeit von einem Job in der Wissenschaft und einem Privatleben mit […]

Work-life balance is the defining term of our time. Like no other, it expresses the fact that fulfilling work is important and does you good.

Beides ist unerlässlich, – das haben uns genügend Bore-Out- und Burn-Out-Fälle bestätigt – wollen […]

The reason for my long silence was coordinating the GoJelly H2020 project, where all of our activities were reported mainly through the project homepage (www.gojelly.eu).I am back with a piece of exciting news! Yesterday, we deployed the first model of our microplastic […]
Today scientific cruise party member Elvita is going to take you even deeper into the world of plankton (aka “the diverse collection of organisms in the water column that are unable to propel themselves against a current”). Here is what she writes: While we were all excited about finding an early cod larva in our […]
The natural sciences seem to be so closely connected to art. Why is that and what do two ocean scientists, who are also artists, say about this fascinating topic? The interview with them was a real revelation. A selection of their breathtaking pictures is shown in the video. Alba Filella López de Lamadrid and Nicolás […]
Today scientific crew member Anton is going to introduce you to the importance and fascination of larval fishes in the Baltic Sea. Here is his blog entry: Most of the fish species in the Baltic Sea spawn in spring. This is the time when life starts to bloom not only on land but also in […]
by Willi Rath About a year ago we introduced the GEOMAR (open!) Hacky Hour, a weekly (virtual) programming and data analysis support meeting compensating for missing door-to-door exchange in the office during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is about our lessons learned along the way. If you’re interested in participating or have any other questions or […]
