[yDiv] The power of saying no (February 17, 2023 | online)

Written by

There are free slots in the following workshop organised by yDiv the graduate school of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.

When everything feels like an opportunity, a priority, or an obligation, how do we say no? The truth is we cannot start saying no until we get clear on why we keep saying yes to everything.

In the webinar “The power of saying no” with lecturer Desiree Dickerson on 17 February, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm, you will explore:

  • why we tend to say yes (people-pleasing, scarcity and uncertainty, perceived opportunities, regret minimisation, emotion, obligation, the path of least resistance)
  • the impacts of saying yes to everything: time poverty, exhaustion, loss of self and loss of joy for what we do
  • why we need to start saying no
  • how to start saying no (clear boundaries and priorities, with confidence and without guilt)

You can register here by 13 February. You are welcome to forward this link to interested colleagues. 

The webinar takes places within the yDiv event series ‘mental well-being in academia’.

Lise Meitner – was wir aus Ihrem „inhaltsreichen Leben“ heute lernen können

by Prof. Dr. Cornelia Denz (PTB Braunschweig)

Lise Meitner gehört durch ihre Entdeckung und Erklärung der Kernspaltung zu den bedeutendsten wissenschaftlichen Persönlichkeiten des 20 Jahrhunderts. „Unsere Madame Curie“ nannte sie daher ihr Kollege Albert Einstein, und verweist damit gleichzeitig auf eine Zeit, in der Frauen in der Physik rar waren und an vielen Fronten um Anerkennung kämpfen mussten. Lise Meitner forschte unter diesen Bedingungen dennoch höchst erfolgreich, zunächst an der Universität, später am Kaiser-Wilhelm- Institut für Chemie in Berlin. Ihre herausragende Forschungskarriere wurde zu Beginn der NS-Herrschaft jäh unterbrochen und führte sie auf abenteuerlichem, beschwerlichem Weg in ein Leben im Exil in Schweden. Auch dort blieb Lise Meitner ihrem Lebensziel treu, ein „inhaltsreiches Leben“ zu führen: die Physik zu verstehen und bleibende wissenschaftliche Beiträge zu leisten.

Der Vortrag stellt Lise Meitner in verschiedenen Facetten vor, als Studentin, Physikerin, Abteilungsleiterin und Privatdozentin, aber auch als Kollegin und Freundin, und diskutiert aktuelle Bezüge zu Frauen in den Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften heute.

Ethics and Responsible Leadership in Business – Call for Applications

Written by

The Wittenberg Center for Global Ethics (WCGE) hosts the international doctoral program “Ethics and Responsible Leadership in Business” (ERL). For admissions in October/November 2023, the program will award up to four

MEMBERSHIPS AND DOCTORAL SCHOLARSHIPS.

The membership in the doctoral program “Ethics and Responsible Leadership in Business” offers a wide range of opportunities for academic and professional exchange and networking, for example in the context of field projects with companies and NGOs and through regular discussions with experts from academia and practice. The study program promotes the research activities of the doctoral students thematically and methodologically, helps them to become aware of questions of theory-practice transfer, and broadens their research horizons.The close exchange between the doctoral students is ensured by regular events such as monthly jour fixe, work on joint projects and multi- day writing retreats.

The scholarships include a monthly living stipend of 1,350 € and research allowance of 100 € financed by the Karl Schlecht Foundation (KSG). Further candidates will be assisted with applying for other doctoral scholarships, for examples by putting them forward for doctoral scholarship by the Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft (sdw). It is also possible to participate in the doctoral program without having a scholarship.
