iRTG posts
Welcome, Marthinus van Niekerk!
Marthinus van Niekerk joined our iRTG! He is working in the experimental polymer physics group with Prof. Thurn-Albrecht on the project “Substrate-induced molecular order andnucleation in polymer thin films”.
This is the way: Good scientific practice workshop (March 23, 2021)
The aims of this short workshop are to get to know the basic rules and values of good scientific practice. The participants will discuss questionable conduct of research and misconduct and learn about possible solutions for difficult situations.
