yPC KarriereRadio

What makes a great scientific article? In this episode of yPC KarriereRadio, we sit down with Christiane Brox and Vanessa Vethacke, publishers at Springer Nature, to explore this question and much more. Together, they offer a behind-the-scenes look at how the publishing landscape is evolving—driven by digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and a growing demand for transparency and integrity. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about the future of publishing, the importance of scientific integrity, and how AI is both a disruptor and an opportunity in scholarly communication.

What do extreme mountain climbing and an academic career have in common? This and more will be explored in this episode of yPC KarriereRadio, where we’re joined by Maren Podewitz, Professor for Theoretical Chemistry at TU Vienna. After earning her PhD at ETH Zurich and completing a postdoc at UCLA, Maren stepped outside academia to work in an insurance company before ultimately returning to academia as a professor. We’ll discuss her groundbreaking research, her non-linear career path, and the questions HR asked her when she applied for a role as a risk manager. Tune in for an insightful conversation on career growth and personal development!

In der neuen Folge von yPC KarriereRadio sprechen wir mit Prof. Stefan Schramm über faszinierende Lichtphänomene – von leuchtenden Glühwürmchen bis hin zu innovativen Technologien.

“Chat GPT and Protein Design” – that is the title of Tobias Beck's contribution to the Trend Report for Physical Chemistry 2024 published in “Nachrichten aus der Chemie”. In this episode of KarriereRadio, we interview Tobias Beck, professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Hamburg, about his groundbreaking work on protein-based nanomaterials. We also discuss his Trend Report, exploring the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and protein design. This episode was recorded prior to the announcement of this year’s Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry, where the pivotal role of machine learning and AI was particularly recognized. If you're intrigued by cutting-edge research at the crossroads of chemistry and AI, you won't want to miss this episode!
