Presenting one-self and one’s own work is an essential skill for a young researcher. Your impact on the scientific community is dependent on the way you present yourself and your data. This is why we will use this retreat as an opportunity to actively practice short presentations, gain confidence while presenting and discover the storyteller inside each of us. The retreat will be run by hfp consulting and will take place in Kandersteg, Switzerland from May 17-19, 2017.

Over the years of the SystemsX.ch initiative, a great many interesting projects have been carried out. SystemsX.ch has decided to produce a documentary film to chronicle this wealth of research, which will be premiered at the 3rd International SystemsX.ch Conference in Zurich in September. Eavan Dorcey is overseeing the film project, in which a handful of very diverse projects will be portrayed, giving an overview of the Swiss Initiative in Systems Biology. The one hour long film, written by the science journalist Barbara Gallavotti, is being filmed at several institutions.

SystemsX.ch is sponsoring the International Conference on Systems Biology of Human Disease (SBHD) 2017, which will take place at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany, from July 5-7, 2017. We are offering free registration to 15 participants and up to 10 travel grants for students and postdocs of the SystemsX.ch network. If you are interested, send an email to eavan.dorcey(at)systemsx.ch by May 31. These free registrations and travel grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
