Dec 3, 2024
This year's general assembly will take place (online) on December 3rd, 2024 at 10 a.m (Zoom link will be provided by e-mail in advance of the meeting). All CIDBN members and asscociates are cordially invited. We are looking forward to your participation!
guest lectures by Michael Gutnick
Nov 29, 2024 and Dec 2, 2024
“Scientific integrity in the era of fake news”
when: Nov 29, 2024 (12:00-14:00)
where: MPI-NAT City Campus, Herrmann-Rein-Str. 3, 37075 Göttingen, lecture hall
“Voltage and calcium oscillation in a network of gap-junction coupled pituitary cells controls hormone release”
when: Dec 2, 2024 (14:00-16:00)
where: MPI-NAT City Campus, Herrmann-Rein-Str. 3, 37075 Göttingen, room A00.50 (behind the library)
During his distinguished international research career, Prof. Michael Gutnick has trained generations of successful biomedical researchers and neuroscientists, worked on questions of research integrity and conduct in various leadership roles, including postgraduate training in research ethics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In his talk “Scientific integrity in the era of fake news” (Nov 29, 2024) he will discuss challenges to research integrity from an increasingly post-factual public sphere.
In his scientific work, Prof. Michael Gutnick produced pioneering works to various fields and levels of organization, from the first EEG on epileptic dogs in the 1960s to the discovery of non-linear dendritic signalling and slow sodium channel inactivation in cortical neurons. Directing his curiosity to the pituitary, he recently studied on a collective phenomenon in hormone-releasing cells, which he reports on in his talk “Voltage and calcium oscillation in a network of gap-junction coupled pituitary cells controls hormone release” (Dec 2, 2024).

HPC cluster name: Welcome to CIDBN, SOFJA!
May 20, 2022
During the last two weeks you could vote for your favorite HPC cluster name. On the short list we had three choices:
- Greca, Greca is a female given name in Italian, that could stand for (Gre)en computing at (Ca)mpus Institute
- Grete, in honour of Margarete Kahn, who studied Mathematics at Göttingen University (among others with David Hilbert, Felix Klein, and Georg Elias Müller) and Berlin University. 1909 she was one of the first women who obtained a PhD in Mathematics at Göttingen University. In 1942 Margarete Kahn was deported to Piaski (Lublin administrative district, Poland) and later murdered in the Holocaust.
- Sofja, in honour of Sofya Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya, who in 1874 was the second woman to obtain a doctoral degree in Göttingen (or the first one in a modern sense). In her dissertation she delt with partial differential equations by the way, which fits the modeling aspects of dynamical systems very well. In addition, it is noteworthy how Göttingen at that time showed flexibility in its rules to make the degree possible.
Now we have a result: Our cluster will be named SOFJA.
36 people took part in the election (while only 29 filled in the whole survey). We had 9 votes each for Greca and Grete and 11 for Sofja. So it was a close vote. Thank you to everyone who participated in the election!
Naming our HPC cluster: now it’s time to vote!
May 5, 2022
