Follow-up report on Young Scientist Breakfast 2019

In the context of the annual symposium organized by the National Research Platform for Zoonoses, scientists at various career stages meet in Berlin every autumn. The symposium is intended not only to promote interdisciplinary dialogue within the community, but also to facilitate active networking among young scientists and with "senior scientists". To support this, the Young Scientist Breakfast was again held in 2019 on the last morning of the International Symposium on Zoonoses Research. On the last day, twenty young scientists had the opportunity to ask questions of four established Senior

Follow-up report Zoonoses 2019 - International Symposium on Zoonoses Research

International Symposium on Zoonoses Research with a focus on "Neglected Tropical Diseases" (NTDs) brings together over 400 scientists from all over the world in Berlin Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are infectious diseases that occur mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. According to the WHO, population groups primarily affected include those living in poverty, lacking access to adequate sanitation or living in close contact with animals. Globalisation and climate change are dramatically changing the potential danger posed by these often zoonotic diseases. In this

Stepping stone to an academic career in Virology

Due to current developments concerning the Coronavirus-Pandemic the event is cancelled. We hope to reschedule it to a later timepoint. The second ACHIEVE Spring School of the Virological Society in Berlin will take place on 23 rd and 24 th March 2020. This year's event is being organised jointly with the German Research Platform for Zoonoses. The motto "learning from each other - growing together" is the main focus and the workshop will deal with the topic "professional development". Experts will share experiences and give tips: How to write the perfect paper? What makes a good application

The JSZM and Corona Even though German policymakers have adopted initial easing of restrictions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still confronted with a very dynamic infection situation and the crisis has not yet been overcome. For this reason we have decided to hold this year's Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting online. The Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) 2020 which which was originally planned to take place at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI) in Leipzig from June 4 th to June 5 th 2020 is now going to be an online event. The meeting is designed to

Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting 2020 – the online premiere

The first Junior Scientist Zoonoses Meeting (JSZM) took place in 2013. Over the following years, it developed into an established annual event for young researchers in the zoonoses research community. It is a forum for young scientists to exchange information, train their own expertise and build their own network. The designed venue for the meeting in 2020 was the Fraunhofer-Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology in Leipzig. Everything was prepared and ready. The program was finalised, the guest speakers invited, the poster walls ordered and the catering menu set. But then, SARS-CoV-2

Scientific integrity – indispensable even in times of crisis

Researchers in Germany are required to follow the rules of "good scientific practice" in their work. These rules are an important quality assurance tool, which also aim to ensure smooth cooperation between scientists and define common rules of conduct. In Germany, the " Ombudsman for Science " committee set up by the DFG acts as a central advisory body for all scientists and academics conducting research in Germany on questions and conflicts related to good scientific practice. Dr. Czesnick is the head of the committee's office. We asked her some questions about the work of the committee and

Science communication is more than explaining

Science communication is an important part of research. Without it, the transfer of new findings from research into practice would not be possible. Especially in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, it is clear how important "good" science communication is and that it can be much more complex than many initially assume. "It is not just a matter of explaining what a virus is. It is much more than that," says Prof. Dr. Leßmöllmann . She is professor of science communication with a focus on linguistics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Prior to that, she was Professor of Journalism

The impact of the pandemic on research quality and science communication

The coronavirus pandemic affects all parts of society regardless of factors such as age, gender or social status. Much is still uncertain about SARS-CoV-2, the disease COVID-19 and the impact of the pandemic on the economy and society. As a result, the attention currently devoted to research is immense. Hopes are high that soon results will be available that are applicable in practice immediately. Science is trying to meet the demand and is working at an enormous speed. Consequently, the world is flooded daily with a multitude of new scientific publications. The questions that arise are to

Susceptibility of animals to SARS-CoV-2

Scientists answer questions about their study results in different animal species More than 60% of all emerging infectious diseases in humans are caused by pathogens of zoonotic origin, i.e. pathogens that originate from animals [1]. A zoonotic origin is also probable for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. However, the rapid spread of COVID-19 throughout the world is characterised by human-to-human transmission. However, two questions remain unclear: 1. From which animal was the pathogen originally transmitted to humans? 2. Can other animals in the vicinity of humans, such as farm animals, be

Zoonoses 2020 – together in Berlin thanks to digital technology

For more than 10 years the Symposium of the German Research Platform for Zoonoses is an established date in the calendars of zoonoses researchers in Germany and beyond. For 2020 the program was already fixed, and the venue site booked. First signs that this year would be different already occurred during a meeting of the office sites of the platform in the beginning of January. The meeting was occasionally interrupted by phone calls. The topic: The new coronavirus in Wuhan, China. However, at that timepoint it was still unclear whether we were standing at the edge of a pandemic. A few month
