Statistics Insights
from Christian Zerfaß
In this session, we will look into the idea of using statistics to validate our data. We will discuss the fundamental insights that statistics are able to give us, the limits of interpretation, and common pitfalls in statistical data analysis. We will also take a glimpse into uni- vs. multivariate analysis tools, which data they apply to, and the information they can provide us on our data structure.

Miriam Agler-Rosenbaum, Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, Hans Knöll Institute Jena, Bio Pilot Plant
Matt Agler, Friedrich Schiller University, Research group Plant Microbiosis
Combining a successful scientific career with a lively and centered family life is well possible… it just takes a little bit of planning. We would like to share our experience and discuss questions like:
- When is a good time to have kids?
- How to organize your work before parental leave?
- Parental leave for how long and working part-time during parental leave?
- Going back to work: Was it difficult to leave the kids and to reincorporate in the lab?
- Was the road to become group leader/professor somehow delayed?
- In practical terms, how did we manage it? Division of tasks and "roles"?
- Who supported us? Family, tutors, the system..?
- … any questions you bring to us during this rather informal workshop discussion….
