Coordinator: Konrad Hinsen (CNRS, Synchrotron Soleil)
This interactive workgroup aims to offer the opportunity for students to share experience on the programming and computing issues they face and receive mutual support as well as input from senior researchers experienced with simulation computation. This collaborative workgroup on scientific computing and visualization proposes to operate:
- A forum page on a collaborative web platform (e.g. moodle) to gather the participants' problems, questions, successful as well as failed experiences, etc...related with computation and computer visualization. This aims to identify experience and difficulties faced by participants on these issues and be a platform to get help and mutual advice.
- Forum moderation, specific advice, reading suggestions and support is provided by the module coordinator and possibly other experienced researchers. Specific meetings, work sessions or practical sessions on give programming and computational techniques will be organized on topics called by sufficient interested people.
Cours d'anglais par internet personnalisés / Personalized online English course
http://www.gymglish.fr
GymGlish propose des cours d'anglais innovants et ludiques, fondés sur un moteur d'intelligence artificielle qui délivre chaque jour un email d'activités linguistiques personnalisées en anglais, suivi de corrections.
GymGlish provides personalized English lessons through daily e-mails. In each lesson, you follow the adventures of the Delavigne Corporation in San Francisco: full of humor, business English, and with a wide variety of accents.
Each morning, you receive an e-mail in English with a variety of written and audio exercises. GymGlish lessons take 10 minutes to complete, and include a story from the Delavigne Corporation, dialogues to listen to, questions to answer, 'mini-lessons', and a personalized revision program.
Once you have sent your answers, you will receive a marked correction e-mail with your score for the day's lesson, personalized explanations, the English vocabulary you have requested to learn more about, the scripts for the audio files, etc.
Mediators: Samuel Bottani (Paris Diderot), François Taddei (Paris Descartes, INSERM), Ariel Lindner (Paris Descartes, INSERM)
Special guests: Stéphane Douday (CNRS/ University Paris Diderot), Suzannah Rutherford (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle), Miroslav Radman (Necker, Université Paris 5).
The workshop, set in Sèvres (near Paris), intends to assemble free spirited students and researchers from broad scientific backgrounds to conceive creative projects at the interface with Life Sciences.
This year will combine newcomer students of the FdV PhD program, 2nd year AIV master program and will host students of the new Licence FdV program on Friday.
The CIRP workshop attempts to provide the primary basis for collegiality and communication through dialogue and brainstorming on open questions in Life Sciences.
Aims of the CIRP workshop:
- To be able to focus on an important scientific question and to define the means to approach it from different disciplines
- To be able to zoom out (have a broader view) and zoom in (be precise and define the key experiments)
- To think and express your ideas more clearly.
- To gain confidence in your ideas.
- To be able to discuss, reject or accept ideas.
- To learn to take constructive scientific criticisms
- To learn how to write a research proposal.
- To discuss scientific questions thoroughly.
- To learn to interact with people from different backgrounds.
The workshop is mandatory for Master 2 AIV and first year FdV PhD students.
