Happy Birthday from the Third Infinity Team 🥳🧬🦙

We are happy to have Dr. Camilo Aponte-Santamaría from the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) as an alumnus speaker at the Third Infinity 2024! We are looking forward to the talk and exciting discussions!

Our keynote, Ulrike Feudel, will introduce us to critical transitions in dynamical systems and relate them to real-world phenomena in natural systems and ecology! You can attend the talk even without registration 😉

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who signed up for the Third Infinity this year! We're excited to talk science with you in October! 🧬

Superresolution Microscopy is a great tool to study dynamical structures in cells that are inaccessible to us otherwise. Jonas Ries will introduce us to some novel superresolution techniques and show the amazing cellular dynamics they studied with them!

Cells are inherently noisy systems, yet they exhibit highly organized and robust behavior. Matthias Weiss is investigating the relationship between these fluctuations and the fundamental signatures of life. You can eavesdrop on this talk even if you are not registered! 😉

We have a slight change in program! Unfortunately, Matthias Schmidt had to cancel his talk. At the same time we are happy to have Prof. Matthias Krüger from the University of Göttingen with an exciting talk on "Multi point observables for stochastic trajectories"!

As scientists, we often ask ourselves: "Will my research have an impact on society?" Jana Lasser will teach us in the closing talk that the skills we learn as physicists can be very useful in creating impact in many questions regarding the social sciences.

Stratocumulus clouds are important for cooling the planet. They unfortunately get broken up into smaller clouds with increasing surface temperature. George Datseris wants to understand when this transition happens and wether it possibly amplifies climate change.

Adaptation of tissue to its environment is a necessary mechanism of life and, at the same time, an interesting problem in statistical physics. Ana-Sunčana Smith will show us how the combination of biophysics and non-equilibrium statistical physics leads to interesting findings.

Many measurements in biological physics rely on noisy particle trajectories. Matthias Krüger will explain what we can learn from multi-point correlations of such trajectories. You can come to the talk even if you are not registered! 😉

ATP synthesis is a complex process, that relies on charge transport in membrane-bound protein complexes. Ville Kaila and his group tackle the problem of long range charge transport with computational approaches to gain a better understanding of the principles at play.

How do you communicate your science to a certain (non-scientific) audience? For all registered participants of the TI2024, we offer a workshop where Manuel Maidorn will teach you hands-on how to do exactly that! 😎🧬

Everything is set up for you! 😎 We are looking forward to start tomorrow with an exciting talk on tipping phenomena 🏞️➡️🔥 from our Keynote Ulrike Feudel and ending with a nice dinner at Kartoffelhaus 🥔 View the schedule and abstract booklet on thirdinfinity.mpg.de

We kicked off our conference yesterday with a wonderful Keynote talk from Ulrike Feudel who introduced us to critical phenomena and their application to environmental science!

After two fantastic talks from alumni of the IMPRS-PBCS, participants could ask their most pressing questions about life after the PhD in a Q&A session with Camilo Aponte-Santamaria, Thomas Lilienkamp, Jana Lasser and George Datseris!

We ended the second day of the conference with a relaxed poster session and many fascinating interactions!

Yesterday, we surprised our speakers with a visit to the Institute Alpacas! 🦙

We ended the conference with a fantastic talk of Jana Lasser on using physics know-how to make real societal impact. 🌐❤️ And congratulations to our winners of best talk (Hendrik Bruns), best poster (Maximilian Winkler) and best flash talk (Charlotte von Petersdorff-Campen) 🎉

What an incredible (and sometimes painful) journey it has been organizing this conference! 🎉 Seeing you enjoy the conference made it worth the effort! Thank you to everyone who attended and made this event truly special! 😊🦙 (pictures by Irene Boettcher-Gajewski)
