7th SFB retreat in Bad Schandau (September 2021)
Members of the SFB/TRR 102 met for the 7th retreat in Bad Schandau from September 13-15, 2021. Young researchers from the SFB presented their new scientific results and our invited speaker Ulrich Schubert (University of Jena) talked about supramolecular interactions in polymers. During the presentations in the evening, we learned and discussed about circular plastics (Rupert Schnell, Evonik) and gender in physics (Tomas Brage, Lund University). There was also time for informal exchange during our hiking tours.

American undergrad student visits Halle for a summer internship
Aaron Miller, from Seattle, was an intern in the polymer physics group in Halle (Saale) from July – September 2021. He is a physics undergraduate student from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA) and he was awarded the RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) internship program from the DAAD. Aaron decided to join the project offered from Yu Qiang (group of Prof. T. Thurn-Albrecht) and fortunately, the travel restrictions were removed shortly before the internship. During his 3 month-stay, Aaron worked with Yu on the crystallization of polyesters with different experimental techniques, as well as collaborated with other groups and presented his results. He also used his time in Germany to improve his German language skill and to travel and make connections across Germany. Aaron is now completing his B. Sc. in physics back in Seattle while performing neuroscience research, and he hopes to return to Germany in the future for research or potentially graduate study.
