The BioArt Forum will continue in the summer semester with an irregular series of workshops and lectures designed to provide students with knowledge that cannot be taught in regular courses. The list of workshops was proposed by Bauhaus University students and faculty and is intended to raise awareness of living organisms. The workshops include both theoretical and practical exercises to understand the functioning of organisms and their sensory system. Students will learn to examine microorganisms as they look at them, and to build and use simple tools to grow and analyze organisms. | |||
The BioArt form is designed to allow participation as needed. Registration for the module is not needed but it will guarantee a place. Students will receive ECTS for attending two workshops, documenting them, and developing ideas for future projects. | |||
The workshops will be delivered by international scholars and artists. For more information, please see the announcements and/or attend the introductory session during the first week of the semester. | |||

*[[/Lichens workshop]] Nov 12 and Nov 13, 2022 | |||
Dr. Jan Vondrak will do at least two special walks/excursions with us and we will look at the biodiversity of lichens in Weimar/Thuringia and learn about the ecophysiology of lichens in an urban (industrial ruins) and a semi-natural area (i.e. castle and landscape park Belvedere). In the biolab we will examine lichen samples microscopically and perform simple investigations on specific lichen substances. Jan Vondrak will also tell us about his research and about phylogenetic analyses and the special problems of identification and classification of lichens. Importance of lichen growth for air and climate studies, to what extent do these special mixed creatures contribute to the fixation of CO2 and nitrogen oxides and are important components of the biocrust of our world. | Dr. Jan Vondrak will do at least two special walks/excursions with us and we will look at the biodiversity of lichens in Weimar/Thuringia and learn about the ecophysiology of lichens in an urban (industrial ruins) and a semi-natural area (i.e. castle and landscape park Belvedere).

*[[/Biofims workshop]] Nov 19 and Nov 28, 2022 | |||
The workshop is about understanding the role of the smallest living things we know in our global fabric. Why are bacteria important? What can they do and what is their importance for us? We want to work this out together, with lectures and practical experiments. | |||

* [[/Endophyte Club]] Dec 2 and Dec 3, 2022 | |||
At the Endophyte Club (RECC) biological hobbyists meet to identify, discover, discuss and trade information about new, rare and hard to access microorganisms. The race is on: who will get to unlock, collect and share the secrets of the microbiome era? | At the Endophyte Club (RECC) biological hobbyists meet to identify, discover, discuss and trade information about new, rare and hard to access microorganisms.

* [[/Hacking Pocket Science Lab]] Jan 28 (10.00-16.00) and Jan 29 (11.00-13.00), 2023 | |||
Our vision with Pocket Science Lab (PSLab) is to miniaturize laboratories and make scientific instruments accessible for everyone. There are a lot of problems in the world from environmental problems, to daily challenges in our personal lives, to challenges we face in work life. In order to solve these problems we need to understand the world around us. Open Source labs that are small and accessible enable us to do our own experiments and collect our own independent data to do just that. We can also verify official data, e.g. air quality, by doing our own measurements using sensors. Or, use the out of the box tools for measurements of electronics devices and components to ensure they work as expected. | |||
