On March 9, 2019, scientists from the city of Dresden were honored with the Dresden Excellence Award. I am pleased that people are appreciated, and not buildings or projects are at the forefront, as I wished it in my post perspective academia.
Amazed, I look at portraits of people, while thanks are given to the necessary financial supporters on the wavering stage. A special thanks to the photographers for the sensitive masterpieces of portrait photography on a wide range of subjects! Special thanks also go to the craftsmanship of the photo laboratories, which brought the digital works … Continue reading Portraits – Images of People

As these very large, hyper-solvent, and few single fortunes exert a strong controlling force, I see a need for a democratic state to counteract this financial imbalance. A democracy is based on equal rights and has … Continue reading Utilize our wealth together

I now hope for a new quality and cultured sound in Dresden. Moment Monument. It stood like a triptych outside the Frauenkirche. The moment has passed again. Behind it … Continue reading Moment in Dresden

Besides the written form and a structured oral form—such as a talk or a lecture—informal personal communication is another common way to exchange ideas. Good communication within the scientific community also helps to be well integrated. … Continue reading Networking by personal communication

Around a quarter of a million people went onto the streets in Germany in September 2016 to demonstrate against free trade agreements.
