  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • Make & Measure in Analytical Sciences 2018
    MAKE & MEASURE IN ANALYTICAL SCIENCES 2018 BOOK OF INFORMATION October 8th–12th, 2018 School of Analytical Sciences Adlershof www.salsa.hu-berlin.de WELCOME Dear participants of the SALSA Make and Measure, It is our great pleasure to welcome all of you to our Make and Measure 2018 here at SALSA, the Graduate School of Analytical Sciences Adlershof! We hope that all of you are now looking forward to four days filled with new insights into analytical sciences, inspiring discussions, and enjoyable social events. The theme Make and Measure is a major guiding topic in the area of Analytical Sciences and in SALSA as well. Specifically, it is a prerequisite for understanding the function and dynamics of complex systems in chemistry, biology and materials sciences on the atomic and molecular scale. A synergistic and interdisciplinary integration of making new selective and sensitive chemical structures and designing new instruments and principles to measure will advance our comprehension of chemical systems, and their changes. In their work, analytical scientists, amongst them many of SALSA’s fellows, have been working on making measurable what has not been before e.g., by designing new sensing structures and probes. Being able to combine different synthesis and detection approaches and to comprehend the underlying physico-chemical principles will help to solve future problems in many areas, such as biodiagnostics, proteomics, and chemical imaging. Following the idea of our multidisciplinary graduate school, the Make and Measure brings together young researchers from different backgrounds to generate a creative and interactive learning environment. In the tutorials, you will discuss with renowned international guests about their research.

  • Final Thesis
    Laura Cavanagh’s Integrative Project Thesis As is often the case with travel, people look back on their trips through rose-colored glasses, focusing on the positive experiences and forgetting the negative ones. While I too am guilty of coloring my memories of a place and falsely placing every moment in a favorable light, for my integrative project I forced myself to remember both the good and bad times I had in Berlin, Germany. These experiences—sharing a traditional German meal of eggs in a mustard sauce (complete with cheap Prosecco) with my roommate; going to a Columbian restaurant to watch a German Fußball, or soccer, game during the World Cup; visiting world-renowned museums on Thursday nights; being sniffed by a homeless man; getting lost on a return walk home from work; running home from a movie in the park through buckets of freezing rain— coalesce to form my own Berlin. These visual and sensory experiences conjure up a place in my mind that is somewhat of a hybrid of my physical orientation and my mental state of being there. So much of being in Berlin was about orienting myself within the city and navigating where I was going and how I would get there. This in itself brought about varying degrees of disbelief, awe, anxiety and stupor. Using a map as my project format serves as a helpful tool for me to organize this space I have built in my memory. In my map I attempt to reincarnate this memory into elaborate paper forms that occupy a real space.

  • 100,000 People Gather at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin to Celebrate the Fall of the Wall
    Berlin, 9th November 2019 100,000 people gather at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Wall The emotional highpoint of the week-long festival marking the “30th Anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution – Fall of the Berlin Wall” took place this evening at a stage set up at the Brandenburg Gate. Over the evening more than 100,000 visitors gathered at the symbolic Berlin landmark – joined by millions of viewers watching on screens around the world – to commemorate the fall of the Wall, one of the most important events in the history of the capital, but also for Germany and Europe. The two-hour multi-media spectacle featured musical acts, theatre performances, a light show as well as testimonies from witnesses to the historical events themselves. The event told the dramatic story of the quest for freedom during the Peaceful Revolution as well as a number of artistic contributions and statements on the themes of courage and the yearning for liberty, thereby taking up a contemporary perspective on the events. Berlin’s Governing Mayor, Michael Müller, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Marianne Birthler gave welcome speeches. The GDR-born musicians Dirk Michaelis and Die Zöllner got the programme underway, and the orchestra of the Berlin State Opera - Staatskapelle Berlin under the baton of Daniel Barenboim played Beethoven’s 5th symphony accompanied by historical images and film footage extending from the building of the Wall and the era of East vs. West Germany all the way to the fall of the Wall in 1989. Anna Loos, Trettmann and Zugezogen Maskulin were among the other musical artists who performed against the backdrop of the massive video dome projection space.
