From Pain to Suffering: Determining the Driving Factors of Burden and Disability in Chronic Pain
Festsaal, Luisenstr. 56, 10117 Berlin
Chronic pain is one of the most prevalent and disabling conditions worldwide. Despite the devastating impact that chronic pain can have in limiting quality of life, we still have not yet been able to provide effective strategies to alleviate its burdens and understand its nature from a scientific perspective. However, mounting evidence substantiates that persistent or recurrent pain does not neatly correspond to the suffering that accompanies it. Therefore, a promising strategy for future research is to focus less on the pain and more on the aspect of suffering itself. The aim of the proposed conference is to motivate this shift in debate, both theoretically and practically, and to prepare the ground to better understand the driving factors of the burden and disability in chronic pain. Addressing this challenge is a genuine interdisciplinary endeavour bringing together philosophers, quantitative and qualitative researchers, as well as clinical practitioners.
Three days filled with symposia and discussions around all things related to synapses. The 9th ESM will be hosted by Campus Buch, home to the Leibniz-Forschungs-institut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) and the Max Delbrück Center (MDC). Find out more and register here!
Thursday Morning Talk: Joshua B. Evans, “Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning”
MAR 2.057
What is a useful skill hierarchy for an autonomous agent? In this talk, we will consider a possible answer based on a graphical representation of how the interaction between an agent and its environment may unfold. The proposed approach uses modularity maximisation as a central organising principle to expose the structure of the interaction graph at multiple levels of abstraction. The result is a collection of skills that operate at varying time scales, organised into a hierarchy, where skills that operate over longer time scales are composed of skills that operate over shorter time scales. The entire skill hierarchy is generated automatically, with no human intervention, including the skills themselves (their behaviour, when they can be called, and when they terminate) as well as the hierarchical dependency structure between them. In a wide range of environments, this approach generates skill hierarchies that are intuitively appealing and that considerably improve the learning performance agents given access to them.
Take the opportunity to regularly (every Thursday) devote time to your writing projects among peers. Write on your project in a group, alone or in tandems. An expert will be present for some time slots to answer questions and provide brief one-on-one consultations.

BEMC: "Causal confusions correlate with casual conclusions”
Paul Ehrlich Hörsaal (Campus Charité Mitte) or online (Virchowweg 4)
Julia Rohrer from Leipzig University will give a talk entitled "Causal confusions correlate with casual conclusions” "Correlation does not imply causation; some fields of research have taken this as a reason to teach causal inference primarily in the context of randomized experiments. This has led to some confusion about, for example, the purpose of prediction, and the utility of longitudinal data. In this talk, I will suggest that some of this may be strategic: Being ambiguous about the purpose of an analysis can be a way to have your cake and eat it too. I will discuss potential countermeasures, such as restructuring methods training and requiring transparency about estimands on the journal level." Registration for in-person attendance; Registration for remote attendance via Zoom.

Intuitively, you probably know more about yourself and others than you are aware of. Intuition can guide your decision making – but how to reconcile it with more analytic decision-making approaches? This course invites you to deliberately and critically explore your intuition, test new decision-making tools and share your experiences with other course participants. Being aware of your intuition is likely to help you in taking good private and professional decisions. Taking good decisions will save you energy, get you where you want to be and boost your motivation. During your work as a Postdoc, you may need to make difficult life choices, decide on a career path, and re-think the modes of your collegial interactions. Do you sometimes struggle with taking decisions or with finding the right mode of interaction? Would you like to change something, but you do not know how? Then this course is for you.

Academic Choices – Non Academic Choices: Deciding between the two
online
In the years after completing their doctorate, many doctoral graduates are faced with the question of whether they want to stay in academia or whether they want to pursue a career outside academia. The question is not an easy one, especially because there are very few permanent positions available in academia in the long term. How can postdocs make a good decision here? What skills are in demand inside and outside academia? What can help to assess the prospects of success as realistically as possible? In this short online workshop, we will explore these questions and develop initial hypotheses against the background of the participants’ individual situations.

Karrierestrategien auf dem Weg zur Professur: (Zukunfts- und) Karriereplanung für Postdocs
ZEWK TU Berlin, Fraunhofer Str. 33-36, 10587 Berlin, Raum FH 1004
Wer nach der Promotion den Weg der Wissenschaftskarriere weiterverfolgt, steht immer wieder vor der Frage: In der Wissenschaft bleiben oder gehen? In der Postdoc Phase ist es besonders wichtig, auch früh Karriere relevante Entscheidungen zu treffen, um eigene Weichen auf dem weiteren Weg zur Professur oder/für alternative Karrierewege innerhalb oder außerhalb des Hochschulsystems zu stellen. (Zukunfts- und) Karriereplanung ist dabei hilfreich, die eigene Vision einer auch künftig zufriedenstellenden Arbeit (weiter) zu entwickeln, die eigenen Stärken und Wünsche zu fokussieren, um die anstehenden Entscheidungen oder sich zufällig ergebende beruflichen Optionen selbstreflektierter und zielbewusster einzuschätzen. Ein durchdachter Karriereplan unterstützt Postdocs auch, motiviert die anstehenden Herausforderungen, ihre wissenschaftliche Profilierung und Hürden zu managen und dabei die eigene Gesundheit und Life-Work-Balance nicht außer Acht zu lassen.
