  • HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Massimiliano Bonomi: Structural and Dynamic Biology with Integrative Approaches

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

    By Massimiliano Bonomi, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which biological systems carry out their functions is often essential for the rational targeting of associated diseases. In many cases, determining the three- dimensional (3D) structure of these systems provides valuable insights. However, it is often the interplay between structural and dynamical properties […]

  • HITS Colloquium Raphael Hirschi: Predicting the Impact of Massive Stars in the Universe and how to Store Renewable Energy From the Sun on Earth

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

      By Raphael Hirschi, Klaus Tschira Guest Professor Astrophysics Research Centre, School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Keele University, UK   In this colloquium, I will start by briefly reviewing the importance of stars in the Universe. I will then discuss how we can re-create stars on computers using a range of simulations using a […]

  • The Future of NLP

  • HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium Rommie Amaro: Multiscale Computational Microscopy for In Situ Molecular Dynamics

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

      By Rommie Amaro, Endowed Chair, Distinguished Professorship in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, Department of Molecular Biology, UC San Diego, USA   Advances in multiscale computational microscopy are transforming our ability to visualize and understand biomolecular systems in their native contexts. In this talk, I will highlight recent progress in in situ molecular dynamics (MD), where […]

  • HITS Public Talk – Monika Mondal: The catch 22 of science & development

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

    by Monika Mondal, 2026 HITS Journalist in Residence   In the developing world, science is often presented as a ladder to social and economic upliftment. Like many Indians, Monika Mondal, trained as an engineer, climbed that ladder, only to realize that ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. Seeking a more meaningful path, she embarked […]

  • HITS Colloquium Alexander Mäder: Flooding the zone with AI – brauchen wir noch Menschen in der Wissenschaftskommunikation?

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

      By Alexander Mäder, Hochschule der Medien, Stuttgart   Flooding the zone with AI? The role of humans in science communication While AI-generated content is getting better and better, communication experts wonder what jobs will be left for them in the end. They can't be sure that there's a limit to what AI can do. […]
