Hello everyone
As I will be out of the office for about three weeks starting next week and will only be available by email, I suggest that we arrange individual meetings instead of the group meeting. The following time slots are available on Wednesday and Thursday (Corina, I have already scheduled you—right after our meeting with Frieder):
Wednesday
10-11 Corina
11-12
13-14
14-15
15-16
16-17
Thursday
14-15
15-16
16-17
Please write in your name and answer to all.
Best, Kaspar

Dear all

Dear RSE community
Good news. We are happy to announce the first in person RSE meeting on
*5 June 2025* at *15:30 - 17:00* at the University of Bern in *H4 115
*(main building at Hochschulstrasse 4). There will be two presentations:
1. *BORIS Portal - Present your Research* by /Sumanghalyah Suntharam/.
BORIS Portal <https://boris-portal.unibe.ch/> links publications,
research data, projects and researchers at the University of Bern
together in an integrated system. As a research information system
and institutional repository, it increases the visibility and
transparency of scientific work.
2. *REDCap - Advantages and Limits* by /Muriel Helmers/ and /Flurina
Jenal/. Are you planning to collect structured data at multiple
locations? To conduct an online survey for your research project? Do
you need a secure database or data entry in multiple languages?
REDCap
<https://project-redcap.org/>
might be the right tool to check before writing your own programming
code. We will give you an introduction and live session to REDCap,
inform what services you can get for free at Uni Bern and what
documentation is available to you.
After the event there will be an *apero*, where the participants can
enjoy having a conversation in an informal atmosphere with a snack and a
drink.
Please register at the registration page
<https://www.dsl.unibe.ch/lab/rse_community/first_in_person_meeting_registra…>
and import the invitation (ICS file in the attachment) into your calendar.
Looking forward to see you there.
Cheers,
--

Dear all
Since our group will continue to grow in the near future (with two more PhDs in summer), I have decided to establish a second, more informal, forum alongside the seminar, so that we can meet as a group once a month. Main part of the meetings is that each of us shares key findings and challenges from the last month (as a starting point for deeper bilateral discussions and to promote collaboration by discussing intersections of our work). Beyond research, we will use this time to take care of planning and logistics and admin.
More info can be found here: Group_Meetings_25.docx<https://unibe365.sharepoint.com/:w:/t/unibe-588.az/ESpyXlfY0kNNs_I8Baz0Va4B…> (I hope the link works)
I have sent out invitations via the calendar — please reserve the following dates (it's not a problem at all if you can't make it on one or other of the dates):
April 9, 13-14
May 7, after seminar
June 11, 13-14
July 2, 13-14
August 13, 13-14
September 10, 13-14
October 15, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar)
November 12, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar)
December 10, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar)

Betreff: [sira-news] Beware of a Social Engineering Scam, targeted for Research Groups
Datum: 11. November 2024 um 08:32:37 MEZ
An: sira-news(a)list.inf.unibe.ch
Dear all,
last week our Department was subject to a sophisticated social engineering attack that successfully managed to hoax three employees. It resulted in the damage of several thousands CHF. Please warn your collaborators.
It starts by a semi-aggresively looking email with the subject "Urgent Action Required" sent on behalf of a PI, addressed to the first name of a collaborator:
Dear X
I'm contacting you to handle a short assignment right now. I would
welcome your support and urgency.
I hope you can help and look forward to your response.
Best Regards
Dr. Y
Head & Professor, Z Group, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
P.S: Send me your WhatsApp phone number
The scam exploits the power relationship between PhDs/PostDocs and their supervisor. The scammer carefully extracted all names and photos from our Web site, probably weeks ago, in order to create the following attack vector:
The collaborator, after sending back the phone number via email, will receive a contact request in WhatsApp where the photo of the PI is shown. In a clever dialogue, the collaborator is steered towards buying physical Apple Gift Cards whose validity is verified online, all while using WhatsApp. It goes without saying that the cards are redeemed immediately. Requests for talking on the phone are dismissed ("I'm busy and in a meeting right now").
Unfortunately, most email clients as well as WhatsApp, hide the true sender addresses and you only see the sender's Display Name. The email sender was <mimiadacharles(a)mail.com<mailto:mimiadacharles@mail.com>> and the phone number used behind WhatsApp is a German one.
Three grad students and Postdocs fell for the attack and, although hesitant, did not cross-verify because it would seem impolite to ask the supervisor "are your really X?", it would also introduce delay into the urgent request handling.
Thanks, Christian Tschudin
Hi!
I'm currently being flooded with requests for bachelor theses.
Please update the information on our website with your published works. Remove topics that have already been selected and add new topics instead. For example, you can offer unselected seminar topics as bachelor theses (other ideas are highly welcome).
Please send the necessary information directly to Anthony by the end of next week so that he can update the list.
Thanks!

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren der Bibliothekskommission Naturwissenschaften
Wie Ihr allenfalls bereits vernommen habt, führt die Universitätsbibliothek Bern (vgl. auch unsere Webseite: Universitätsbibliothek Bern UB<https://www.ub.unibe.ch/> und Flyer im Anhang) eine grosse Umfrage (BiblioSessment) bis am 17. November durch.
Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie in Ihren Instituten auf die Umfrage aufmerksam machen könnten und Institutsangehörige motivieren teilzunehmen. Alle Mitarbeitende und Studierende der UniBE haben dazu letzte Woche (22.10.) eine Email erhalten. Da wir die Umfrage mit einer externen Unternehmung, Empiricon, machen, bin ich nicht sicher, ob alle Institutsangehörige und Studierende diese Email von Empiricon wahrgenommen haben. Untenstehend habe ich Ihnen auch den Begleittext des Emails reinkopiert.
Die Umfrage bildet eine wichtige Grundlage für die Strategie 2026-2030 der UB. Dies ist daher eine einmalige Gelegenheit die Ausrichtung der Dienstleistungen der UB und der Bibliotheken der Naturwissenschaften zu beeinflussen.
Die Umfrage liegt in Deutsch und Englisch vor.
Der Link zur Umfrage: http://bib.unibe.ch/umfrage
Warum mitmachen - Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6CP_FyXKpY
Ich bedanke mich für Ihre wertvolle Unterstützung bei der Bekanntmachung der Umfrage und Motivation zur Teilnahme.
Freundliche Grüsse
Michelle Schaffer

Hi everybody
I am responsible that you are all up to date concerning the "emergency topics" at your work place. There are several new information after the renovation of Engehalde Areal (new escape ways, new gathering place, locations of the defibrillators etc.).
Therefore I have to execute a "Safety Tour" (it is mandatory) with the whole CRYPTO, LTG and PRG staff (and Maria and Alisson from CDS Group). I would prefer to have so many staff together as possible. Therefore please sign in what proposals in below scheduler fits you the best. The tour takes around 20 minutes. If no date fits to you, please contact me personally, then we will find an individual date. Please sign in until 20 th February 2023.
