In this episode of the Offspring Podcast, we feature Irene Domenici from the General Meeting working group, Andrea Seiwert from the Secretary Group and also the two hosts of this podcast Srinath and Niko for their roles as coordinators of Offspring Magazine and Open Science working groups respectively. We discuss how they work within the PhDnet and highlight the important and specific tasks they each perform.  


We also highlight the importance of Networking, and Communication.  As PhDnet forming this network of peers to discuss and solve issues which are common to all PhDs of the Max Planck Society, we aim to promote the collaboration and communication as much as possible and we hope to meet you at the General Meeting from November 4th to 6th 2020. 


These episodes are a part of a series which aim to shed light on the various roles in the Steering Groups and the roles of the Working Groups within the PhDnet which enable the body to function.
