During my time as a researcher at the division of synchrotron radiation research at Lund University I got the opportunity to design a phd student course for the ADMIRE research school. The course was conceptualized as a ring lecture in which specialists for various microscopy and imaging techniques in Lund give an overview of a specific technique. I enjoyed it a lot to get in contact with the different people and organizing the lectures and lab visits. Even two lectures and a tour at the MAXIV laboratory were included in the course.
I took over the lecture on scanning probe techniques (STM/AFM) and you can see the broad spectrum of techniques covered on the advert poster I made below.
The final examination for the course was the task to write a short research proposal, like a beamtime proposal for a synchrotron, for a technique covered in the course but not used before. Each student had to review two of the proposals. This worked very well and I was very happy with the quality and outcome of this.
Unfortunately, with the end of my employment, so ended the lecture. I had hoped that this lecture could live on but there was noone taking over. The sad reality in academia where sustainable planing is not a strength.
