Brief presentations from four lecturers on their courses, with possibility to ask questions and discuss:

* Statistics for nanoscience experiments - Georg Lindgren

* Measurement Techniques - Erik Lind

* Advanced Quantum Mechanics - Ingemar Ragnarsson

* Atomtronics/Bose-Einstein condensation - Peter Schlagheck

Some information about the summerschool 2009. Preliminary title, time and place is "Quantum mechanics for modern devices", 24-27 august, at Hotell Strandbaden in Falkenberg.

Information about newly suggested student seminars, intended to increase communication and share knowledge between students in different research groups. (by Nicklas Anttu and Karla Hillerich)

Also: If we can have a short course (~few days), do we want "Media-training" or "Writing research proposals" this year?

"Opportunities for physicists in the financial sector: Where do we fit?"

Most companies in the financial sector utilizes models in their everyday operations. Many of these models are inspired by physics. Still, most managers in these companies have very little knowlege of such models and who are suitable to develop and maintain them. This talk will discuss where in the financial sector that physicists can be of use. Specifically I will talk about the situation at SimCorp and how they utilize PhD's.

"Anthropological reflections on the culture of the nanoscientist"

Mikael Johansson has conducted a yearlong anthropological fieldwork among nanoscientists at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. The aim of his research is to explore cosmological notions among this group of researchers through their conceptualization of nature and self. Of importance is the renunciation of culture within the community of nanoscientists, a renunciation which is best describes as 'a culture of no culture.' A concept which is used to describe the emphasized objectivity in research and how the scientists perceive themselves as free from preconceptions when conducting research. For the scientists cultural expressions such as nationality, gender and religion are, in accordance, considered irrelevant for conducting research. For conducting research a 'raw' individual is envisaged who should have as few connections to civil society as possible.
