A team of KIT students participated at the Explore Science fair in Mannheim (June 12-16). Their contribution, developed in a course project supervised by our group, is a game in which players build a dam in order to insure themselves against random amounts of water. The game was very well received, with many players eager to beat the high score. Thanks to our students for this great effort!

Johannes Bracher has been accepted into the Emmy Noether Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG). Starting in 2023, he will set up a junior research group at KIT that will conduct research at the interface between statistics and epidemiology. The focus is on the development of statistical methods for real-time analysis of data from infectious disease surveillance.
