15 minutes about Optogenetics - Evgeny Resnik

16.11.2017, Munich

Our brain processes information from the surrounding world and drives our emotions and behavior. Despite many years of research we still lack understanding how billions of neurons work together to enable this driving function. This lack of knowledge is to a large extent due to our limited ability to control activity of individual neurons. Optogenetics, a new technique capable of controlling the brain with light, has revolutionized neuroscience and opens new ways to treat neurological disorders in humans.

15 minutes about Gaps in Physics - Graham Jones

26.10.2017, Munich

The physics of the very small gives us the weird world of quantum mechanics, the physics of the very big gives us the weird world of relativity and time dilation. But in between them there is a gap, a huge gap in our knowledge. If the models are not wrong, then at least we know they are not complete. Will discuss some weirdness, and look into the gaps.

15 minutes about the Beauty of Science - Adeel Yawar Jamil

23.06.2017, Munich

Poets often rhyme about the universe floating in a glass of wine. Is there any truth to this claim or is it just poets talking after few glasses of wine? Deriving from a famous lecture by Richard Feynman, Adeel will show that if we ponder long enough - perhaps after having a glass or two - universe does indeed reveal itself in a glass of wine; and this way of understanding the world and its beauty through the lens of science is as romantic and mysterious as any other human experience.
