Welcome to the second year of Pint of Science Gothenburg! We are excited to continue at Pitcher's Majorna with three nights of exciting science talks and pub quizzes. Each night, two researchers from biology, astronomy, psychology, and more, will share their stories and insights in a casual setting. You can also win fun prizes in our scientific quizzes. Tonight, we feature two diverse talks covering the history of biology in society, as well as modern advanced techniques!

Biotechnology´s ancient tool: Fermentation. History, successes and future potential!
Veronica Bonzanini
(PhD Student)
In this talk, you'll get an easy-to-understand introduction to fermentation and its foundations. We'll take a journey through history to explore how early humans first used fermentation, leading up to the successful products of today. Finally, we'll peek into potential future applications and highlight some of today's cutting-edge research that can shape the future.
Adventures in the Nanoscale: Neutrons and nanomedicine
Jennifer Gilbert
(Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Life Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology)
Margaret Holme
(Assistant Professor)
Presented by Jen with a live call from Maggie at the synchrotron!
In this talk, we’ll take you on an adventure down to the nanoscale, even smaller than you can see with visible light. Instead, you can use x-rays and neutrons, a type of sub-atomic particle, to study the size, shape and structure of samples, where the features you are interested in are 1000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. But producing x-rays and neutrons is no easy task! We’ll take you on a live tour of one of the instruments at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Facility, which uses a particle accelerator to produce their neutrons. Next, we’ll explain how we use neutrons to study the structures formed by lipids, one of the building blocks of your cell membrane, and finally describe the applications of lipids in state-of-the-art medicines and research.
