Science on Tap 2025: Experience research in Hamburg's pubs

Talks by Prof. Marcus Altfeld & Prof. Kay Grünewald

Listening to the latest scientific findings with a drink in your hand? Chatting at the bar with researchers about their current projects? In short: Going out in the evening and learning something at the same time? All this is free of charge on June 12, 2025 from 8 p.m. at the Wissen vom Fass (Science on Tap) event series in Hamburg's pubs!

The LIV is part of it (the talks are in German):

Prof. Marcus Altfeld speaks at the Windschirm Bar on the subject of Men's Colds - Fairy Tale or Truth?:

Our immune system protects us from infections. Scientific findings increasingly indicate that the immune system's response to infections may differ between women and men. For example, the immune system reacts more strongly against pathogens in women, which can lead to infections being eliminated more quickly. So is there really something to the infamous male cold?

Prof. Kay Grünewald is coming to the Mathilde Bar Eimsbüttel together with Dr. Jan Hellert and Märit-Runa Jönsson. The topic of their lecture is Making a Cellfie - by Nature Photographers with High-Tech Magnifying Glasses:

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, which allows us to look far beyond the limits of light down to individual molecules of life, we investigate the detailed structure of body cells. A particular focus is on the three-dimensional “photography” of viruses as they attack human cells in order to gain a better understanding of how they function.
