Pint of Science festival events have been organised by PhD students from Cardiff University. We have speakers joining us from the School of Bioscience, School of Medicine, School of Social and Economics research, Swansea University and The University of South Wales!
Pint of Science provides a unique line up of talks, demonstrations and live experiments held in iconic bars across Cardiff. Topics range from: the science of distrust, Welsh discoveries, neuroscience, genetics, and the immune system!
Funded by Cardiff University's Doctoral Academy.
Let's take a trip down memory lane ... how can inflammation shape brain development?
Dr Laura Westacott (Research fellow, Cardiff University)
Join us as we share our research about how the immune system shapes the development of our brains, specifically those areas involved in memory and emotion. How is inflammation involved in these processes and how do our brains interact through synapses?
The science of Alzheimer's disease
Dr Sarah Carpanini (Dementia Research Institute, Cardiff University)
Discover how changes in immune system genes impact our brains. How does inflammation and the immune system lead to synapse loss and early changes in Alzheimer's Disease?
