From fleeting moments in nature to the unseen dialogue between gut and brain, the transformative life stages of marine organisms, and the contributions of citizen science, these presentations explore the subtle, often overlooked connections that shape life. Together, they reveal how perception, biological processes, and collective engagement intertwine—inviting us to rethink the complexity and wonder embedded in both our bodies and the natural world.What’s on the menu? 🎤
🧠 When the Gut Talks Back: How Your Stomach Influences Your Brain - Marit te Walvaart (Nord University)
It's not just a "gut feeling"—your stomach actually communicates with your brain. Marit explores how this dialogue affects everything from immunity to mental health, and how zebrafish are helping us understand the link between diet and diseases like Alzheimer's.
🐚 Meroplankton: The shapeshifters of the sea - Sofia Amieva Mau (Nord University)
You know what a sea star looks like, but have you ever seen its larva? Sofia introduces us to the alien-like "babies" of the marine world—spiky, rectangular, and teardrop-shaped creatures that go through incredible metamorphoses before they become the sea life we recognize.
📸 Filling the gaps: The power of citizen science - Amy Leigh Mackintosh (Nord University)
Science is expensive and time-consuming, but your smartphone can help! Amy explains the growing movement of "citizen science," showing how your wildlife photos provide vital data that helps researchers track species and understand environmental change.
🌲 A sense of wonder – why some nature encounters matter -
Hanna Bjørgaas (Nord University)
Why do certain moments in nature stay with us for a lifetime? Hanna explores the science of "wonder"—how specific encounters with the natural world shape our memories, curiosity, and senses, particularly during childhood.
