Taking the fear out of quantum physics

University of Texas at Arlington
Meeting Announcement

Just the word “quantum” can make even seasoned science teachers break into a sweat. But a national pilot program led by The University of Texas at Arlington is helping take the mystery out of the subject for students and educators alike. This week, 50 high school students and science teachers gathered at Arlington Martin High School to dive into the topic through Quantum for All, a program launched by Karen Jo Matsler, a professor of practice and master teacher in UT Arlington’s UTeach program.

Frontiers Forum Deep Dive series: New gene therapy delivery device could let hospitals create personalized nanomedicines on-demand

Frontiers
Meeting Announcement

Rare diseases affect millions worldwide, yet the one-size-fits-all model of drug development leaves patients with few treatment options. Now a European research project called NANOSPRESSO aims to tip the balance in patients’ favor by boosting access to low-cost bespoke gene and RNA therapies.

AUTOPSIES: Modes of counter-investigation

Goethe University Frankfurt
Meeting Announcement

How do we critically engage archives of colonial, historical, political, and racial violence? What modes of counter investigation might be employed? Researchers from Forensic Architecture (London), the project “The Art of Counter-Investigation” (Institute for Social Research, Frankfurt), and the fields of media and film studies will discuss the challenges of archival investigation in the contexts of colonial and political violence. Questions include forensic methods of investigation and counter investigation, aesthetic practices of engaging archives, issues of restitution and reparation, acts of erasure, silencing, and epistemic violence.

Toxic Metals Symposium – Health Impacts and Policy Responses

LMU Klinikum
Meeting Announcement

Toxic metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium pose a significant health hazard worldwide, particularly in countries with mining, industrial processing, and inadequate regulation. The topic is also gaining further importance in the course of the energy transition and the shift to renewable energies as well as e-mobility through the extraction of rare metals.

The first “SpongeBooster of the Year” award celebrates efforts in wetland restoration

Pensoft Publishers
Meeting Announcement

Over recent centuries, the intensification of land use has caused the loss of natural sponge functions in landscapes. River straightening, bank stabilisation and embankments disrupt the natural exchange of water with the floodplains, which not only absorb and slowly release water during droughts but also provide diverse habitats, nature-based flood protection, and valuable recreational areas. Restoring wetlands is vital in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises.

The "SpongeBoost" project supports policy-making, restoration, and land-use planning, promoting cost-effective, nature-based solutions that align with EU Climate Adaptation goals. With the establishment of the “SpongeBooster of the Year” award, the project aimed to spread recognition for those committed to restoring sponge landscapes, assessed not only on implementation but also on public relations, environmental education, and regional cooperation.

Using knowledge to combat health risks

BfR Federal Institute for Risk Assessment
Meeting Announcement

“From expert to expert” - this is the motto of the 13th round of the BfR Summer Academy. From 30 June to 11 July 2025, the 23 participants of the courses in Berlin will be focusing on the topics of food safety and risk assessment: How is the legal and institutional background of food safety regulated in Germany and Europe? What characterises a well-founded risk assessment? And what needs to be considered when communicating health risks? “The 13th BfR Summer Academy will focus on mutual exchange and international networking. After all, food safety is a global challenge today. It doesn’t stop at borders. This makes it all the more important to jointly promote consumer health protection and thus protect the population from food-related diseases in the best possible way,” says Professor Andreas Hensel, President of the BfR.
