  Internationale Inleefdagen in Malta

  Ieder jaar reizen de studenten van de derde bachelor farmaceutische wetenschappen een week naar het buitenland in het kader van de Internationale Inleefdagen. Dit jaar ging de reis naar Malta, waar ze een bezoek brachten aan de Universiteit van Malta, een kijkje namen achter de schermen van apothekers en verschillende bedrijven bezochten.

  Kunnen zebravinken ons helpen om levenslang te leren?

  Je hebt meer gemeen met een zebravink dan je op het eerste zicht zou denken. Wetenschapper in de biochemie Jolien Diddens onderzocht voor haar doctoraat aan de Universiteit Antwerpen het belang van DNA-methylatie bij het sluiten van de kritische periode waarin zebravinken hun zang leren. Jolien Diddens studeerde biochemie en biotechnologie aan de Universiteit Antwerpen waar ze in 2012 haar master behaalde. Datzelfde jaar begon Jolien aan haar doctoraat in het labo van prof. Wim Vanden Berghe.

  Antwerp Pint of Science Festival: Bringing Science from the Lab to the Pub

  In Antwerp, the Pint of Science festival is brewing, creating a perfect blend of academia and casual pub atmosphere. Pint of Science is a global science communication initiative held annually in 25 countries around the world during the month of May. The premise is simple yet powerful - bringing researchers to local pubs to share their work in an informal and engaging manner. The goal is to break down barriers, make science accessible, and foster meaningful conversations between scientists and the public.
