Samuel Casasola Zamora is our first speaker to kickstart ChatSci Series 7! Find out more about his talk and research on the Facebook event or the InterSci website! - https://www.facebook.com/events/311302329507766/ http://www.intersci.org - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #Edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #science #biology #plants #immunesystem #microbes #food #crops #technology #innovation #metagenomics #lochness #genes #dna #transgenic - ChatSci Series 7 will be held in the Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. Doors open 6:30pm with talks starting at 6:45.

2019 is here - which means ChatSci Series 7 has also arrived! We have two great speakers lined up, and we’re happy to announce the first! - Meet Samuel Casasola Zamora: Samuel is about to finish his PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on understanding plants’ immune system, how plants identify dangerous microbes and protect themselves. If we understand how plants do this, we will be able to engineer better crops to address food demand. Samuel’s main interest relies on the application of emerging technologies to tackle everyday problems. He has worked as a tech transfer intern at Edinburgh Innovations Ltd. and participated in different organisations promoting innovation. Additionally, he recently led an expedition to do metagenomics in the highlands with the goal to characterise the microbial communities living in Loch Ness and identify genes with an industrial application (http://www.huntingmicromonsters.com). - “Nicotiana benthamiana plants, used to test DNA constructions before generating transgenic plants.” - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #Edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #science #biology #plants #immunesystem #microbes #food #crops #technology #innovation #metagenomics #lochness #genes #dna #transgenic - ChatSci Series 7 will be held in the Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. Week 1 is on 21st January. Doors open 6:30pm with talks starting at 6:45. - https://www.facebook.com/events/311302329507766/ http://www.intersci.org

Hey, have you read Kostas Bantounos' bio about his talk on Monday!? Go check it out now! - "Precision measurements of food additives for adjusting food textures. We need milligram accuracy for concentrations below 1%" - #InterSci #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #phd #electronics #electrical #engineering #foodscience #publicengagement #scicom #cooking #sciencecooking #carrot #centrifuge #icecream #dryice #precision #accuracy #food #texture - ChatSci is on at 6.30pm at Sofi's Southside, Monday December 3rd. - Visit the event page for more information: ow.ly/y0jj30mK7KY

Meet our fabulous speaker for Monday, Kostas Bantounos! - "Making ice cream with dry ice" - #InterSci #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #phd #electronics #electrical #engineering #foodscience #publicengagement #scicom #cooking #sciencecooking #carrot #centrifuge #icecream #dryice - ChatSci is on at 6.30pm at Sofi's Southside, Monday December 3rd. - Visit the event page for more information: ow.ly/y0jj30mK7KY

Thursday's mean second speakers! A big welcome to Kostas Bantounos, who'll be speaking on Monday 3rd December! - "I'm a PhD student with a background in Electronics & Electrical Engineering. My research is in depth imaging sensors that driverless cars could use to map their surroundings in 3D. However, my ChatSci talk has nothing to do with that. I'll be talking about food science, which is a hobby and passion of mine. For a year now, I've been organising public engagement events, aiming to change people's attitude towards cooking. The science-part is surprisingly fascinating, touching upon soft-matter physics and chemistry. The cooking-part is a platform to express creativity. Not to mention, you literally get to taste your creations! - "Separating a carrot butter emulsion with a centrifuge” - #InterSci #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #phd #electronics #electrical #engineering #foodscience #publicengagement #scicom #cooking #sciencecooking #carrot #centrifuge - ChatSci is on at 6.30pm at Sofi's Southside, Monday December 3rd. - Visit the event page for more information: ow.ly/y0jj30mK7KY

No autographs, please... A big thank you to @nightdrive22 and @elliecawthera for an awesome article about InterSci and what we do! Pick up your copy of EUSCI in the buildings around George Square - or find it online! #edinburgh #eusa #eusci #science #sciencemagazine #scicom #intersci #chatsci
