Our amazing second speaker for Monday's Week 2! Meet Carol Chermaz! - "Bulky headphones have become fashionable again. Noise cancelling headphones - who doesn't want a pair? Hearing aids, on the other hand, are becoming smaller and smaller. Why is this happening? Is it because the latter are associated with disability, while noise cancelling headphones are associated with comfort and technology?" - Visit the Facebook event for more details about the entire event: http://ow.ly/B5CR30mzPcq - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #science #scicom #sound #computerscience #compsci #research #audiology #speech #prosthetics #technology #noise #announcement #hearing #headphones #noisecancelling

INTRODUCING: Carol Chermaz! - "Imagine you're in a train station, and you're waiting to know from which platform your train will depart. There's an announcement over the loudspeaker, but you can't hear it because there's a lot of noise. That is really annoying. Now imagine you have hearing difficulties: the problem gets even harder. My research question is: if you are using a hearing device, is there a way we can make your device separate the voice of the loudspeaker from the background noise? Hearing prosthetics have to perform this separation in a "blind" way, which doesn't always lead to satisfactory results. But what if the devices could tell the difference? Would you want one even if you didn't have any hearing problem?" - Visit the Facebook event for more details about the entire event: http://ow.ly/B5CR30mzPcq - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #science #scicom #sound #computerscience #compsci #research #audiology #speech #prosthetics #technology #noise #announcement #hearing

Our amazing second speaker - Carol Chermaz! - "I have been a sound geek for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a sound engineer before getting into medical research as an IT professional. At some point it occurred to me that I could merge sound and research: that's how I started working in audiology, and became more and more interested in the field of hearing prosthetics. In 2017 I have joined the ENRICH network and started my PhD at the University of Edinburgh: my goal is to make speech more intelligible for users of hearing prosthetics. I am a computer scientist, a musician and a ham radio: a little bit of everything helps in this tough challenge. I now have the remarkable opportunity of working with those who can shape the technologies of tomorrow, and I am trying to make the most of it!" - 'Your typical nerd at the Mini Maker Faire in Trieste, Italy' - Visit the Facebook event for more details about the entire event: http://ow.ly/B5CR30mzPcq - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #science #scicom #sound #computerscience #compsci #research #audiology #speech #prosthetics #technology

Meet Kiani Jeacock, our amazing first speaker for November 19th #ChatSci! - ‘This is one of our mass spectrometers – using this we can study how the protein is behaving.’ - Visit the Facebook event for more details about the entire event: http://ow.ly/B5CR30mzPcq - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #science #scicom #chemistry #protein #parkinsons #disease #proteinbehaviour #biomarker #massspec

Introducing Kiani Jeacock, our fabulous first speaker for #ChatSciSeries6 Week 2! - ‘My main working space is the wet lab, I do lots of standard biochemistry work here and prepare samples for detailed analysis.’ - Week 2 of #ChatSci is on November 19 at 6.30pm in Sofi's Southside. - Visit the Facebook event for more details about the entire event: http://ow.ly/B5CR30mzPcq - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #science #scicom #chemistry #protein #parkinsons #disease #proteinbehaviour #biomarker

Week two of #ChatSci is nearly upon us! Which means one thing - welcome to our speakers! Our first speaker for the 19th November is Kiani Jeacock! - Kiani is a 1st year PhD student based at the UoE School of Chemistry. Her research focuses on the protein that is associated with Parkinson’s disease, alpha synuclein. Specifically, she is interested in the different types of modifications that can happen to alpha synuclein, how these modifications affect the behaviour of the protein, and how they lead to the development of disease. The long term goal is to identify a biomarker to enable earlier detection of Parkinson’s disease in patients. - ‘This is one of my favourite instruments in the lab – it helps with a lot of different aspects of my work!’ - Visit the Facebook event for more details about the entire event: http://ow.ly/B5CR30mzPcq - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries6 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #science #scicom #chemistry #protein #parkinsons #disease #proteinbehaviour #biomarker
