To encourage cross pollination of ideas between researchers from different disciplines, the Integrated Science Lab (IceLab) hosts interdisciplinary research lunches with the vision of allowing ideas to meet and mate. During the Lunch Pitch Season, the creative lunches take place at KBC every other Tuesday.
The next Icelab Lunch Pitch conversation will be centered around plants sticking together, and algae fighting climate change.
Who is pitching about what?
Pitch 1: Christiane Funk, Professor at Department of Chemistry: Can we use local microalgae to clean our water and produce energy-rich biomass?
Pitch 2: Stéphane Verger, Assistant Professor at Umeå Plant Science Center, SLU & Bio4Energy: How do plants achieve multicellularity?
Ideas welcome from anyone! Stéphane Verger would particularly like some insights from colleagues in the field of Physics.
Register by 10am February 3 to reserve your free lunch (sandwich, drink, and little sweet snack): https://icelab.se/event/for-the-love-of-new-ideas-lunch-pitch-6/
