SUMMARY:Pint of Science: Nature to Nurture
DESCRIPTION:The world’s largest festival of public science\, which offers members of the public an inside look at cutting-edge research\, is returning to Darlington for the third year. \nThe Pint of Science festival brings thousands of scientists and their research out of specialist labs and into their local pubs\, cafés and community halls to share their scientific discoveries with members of the public in an informal and relaxed setting. \nNo boundaries for enzyme discovery to synthesise useful chemicals and pharmaceuticals\n\n\nDr Mohammad Dadashipour (Dadashi) (Lecturer in Biotechnology ) \n\nEnzymes are specialised proteins produced by different organisms during evolution to enable life and function. Enzymes have found invaluable applications in various industries\, including personal care and laundry\, food\, pharmaceutical and fine chemicals. Dadashi will quickly review his journey of enzyme discovery from different organismal sources and provide examples of their applications in daily life\, including a very recent one stemming from his doctoral research in the treatment of cystic fibrosis and COPD.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Slimy Superfood: The Unexpected Story of Chia\n\n\nDr Maria Dimopoulou (Senior Lecturer in Food Science and Technology) \n\nChia seeds are everywhere\, in smoothies\, puddings\, and “superfood” claims\, but what actually happens when these tiny seeds meet your mouth? This talk uncovers the surprising science behind chia’s gel-like coating\, how it transforms in saliva\, and why this unusual behaviour could help us design safer\, easier‑to‑swallow foods for an ageing population. From viral health trends to the physics of eating\, join us to discover the hidden world inside every spoonful of chia.\n\n\n\n\nToxic proteins and the brain’s plumbing system\, what can they tell us about dementia?\n\n\n\nDr Lauren Walker (Lecturer in Biomedical Science) \n\nDementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is one of the most common types of dementia but you have probably never heard of it. It shares symptoms with both Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease\, which can make things confusing for patients\, families\, and even doctors. In this talk\, I’ll explore what we’ve learned about the condition by looking closely at brains donated for research from people who lived with DLB. One focus of my research is what happens in the brain’s plumbing system\, the blood vessels. Toxic proteins (unlike the ones you eat) can build up in blood vessels in people with dementia and cause problems with thinking and learning skills. By finding ways to unblock the plumbing system we can hopefully help people with dementia live better for longer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets £5.00 available here\nDoors From: 6:30PM\nEvent Starts: 7:00PM (Approximately)\n14+ (Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult)\nSeated Event \nBefore attending please read our Covid-19 Disclaimer and check out our Venue Info Page
