Launched in 2013 in the UK, the Pint of Science Festival will take place in over 400 cities worldwide from May 22-24, 2023. For the first time, the festival is also coming to Duisburg and CENIDE is right in the middle of it. Three CENIDE members - Harry Hoster, Doris Segets and Axel Lorke - will be at the festival, which will take place in the legendary student pub Finkenkrug on Sternbuschweg.

On the second day of the festival, Wednesday, May 24, starting at 7 p.m., Harry Hoster, scientific managing director of the Center for Fuel Cell Technology (ZBT) GmbH and professor of energy technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen, will give a lecture on green hydrogen. Also on board: lobsters, dinosaurs and Mark Twain - we can be curious. Doris Segets, normally holder of the Chair of Particle Physics and Technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen, will unravel the mystery of how and why particles get into electrodes and what hydrogen has to do with it. And if you're still in the mood for more, Axel Lorke, head of the Experimental Physics Research Group at the Faculty of Physics, will explain why everything is quantum mechanics and that the quantum is our friend.

On the first day of the festival, Monday, May 22, starting at 7 p.m., three completely different exciting lectures will already be presented in Finkenkrug (Sternbuschweg 71).

Susanne Moebus, professor at the University Hospital Essen and head of the newly founded Institute for Urban Public Health (InUPH) - formerly the Center for Urban Epidemiology, will talk about how to stay healthy in the city (despite climate change and urbanization). Her research interests focus on the strengths and risks of the urban environment for population health, with a particular interest in understanding how to assess and create health-promoting acoustic quality in cities for the environment and human health.

Miriam Mulders, who joined the Chair of Media Didactics and Knowledge Management at the University of Duisburg-Essen in December 2018, will and into the world of virtual reality about the experience of presence (using the Anne Frank VR House as an example) in it. 
Mareike Bacha-Trams from the Chair of Psychological Research Methods - Media Supported Knowledge Construction at the UDE will show the latest news and how our brain processes this sometimes questionable news.

Tickets are available for 2.50 euros on the Pint of Science Germany e.V. website.
