Sustainability, Sperm, and Space: A Cocktail of Science

Sustainability sounds promising. SDGs, Net Zero, ESG, Green Deal, and Climate Justice promise a lot. But how are they delivering? Come hear a clear take. Have an eye-opening look at what's really happening.

I research cytoskeletal factors essential for proper sperm development and function, uncovering the molecular mechanics that drive male fertility.What is required to keep the spermatozoa in shape and on the move. It’s not just about swimming — understanding these funny cells could unlock new ways to diagnose and treat male infertility and even inspire the next generation of male contraceptives.

Magnetic fields can be found throughout the Universe, from planets and stars to galaxies - even in the big empty spaces of the Universe far from any kind of matter to produce them, which begs the question: Where did they come from!? Many theories point to their origins in the very early Universe, during the first millisecond after the Big Bang, which opens up exciting opportunities to better understand the Universe's beginnings and the nature of our reality. I will give a brief overview of this captivating problem and its potential to get to know mother nature a bit closer.
