Pint of Science kommt nach Darmstadt und findet im Mai für 2 Tage statt. Freut euch auf spannende Themen und spannende Wissenschaftler*innen bei einem Bier oder Äppler (sehr regionales Getränk). Am 23.5. sprechen Janina, Kira und John über die Themen "Eine schleichende Bedrohung? Antibiotika-Resistenz Gene im Abwasser", "Abwasser als Informationsquelle: Dem Corona-Virus auf der Spur" und "Die Unsichtbaren sichtbar machen. - Über Slums und informelle Siedlungen.". Wir freuen uns darauf, euch im Mai zu sehen!
The talks will be held in german.

Urbanization, megacities and scale-free systems
John Friesen
(Post-doc at the TU Darmstadt)
The majority of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, with most of the growth concentrated in developing countries. This growth poses a challenge for infrastructure, and understanding urban development is necessary to find sustainable solutions. Empirical data, analytics, and simulation are used to analyze current cities, develop mechanisms for emerging distributions, and plan future infrastructure.
A silent fear? Antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater
Janina Mattersdorf
(PhD student at the TU Darmstadt)
Antibiotic resistance genes present in wastewater pose a silent but significant threat to public health and the environment.
Why do you think science communication is important?
Janina: Science communication is important because it helps to communicate scientific information to the general public. This can inspire young people to pursue careers in science and technology, which can lead to new discoveries and innovations that benefit society as a whole.

Wastewater as a source of information: Tracking the spread of coronavirus
Kira Zachmann
(PhD student at the TU Darmstadt)
Wastewater-based epidemiology offers a promising approach for tracking the spread of coronavirus and informing public health decisions. Kira's research focus is to develop new strategies for the concept of effluent-based monitoring/epidemiology using SARS-CoV-2 as an example.
