"Bieriger" Auftritt

"Wie kann Bier den Chemieunterricht besser machen?" fragte der Didaktik-Experte Philipp Spitzer in seinem Beitrag zum Styrian Science Slam. Alle Fotos: SHK/Ralph König, wildundwunderbar. ©©wildundwunderbar

"Wie kann Bier den Chemieunterricht besser machen?" fragte der Didaktik-Experte Philipp Spitzer in seinem Beitrag zum Styrian Science Slam. Alle Fotos: SHK/Ralph König, wildundwunderbar.

Philipp Spitzer begeisterte beim steirischen Science Slam, Sieg ging an TU-Forscher

Eine geballte Ladung Wissenschaft gab es beim Science Slam am 28. September 2022 im Grazer Orpheum. Sechs steirische WissenschafterInnen präsentierten unter der Moderation von Bernhard Weingartner ihre Forschungsgebiete auf der Bühne – verständlich, unterhaltsam, in nur sechs Minuten. Mit seiner Bühnenperformance „Netzfehler – wir müssen draußen bleiben“ konnte Energietechnikforscher Manuel Galler von der TU Graz die meisten Stimmen des Publikums und damit den Wettbewerb gewinnen.
Für die Uni Graz ging Philipp Spitzer an den Start. Der Chemie-Didaktiker schenkte den BesucherInnen mit seinem „bierigen“ Auftritt – buchstäblich – kräftig ein. Er zeigte überaus anschaulich, warum und wie der Hopfensaft gewaltig schäumt und sogar den Chemie-Unterricht besser macht.

Der Styrian Science Slam fand erneut unter der Schirmherrschaft der Steirischen Hochschulkonferenz statt. Den Bühnenstars der Wissenschaft applaudierten im vollen Orpheum auch die Rektoren Peter Riedler (Uni Graz) und Harald Kainz (TU Graz). Kainz, der ab 1. Oktober den Vorsitz der Steirischen Hochschulkonferenz innehat, übernahm die Siegerehrung. 

Manuel Galler tritt am 30. September 2022 bei der Science-Slam-Staatsmeisterschaft in Wien an. Der Slam wird unter http://www.scienceslam.at gestreamt, Votings sind auch online möglich. Wer gewinnt, vertritt Österreich im Europafinale.

Wer Interesse hat, selbst seine Forschung als Slammer zu präsentieren oder sich den nächsten Termin als Publikumsgast vormerken möchte, findet alle Infos unter http://www.scienceslam.at

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.

Climate research in Greenland: Old data provides new insights

The polar explorer and University of Graz professor Alfred Wegener left behind a unique collection of climate data from Greenland. A research team from the University of Graz is now analysing this 100-year-old treasure trove of data and comparing it with current measurements.

Diversity in nature and science: How we talk about plants and each other

Ginkgo, kiwi, hemp: they exist as male and female plants. Anyone who paid attention in biology class will confirm this. But is this categorisation, established by Carl von Linné almost 300 years ago, still valid today? An interdisciplinary team at the University of Graz is questioning these attributions and using this as a starting point to provide food for thought for gender-sensitive interaction between students, scientific and teaching staff.
