Science & Cinema flimmerte zum ersten Mal über die Leinwand

Wissenschaft als Blockbuster: Die neue Uni-Graz-Reihe „Science & Cinema“ bewies, wie spannend Forschung ist und wie viel davon in Filmen steckt. Am 28. Jänner 2016 hieß es im Rechbauer-Kino zum ersten Mal „Film ab“. Für die Premiere nahmen Molekularbiologe Kai-Uwe Fröhlich und Fritz Treiber, Mastermind von „Science & Cinema“, Filme rund um Zombies, Superhelden und Monster unter die wissenschaftliche Lupe. Anhand von Ausschnitten aus „I Am Legend“, „Planet der Affen“, „Contagion“, „Spiderman“ und anderen Streifen, analysierten sie tatsächliche Möglichkeiten und Wahrheitsgehalt dieses Genres.

„Harmlose Zombies sind mit dem Gift des Kugelfisches vorstellbar, aber wie sollen verweste Körperteile ohne Muskel und Sehnen arbeiten“, zweifelte Fröhlich an einer Realisierung. „Jurrassic Park“ aus den 1990er-Jahren habe hingegen viel vorweggenommen, was heute möglich ist. „“Es gibt gute Chancen, dass man aus tiefgefrorenen Mammuts DNA extrahiert und mit Hilfe von Elefanten einen kuscheligen Dickhäuter schafft“, schmunzelte der Forscher.

Aufgrund des großen Erfolgs – die erste Veranstaltung war innerhalb weniger Stunden ausgebucht – gibt es am 15. März 2016 um 18 Uhr einen Zusatz-Termin. Also rasch anmelden! Der Eintritt ist frei. Eine Reservierung ist aufgrund der limitierten Kartenanzahl erforderlich:
Tel.: 0316 83 05 08
E-Mail: filmzentrum(at)filmzentrum.com

Die Reihe „Science & Cinema“ ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation an der Uni Graz.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Chemical Christmas show at the University of Graz: An explosive evening at the Schauspielh

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
