Public invited to free UCC lectures on Science in Society

Can the food we eat really make us smarter? Is food processing a problem or a solution? Can science help us improve our understanding of ancient Irish manuscripts? What happened when science went wrong during the darkest moments in humanity?

These and a variety of other questions are to be answered in a series of accessible lectures on science’s role in society, which will be hosted in University College Cork over the coming weeks.

Free for the public to attend and aimed at a lay audience, the lectures will see leading UCC scientists deliver addresses on diverse topics such as How Science Works, the Circular economy, Energy and the Environment, Rediscovering Dinosaurs, Rethinking Chemicals in Everyday Life, Plant based foods: sustainable and nutritious, the Human Microbiome, and more.
