💡 Here we go with the first technology in Luxembourg episode and what an episode it is! 💡 Angelika Bocian-Jaworska, the founder of Äerd Lab, is an architect who is on a quest to find perfect, locally-sourced organic materials for 3D-printing. You can already buy her mugs, candles and vases, but it's just the beginning. She is currently researching 3D-printing urban furniture and aims to move on to houses. 🌱 Our discussion also focused on alternative materials such as wood and eggshell powder, we talked about the current state of architecture and even sand in United Arab Emirates. 🎧 This episode is not to be missed and you can find it on all your favourite podcasting platforms and our Website: https://scilux.buzzsprout.com/1412332/14151542 #SustainableLiving #3DPrinting #MadeInLuxembourg #GreenArchitecture #CircularByDesign

🏅 The @fnr.lu awards are a chance to get to know last year's biggest scientific projects in Luxembourg. They are given in four categories: Outstanding Scientific Achievement, Outstanding Mentor, Outstanding PhD Thesis and Outstanding Promotion of Science to the General Public. ➡️ This year we had a chance to celebrate a discovery of a special #PainRelief compound, looking at molecules from the #thermodynamics side, mentoring in #MaterialsResearch @list_science and a transmedia project @colonia.lu @c2dh_lu (@uni.lu). For us personally it was also the first time we were quite up-to-date with all the projects. Congratulations to all and see you next year!

🧪 It was a real pleasure to sit down with Dr. Kathleen Mommaerts from the Integrated BioBank of Luxembourg at @lih_luxembourg and chat about sample preparation, storage, variability and the Rosalind Franklin Society Award she got recently (@rosalindfranklinsociety).  🙃 It was also great to joke around a little. Here’s a sample of our not-always-very-serious discussion. More in the full episode that is waiting for you to be discovered wherever you get your podcasts. ‼️ To sum up, yes, people are interested in doing loads of different things 😉 #sciencepodcast #Luxembourg #biobanking #RosalindFranklinSociety #ScienceTalk #Variability #Biospecimen #SamplePreparation #Biobank #ResearchLuxembourg

🎓👥 Curious about mentorship in academia? We sure were, and that's why our first episode of the new season features two experienced mentors: Prof. Simone Niclou, the Vice-Rector for Research at the @uni.lu, and Prof. Andreas Fickers, the Director of the @c2dh_lu. Simone and Andreas defined mentorship, shared their own mentee journeys, and revealed some intriguing comments and questions they encountered as mentors. There was so much to discuss that the pub quiz question will have to wait for the next episode! Stay tuned. 📚🤝 Link in bio. #AcademicMentorship #PodcastInsights #AcademicJourney #Luxembourg #SciencePodcast

Here comes another #SciLuxOriginal! In order to record this special episode (last one of season 3) we went to the Musée national d'histoire naturelle Luxembourg - natur musée where we talked to Eric Buttini - the Head of the Department of Geo- and Astrophysics at the museum. Eric’s research interests revolve around #asteroids and he’s now busily working on a new temporary exhibition coming to the museum on 10th November - Asteroid Mission. Besides talking about the preparations, we had a chance to discuss the mobile planetarium and Eric’s cooperation with Matt Dawson on the LUCID (Luxembourg Comet Identification and Discovery) project. Don't forget that our host, Hanna Siemaszko, will try to take over the museum twice for 20 minutes when she will be doing guided tours during the #MuseumNight2023 on 14th October 2023. And yes, listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts. #Luxembourg #sciencepodcast #research #scicomm ICOM Luxembourg

🧬 In social science genetics the researchers try to combine two important fields of research: genetics and social sciences. In the case of Giorgia Menta, a postdoctoral researcher in economics at LISER - Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research, genetics is used to see the influence of maternal mental health on children’s well-being and school outcomes. 👩‍💼 Giorgia has also studied the development of depression among women influenced by the UK pension reform and even conducted an online experiment to look for buyer bias on the housing market in Luxembourg. All this is possible thanks to calculating the so-called polygenic risk score, the genetic risk that the person holds of becoming for example depressed or excelling at school. 💡 Prepare for crystal clear explanations as Giorgia really knows how to deconstruct complicated terms in an easy to follow way. 🎧 You can listen to it on our Website: https://scilux.buzzsprout.com/1412332/13677441 and all the major podcasting platforms.
