Long Night of Science (LNDW) 2025

14.06.2024 -  

After a one-year hiatus, the Long Night of Science took place again this year on the main campus and the grounds of the University Hospital. The TACTIC project was represented at both locations. Doctoral students from the subprojects led by Prof. Myra Spiliopoulou and Prof. Benjamin Noack (both FIN) conducted an experiment on the main campus in which breaths were recorded while completing simple and less simple tasks. The goal was to identify the effect of the difficulty of the tasks on breathing patterns. The team led by Prof. Jessica Bertrand provided an insight into the topic of osteoarthritis and endoprostheses at the University Hospital. This topic is of interest to the general public not only because of demographic changes, but also to illustrate the role that infection models, materials science, and sensor technology could play in future developments. The topic thus offers a vivid introduction to the concept of smart prostheses. Young and old were enthusiastic about the experiments and demonstrations.
