On 27th of November we will celebrate the European Researchers’ Night for the 15th time! On this occasion, researchers from IARFR PAS will conduct a series of 15 online lectures for schoolchildren. The lectures prepared within the EIT Food #AnnualFoodAgenda project will address the most interesting topics in the area of food, nutrition and health. Remote teaching does not have to mean routine! Invite scientists to your class and join the celebration of science in Europe! The lectures will be a source of knowledge, inspiration and will cover the most current topics related to healthy eating and sustainable consumer behaviours. We will learn about the bacteria that inhabit our intestines and how we can strengthen our immune system with food. We will check when we should follow a gluten-free diet and take a closer look at the facts and myths about the quality of farm fish. We will get an insight into one of the most serious diseases of the 21st century – obesity – and see if fatty tissue can devour calories! And once we are on the subject of health and food, we will also learn about the most popular food allergens and check why we sometimes do grocery shopping not guided by our heart and mind, but … our nose!
