How is the daily routine of researchers?

Have your ever extracted the DNA from a kiwi? Do you know how Darwin developed his theory of evolution? Would you like to create you own fossil? Summing up… what’s science for?

Everything you always wanted to know about stem cells but were afraid to ask. A debate on the future of biomedicine

SCIENTIFIC COFFEE: Science & Sci-Fi: Where is the limit? 

Is it the same to create a sci-fi history and a scientific project? Does reality overcome fiction? Would it be possible to travel by teletransport? Will a pill be the solution for all?

Stress, drug addiction and eating disorders

A summer school at Dubrovnik with lecturers from the PRBB, University Pompeu Fabra and the Centre for Genomic Regulation!

Registration open!

SCIENTIFIC COFFE. EVOLUTION: FROM CELLS TO FACEBOOK

Do cells and social nets evolve in the same way? To evolve means to get more complex? Only biological life can evolve? How researchers study evolution today?
We have heard a lot about Darwin this year but, what we really know about evolution? Is evolution only related to life? Join us and let's discuss with two experts on evolution!

Speakers:

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Event lab from the UB and IDIBAPS, together with the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona and the Fundació Catalana per la Recerca i la Innovació (FCRi) are proud to present you the 2009 Brain Illusions Fair.

The science fair will be held on Friday 8th of May from 10am till 12am, at the old factory Fabra i Coats (Carrer Sant Adrià, 20 - Sant Andreu, Barcelona). Entrance is free.

What is behind our genome?

Flies and humans have almost the same number of genes but, why are we so different? How nature can bring us such diversity from this shared gene set?

Scientists are hardly studying the genome and we are used to listen about the human resemblance to flies, chimpanzees.... Our invited speakers will give us a general vision about this item and they will help us to undertand what is behind our genome.
