Science and Beers – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Fat cells are specialised to store large amounts of fat that act as metabolic energy depots. However, fat cells carry out many other vital functions such as appetite regulation. Fat cells can talk to each other, the brain and the other organs. In this episode, Professor Susanne Mandrup talks about fat cells, as well as the epigenetics and DNA associated with fat cells and metabolic disease.

Ph.D. Susanne Mandrup is Professor at Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at SDU where she serves as Director of the Center of Excellence in Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity (ATLAS) and Center for Adipocyte Signaling (ADIPOSIGN), as well as Head of the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit. Click here for more information about ATLAS and ADIPOSIGN.

Professor Susanne Mandrup is an elected member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Academia Europaea, AcademiaNet, and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and Knight of the Order of Dannebrog.

"Football is medicine, football is for everyone, football is for life." That's the message from Peter Krustrup as we have a beer and a chat at the Euro 2020 Fan Zone is Copenhagen. Episode recorded June 24th, 2021. You can find some pictures of the meeting here.

Peter is Chair of Health Sciences at the Danish Institute for Advanced Study. He is Professor of Sport and Health Sciences at the Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics at SDU and Honorary Visiting Professor at University of Exeter, United Kingdom and Shanghai University of Sport, China. He is also a UEFA Pro-License football coach, currently working as Fitness Coach for the Danish Women’s National Team.

He initiated the international “Football is Medicine” platform with more than 250 researchers from 25 countries. Football is medicine is the result of a 15 year study with 150 peer-reviewed articles.

Peter's research interests consist of two main areas: Fitness and health effects of physical activity across the lifespan with special reference to team. This includes investigations of the link between the locomotor activities and physiological demands of various sports disciplines and other types of physical activity types, the cardio-vascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal adaptations after short and long-term interventions, and the potential for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of lifestyle related diseases, such as hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis, and also for men with prostate cancer and women with breast cancer.

Secondly he examines sports performance, fatigue, training and testing of male and female elite athletes. This includes analysis of physiological demands and locomotor activities in training and match-play for elite athletes and the general population, fatigue, recovery, development of sport-specific testing protocols, reliability and validity of tests in relation to sports performance, effects of aerobic training, anaerobic training, strength training, sprint training and agility training for elite and recreational athletes and effects of environmental factors, playing surface and diet manipulation on performance and recovery.

Dr Eivind Segtnan is part of the team behind Synaptic Science Solutions. During his PhD, Eivind worked towards the development of a method to test for brain diaschisis - where damage to an area of the brain effects other regions of the brain. Eivind also is part of a team that developed an app and an Artificial Intelligence that can help mass test for Covid19.

This episode is divided into two parts, the first 30 minutes is on brain diaschisis and the second half is on the Covid19 app. It was recorded live in front of an audience.

Five years ago, the Aage V. Jensen foundation deliberately flooded a piece of drained, coastal land at Gyldensteen on North Funen in Denmark. The dikes were opened in three places, the seawater flowed in and quickly covered a 214 ha area which had previously been agricultural land. Furthermore, a freshwater lake was created of 144 ha. Ever since, biologists from the University of Southern Denmark have followed the return of nature and observed how nutrients, greenhouse gases, flora and fauna in the wetlands have changed and developed ever since.

This intentional flooding can be used as a case study to see the effects of sea-level rise.

Susan Guldberg is a PhD student in the ecology group in the Biology Department at the University of Southern Denmark.

Dr Claus Christensen has a PhD from the University of Copenhagen. He is also a master brewer at the Munkebo Brewery in Odense, Denmark. Claus uses his knowledge of microbiology to hunt for and culture wild yeast. Some of his beers are made with yeast from the legs of honey bees, flowers or wild fruits picked up from places of historical significance. The story of the Munkebo Brewery and their beers is steeped in a rich viking history.

Professor in cultural sociology Ian Woodward, and PhD researcher in market anthropology, Signe Banke, are based at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), where they both work on the FestiVersities project.

FestiVersities is a multi-sited research project led by Professor Woodward from SDU. It is funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) Joint Research programme under the Horizon 2020 scheme Public Spaces: Culture and Integration in Europe (2019-2022). The project critically interrogates the relationship between culture, public space and social integration in music festivals in five European countries.

In this episode, we discuss how Covid-19 has affected their research. Read more about the project at https://www.festiversities.com/ or follow on twitter; @FestiVersities @Ianswoodward @SigneBanke @Science_Beers
