Energy: more than electricity
On 21 June De Jonge Akademie (part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) and the Young Academy Groningen will host a symposium about the many existing forms of energy. Four renowned scientists will talk about the effects of different types of sugars, the worldwide surge in nuclear energy, how animals evolve through energy, and the relation between energy in the brain and depression.
Speakers
- Simon Verhulst, biologist, University of Groningen – Energy and evolution
- Marthe Walvoort, chemist, University of Groningen – Energy from sugars: healthy or not?
- Marieke Wichers, medical psychologist, University of Groningen – Energy: fuel for a balanced mood
