University of Groningen launches free online course ‘Why Do We Age? The Molecular Mechanisms of Ageing’
The European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing (ERIBA), University of Groningen and University Medical Center Groningen, will launch on 1 June 2015 a free online course on the Biology of Ageing. This course will focus on questions like: ‘W hy do we age?’, ‘Is there a limit to human lifespan?’ and ‘Can we prolong our lives?’. Participants will study the current concepts and theories of the biology of ageing and will learn about the molecular processes that take place in the ageing cell.
More information, a trailer and the registration form are available on the website of FutureLearn. The University of Groningen signed a partnership with platform Future Learn last year. The MOOC on Molecular Ageing is already the fourth one realized within this partnership.

Microplastics? Ventilate, ventilate and vacuum
It is becoming increasingly clear that our world is full of microplastics, and that this does not bode well. Barbro Melgert aims to find out what this does to our lungs, and hopes to receive a second ZonMW grant next year to continue her research at...

Hoger diabetesrisico bij lager opgeleiden ondanks gezonde voeding
Lager opgeleiden die een gezond voedingspatroon hebben, hebben een twee keer zo hoog diabetesrisico dan hoger opgeleiden met een gezond voedingspatroon. Dat concludeerden wetenschappers van het UMCG.
