Chips, schöne Gesichter, Seitensprung, Eifersucht, der aufrechte Gang, und ein (zu) grosses Hirn - Evolutionäre Psychologie für Anfänger
18:45 - 19:15 (Talk in German)
​
Im Laufe der letzten 1.8 Millionen Jahre haben wir psychologische Mechanismen entwickelt, um das Überleben und die Fortpflanzung zu verbessern. Diese Mechanismen spielen auch heute noch eine Rolle im unserem Essverhalten, in der Wahl der Partner, in der Vorliebe für Symmetrie und im Bilden von sozialen Netzwerken.

Blackout - wenn der Prüfungsstress das Gedächtnis blockiert
19:30 - 20:00 (Talk in German)
​
Prof. Dominique de Quervain works in the Cognitive Neuroscience Division at the University of Basel. Prof. Dominique de Quervain is interested in the effects of stress and stress hormones on memory in health and disease. In particular, his group is eager to translate basic findings on the effects of glucocorticoids on memory to patients with PTSD and phobias. Furthermore, together with Andreas Papassotiropoulos, Dominique is interested in the genetic basis of human memory and in the identification of novel drug targets (www.geneguide.com).

Tanzende Zwerggalaxien gegen den Mainstream
20:15 - 20:45 (Talk in German)

Dr. Oliver Mueller is a Postdoctoral researcher in the University of Strasbourg where he searches for and studies the faintest galaxies in the Universe: dwarf galaxies. These galaxies are dominated by the ominous dark matter, making the dwarfs excellent testbeds to study cosmological predictions. In recent years, the tensions between the observations and predictions grew larger and larger, making dwarf galaxies a highly exciting (and controversial) topic of research. One of the most problematic tensions in cosmology is the so-called plane-of-satellite problem, describing the distribution and motion of dwarf galaxies around our own Milky Way galaxy. Last year, we provided new observational evidence that this problem persists in other galaxy groups and is not constrained to the Milky Way, challenging our current understanding of structure formation in the Universe.
