public

Presenter
Prof. Barbara Stecher-Letsch

We humans are not alone – we are inhabited by a vast number of bacteria and other microorganisms. This is especially true for our gut. But what exactly are these microbes, our ‘invisible roommates,’ doing there? How do we benefit from them? Shouldn’t we try to get rid of them? Prof. Bärbel Stecher addresses these questions in her lecture.

Relevant content, understandable language and entertaining presentation - this is how TUM@Freising brings science to the city. Meet researchers from the TUM School of Life Sciences in person and find out what they are working on. A subsequent discussion after each presentation is expressly encouraged, because science thrives on the exchange of opinions.

Admission starts at 6.30 pm and admission is free. Prior registration is not necessary.

Series of events TUM@Freising

Science - explained for everyone: Meet researchers from the TUM School of Life Sciences in person and find out what they are working on. A subsequent discussion after each lecture is expressly encouraged, because science thrives on the exchange of opinions.

The aim of the event is a lively encounter - citizens can get to know the people at "their" TUM better and learn more at the same time, while science receives valuable impulses for its research work through direct feedback from the public. The close cooperation between the city of Freising and the TUM Weihenstephan campus, which has existed for many years, is now becoming tangible in the city and region.
