Location: Wright's

Join us on a journey through the unseen as we zoom into the electrifying world of microbes, then take a step back to explore the mysteries of the infinite. We’ll discover the ways these hidden wonders can be harnessed and unlock new perspectives, challenging our knowledge on the smallest and largest scales in our universe!

The electrifying potential of microbes

Keir Whiting (PhD student (UEA, Clarke lab))

Although you may not have realised it, bacteria in soil sediments beneath your feet are hard at work producing electricity day & night. These bacteria have developed unique survival mechanisms that result in electrical discharge to the environment around them; electrical discharge that has the potential for involvement in many biotechnological applications! From atom sized electrical components to environmental cleanup, the research being performed on these microbes is extensive. Join us for this talk to discover some of the work being done at UEA to truly harness their electrifying potential!

Mysteries of the infinite

Dr Jonathan Kirby (Associate Professor of Mathematics, UEA)

Is our universe infinite? What happens after the end of time? What shape is infinity? Do infinities come in different sizes? Jonathan will take you on a mathematical tour of the infinite, and unravel some of the mysteries behind these questions.
