The CRISPR revolution: conversations with John van der Oost
John van der Oost is a molecular microbiologist at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and a pioneer in research into CRISPR-Cas: a revolutionary technology that enables scientists to edit the DNA of organisms very accurately. During the Fascinating Science seminar, he will tell you more about the many applications of CRISPR-Cas and explain why we are talking about a revolution. “It was a spectacular discovery, but it soon became clear that this system is a unique tool for editing DNA in all kinds of cells, from bacteria to plants and even human cells.”
“From steam engine to the evaporating black hole”
On Friday, September 27, the World of Industry, Technology & Science will focus on fascinating science. Three top scientists talk passionately about fundamental research and its practical implications. About their fascination with science and the world. One of these scientists is professor of mathematical physics, Klaas Landsman.
“Thermodynamics has its origins around the year 1800. The steam engine had just been invented in England and this was the starting signal of the industrial revolution. The physicists of that time were fascinated by the problem of how to make such a machine more efficient.”
Step into the future of transport
The World of Industry, Technology & Science (WoTS) is a breeding ground for the latest technologies. At the Student Innovation Pavilion, student teams introduce their creations to the world and during the seminar 'Sustainable future in transport', they talk about their most innovative projects.
Student Innovation Pavilion
The WoTS is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the driving forces behind innovative Netherlands. Four student teams are on the exhibition floor and present their latest creations. They are on the WoTS all week and are happy to answer your questions. Challenge them and be part of their enthusiasm for innovation and technology.
