Visitor Newsletter 4 – World of Laboratory
The World of Industry, Technology & Science (WoTS) is the place where professionals in industry, technology and science meet each other and exchange knowledge. The exhibitors will inform you about the latest solutions, from furnishings and equipment to analytical instruments and chemicals. The program of seminars, workshops and X-peditions has been put together to inspire and provide practical tips. Attend lectures and workshops on quality, safety, analytical techniques, sustainability and sample management.
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.”
X-pedition: safety
Everyone knows how important it is to work safely in the lab. But are you also aware of the latest developments and solutions to work more safely? The X-pedition is an interactive tour of the exhibition floor past six specialists. This way you will learn in a practical way about harmful noise in laboratories, the safe disposal of toxic and infectious waste and recognizing dangerous situations in the workplace. At each stand you will be asked a question. After completing the X-pedition you will receive a gift and certificate. The X-peditions can be followed every day of the fair week.
