Ever wondered how tiny microbes can hack your brain or how your bones do more than just hold you up? Join us to explore how bugs and bones keep us healthy (and a little wild).
Bone to be wild: how the skeleton keeps you healthy
Nerea Alonso
(Assistant Professor at the Medical University of Graz)
Did you know that 500 million people in the world have osteoporosis? Or that there is a higher risk to break the hip than having breast cancer? Or that the skeleton helps to keep other organs healthy? Discover how we study the bones and how important it is to take care of them.
Tiny Influencers - How Microbes and Parasites control our Brains
Gregor Gorkiewicz
(Professor at the Medical University of Graz)
Symbiotic microbes play a surprising role in shaping our brain and behavior. Through the gut-brain axis, these tiny organisms can influence mood and stress, and certain parasites might even modulate our decision-making. Understanding this hidden world may unlock new treatments for mental health but also tells us that we are not alone.
