We talked to Chris Slootweg, associate professor in physical organic chemistry. With his research, he wants to gain more knowledge on chemistry and apply it directly for a more sustainable society.

We talked to Andy Pimentel, professor of Parallel Computing Systems at the Informatics Institute. He aims to make computer systems not only faster, but also more sustainable.

We meet Judy Shamoun-Baranes, professor of animal movement ecology. She studies bird behaviour in changing environments, especially near wind parks.

This time, we talked to Joachim Goedhart, assistant professor of Molecular Cytology. ‘You can use light to control the shape and behaviour of cells. It’s truly amazing that this is possible.’

We talked to Annemarie van Wezel, professor of Environmental Ecology and scientific director of the UvA Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED). She looks for technological solutions to reduce the negative effects of chemicals in our waters.

We talked to Inge Huitinga and Paul Lucassen, principal investigators at the new Institute for Chemical Neuroscience (iCNS). ‘We hope that patients can eventually get an answer to the question 'What's wrong with my brain?' from their doctor.’
