Wednesday:

On 24 January, the AmicsUAB association will hold an online conference on "The Applications of Synchrotron Light" to explain how the ALBA light facility works and how this light is applied.

The event will be streamed live on the AmicsUAB’s YouTube channel and will include the participation of Caterina Biscari, director of the ALBA Synchrotron Light Facility, and Miquel Bosch, physical engineer, PhD student at the IBEC, and member of Neurones Fregides and the science podcast Newton’s Fourth Law. The conference will be moderated by Ramon Pascual, former rector of the UAB, and founder of the AmicsUAB and the ALBA Synchrotron Light Facility.

The ALBA facility is a particles accelerator located at Cerdanyola del Vallès which produces a type of light, known as synchrotron light, which allows visualising molecular and atomic structures of materials in order to study their properties. Every year, the synchrotron generates approximately 6,000 hours of light.

Wednesday:

The decomposition of plant debris is the main process by which soil organic matter, the largest carbon store in terrestrial systems, is formed. Despite its importance, there are still many issues to be resolved, issues that will be addressed during the presentation. François-Xavier Joly is a soil ecologist interested in the interactions between plants and soil organisms, and their impact on processes such as the decomposition of plant debris and the formation of soil organic matter.

The seminars will combine online and onsite formats, but in all cases, talks will be always streamed (not recorded), so that they can be followed online.

On the occasion of World Brain Week 2022, held from 14 to 17 March, the UAB Institute of Neuroscience and the Mental Health CORE have organised the series Cervella't, a week of virtual and face-to-face talks open to everyone, with prior registration:

View the programme and register

The first conference will be online and given by Alba Toll, doctor in psychiatry from the UAB and psychiatrist at the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital. With the title Psychosis: what is it, how and why it occurs?, she will analyse the causes of this mental disorder, characterised by a certain loss of contact with reality and mainly affecting young people.

It is a fairly common disorder, and it is estimated that 3 out of 100 young people will suffer a psychotic episode. There are various theories about its cause, but there are still many unanswered questions about the pathophysiology of this disorder and about more reliable prognostic markers and markers of response to treatment.
