The Night of Science at CoolHead: Communication, Evolution and Adaptation

For the year of Sivistys, our postdoctoral researchers from the University of Helsinki Viikki campus will share and discuss their latest research at CoolHead brewery: from the life of insects to the importance of soils and going through what you can not see with Arctic zooplankton or cancer cells.
