Come and discover the common misconceptions around food and drink over a pint and a pizza.
Our STEM academics are heading for the SU Metro bar where they will tackle common misconceptions around food and drink, and discuss the latest research on the psychology of food – all over a pint and a pizza.
Join Paul Cavendish, Dr Lindsay McDermott, Dr Faye Powell, and Dr Shaobo Zhou for our first ‘Taste of Science’ event aimed at staff and students as part of the University of Bedfordshire Festival of Science and Engineering.
At this FREE TO ATTEND event Paul, Lindsay, Faye and Shaobo will discuss and answer questions on:
• Fat or thin – is it predetermined ?
• Dietary advice
• Sensory specific satiety – the sensory hedonic phenomenon that refers to the declining satisfaction generated by the consumption of a certain type of food, and the consequent renewal in appetite resulting from the exposure to a new flavour or food
• Practical tastings – perceptions of taste
Free pizza available on production of an Eventbrite ticket.
