Branco Weiss Lecture 2026

Matter flows and flows matter – from particles to oceans!

When was the last time you let go, and went with the flow? Probably more recently than you think! Flow is everywhere, in ocean currents sustaining coral reefs, in the blood keeping you alive, in storms of subatomic particles born from high-energy collisions. All matter flows, and things can even get turbulent! Join us in this lecture about the flows that shape our world across Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Ecology, and Medicine, and explore when it is better to go against the flow.
