5th Global Science Film Festival 31st March 2023
The 5th Global Science Film Festival took place from 31.03. - 02.04.2023 in Bangalore, Basel, Lugano, Mumbai, New Delhi, Osaka, Shanghai, and Zurich.
Under the slogan "Reconnecting Science & Society", nine full-length films were aired. Amongst those was the film "The Invisible Extinction", that addresses the vanishing diversity of our microbiome and efforts to conserve these bacteria for possible future applications. This movie also touches upon the "Microbiota Vault" project we are heavily involved in. After the film a podium discussion was held where Adrian joined as an expert and answered some interesting questions from the audience.
All movies are great examples of excellent science communication and highly recommended to watch! The link to the website of the film festival can be found here. We believe it is crucial to communicate findings from research with the public to raise awareness and increase the understanding of scientific issues.
