Disgusting Food, Compelling Science
Science Speed Dating at the Disgusting Food Museum Berlin with participants of the Humboldt Residency Programme
Join us for an evening that challenges your palate and expands your mind!
Disgusting Food, Compelling Science is an exclusive event hosted by the Humboldt Residency Programme at the Disgusting Food Museum.
Guests will have the unique opportunity to explore the exhibition after hours and engage in Science Speed Dating – a series of brief, dynamic conversations between you and scientists. From the latest trends in the culinary landscape to cutting-edge innovations in food science, these bite-sized exchanges offer a rare taste of the science behind what lands on our plates. Serve your “date” any questions you have around food and ask them how they envision the future of food!
Complementing the discussions is a special tasting of unusual (and potentially off-putting) foods from around the world served at the Disgusting Food Museum's tasting bar. Here, you’re invited to not only learn about the fascinating world of global food cultures but experience them firsthand – if you’re brave enough!
The researchers featured in this event are participants of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s Humboldt Residency Programme 2025, which is focusing on the topic “The Future of Food”. Find out more about the programme on our website.
If you are looking to stimulate your taste buds as well as your brain cells, then this event is guaranteed to satisfy your appetite.
