💡 Have you ever wanted to meet a researcher and ask them about their work? Join us for an Afternoon in the Science Basement!
🐀 Our first short talk of the autumn season is "Rats of Helsinki - movement, disease and control" by Suvi Sallinen from the Faculty of Biological & Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki.
The Afternoon in the Science Basement is a monthly talk series, consisting of a monthly short presentation by a researcher, followed by a lively discussion with the audience.
🐀 Rats have lived side by side with humans for decades and are infamous for their potential to carry diseases. Today, significant amounts of money are spent to keep rat populations under control, but the effects of the control efforts on rats have not been thoroughly researched. In this talk, Suvi Sallinen will discuss rats in the city of Helsinki, how they may be affected by control efforts, their movement behaviour, and the diseases they may carry.

💡 The Science Basement ry is a group of early-career researchers sharing their excitement about researchand science communication.
Our mission is to create low-threshold opportunities to encourage and support all researchers across different fields to communicate their work, by providing them with a safe space to learn SciComm skills through our different platforms and projects. We aim to show that good communication skills can make you a better researcher by uncovering hidden assumptions and reorganising your ideas about your work, while exploring how to create and improve the dialogue between research and society.
