What is really inherited beyond genes?
What remains of stress, diet, or physical training over generations? The Science Talk at the BLUE SQUARE of the Ruhr University Bochum opens an accessible entry to a fascinating topic of modern biology: epigenetic inheritance.
Epigenetics explained in simple terms
To kick off the new event series, Dr. Frank Paris explains what insights science has today about so-called inheritance of acquired characteristics. This raises the question of how environment and lifestyle influence biological processes and what limits research currently faces.
Science up close at BLUE SQUARE
The event combines scientific expertise with an open conversational atmosphere. Visitors experience current research up close, gain understandable insights into epigenetics, and can discuss their own questions directly with an experienced lecturer. No prior scientific knowledge is required.
Research, dialogue, and Bochum city life
The RUB Centre for City Futures invites all interested residents of Bochum to discover science as a lively event experience with the Science Talk. The organization focuses on accessible knowledge transfer, audience dialogue, and easy participation right in the heart of Bochum.
Conclusion: An evening for curious minds
The Science Talk offers an informative evening about genes, environment, and the open questions of epigenetic research. Those who want to experience current science in an understandable way and engage in conversation with an expert will find the right place at the BLUE SQUARE on November 5, 2026.
