Hear our researchers in UppTalk
UppTalk is a popular science seminar series via Zoom where you get to enjoy interesting seminars with researchers from Uppsala University every Tuesday at lunch.
The seminars revolve around relevant topics where the audience have the opportunity to ask questions to our researchers. UppTalk is a part of the Faculty for Science and Technology’s online education initiative for alumni and the general public.
All talks are recorded and published at the YouTube page of Uppsala University after editing and subtitling.
