Eating is a social activity that we often do in the company of others. But what does this actually do to our decisions? Eva Weingärtner from the Department of Environmental and Behavioral Economics is conducting research with colleagues on whether being observable by others causes us to make our food choices more sustainable, in order to present ourselves in a positive light. She shares red-hot results from her department's experimental research and offers insight into what interventions might help reinforce healthy and environmentally friendly eating in society.
A brown bag, filled with a delicious sandwich and a sweet from the Studierendenwerk, is available at the Pavilion Café (students €3, employees and guests €3.30).
Informal and casual is the format of the Brown Bag Lecture: In cooperation with the departments of the university and the Studierendenwerk, young scientists* present their research topic in entertaining short lectures - while the audience* relaxes and eats their American Sandwich from the brown paper bag. The entire breadth of research is represented and the presenters strengthen their science communication skills.
The event will take place as a Zoom meeting:
