Portuguese Comic Reading

This event will be held in Portuguese. Join us for an interactive comic reading with live music. Science communicator Joana Ferreira and biologist Catarina Correia Tavares Bernardino will read a detective story from LUX:plorations while Pedro de Almeida Cardoso plays the guitar. After the reading you can ask the scientist anything in an open Q&A format – about the comic, the science behind it or life as a researcher.

18.30 – Find a seat, grab a drink and enjoy the Portuguese live music

19.00 – Comic reading following a Q&A

Registration is not needed but recommended to help us better plan the catering.

The newest volume of LUX:plorations features stories about space, anxiety, dyslexia, sustainability in construction, science education, neurobiology and cancer – all research topics from Luxembourg. They have been created in collaboration between doctoral candidates in Luxembourg and local comic artists. LUX:plorations is available for free and in five different languages. Pick up a Portuguese copy of the comic during the event or download it now via sciencecomics.uni.lu.

The project is supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), the André Losch Fondation, the Doctoral School in Humanities and Social Sciences (DSHSS), the Doctoral School in Science and Engineering (DSSE) as well as the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM). LUX:plorations is a DESCOM project.
