Dr Eivind Segtnan is part of the team behind Synaptic Science Solutions. During his PhD, Eivind worked towards the development of a method to test for brain diaschisis - where damage to an area of the brain effects other regions of the brain. Eivind also is part of a team that developed an app and an Artificial Intelligence that can help mass test for Covid19.

This episode is divided into two parts, the first 30 minutes is on brain diaschisis and the second half is on the Covid19 app. It was recorded live in front of an audience.

Five years ago, the Aage V. Jensen foundation deliberately flooded a piece of drained, coastal land at Gyldensteen on North Funen in Denmark. The dikes were opened in three places, the seawater flowed in and quickly covered a 214 ha area which had previously been agricultural land. Furthermore, a freshwater lake was created of 144 ha. Ever since, biologists from the University of Southern Denmark have followed the return of nature and observed how nutrients, greenhouse gases, flora and fauna in the wetlands have changed and developed ever since.

This intentional flooding can be used as a case study to see the effects of sea-level rise.

Professor in cultural sociology Ian Woodward, and PhD researcher in market anthropology, Signe Banke, are based at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), where they both work on the FestiVersities project.

FestiVersities is a multi-sited research project led by Professor Woodward from SDU. It is funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) Joint Research programme under the Horizon 2020 scheme Public Spaces: Culture and Integration in Europe (2019-2022). The project critically interrogates the relationship between culture, public space and social integration in music festivals in five European countries.

In this episode, we discuss how Covid-19 has affected their research. Read more about the project at https://www.festiversities.com/ or follow on twitter; @FestiVersities @Ianswoodward @SigneBanke @Science_Beers
