Held once a month at various downtown locations like Sendai Mediatheque and Tohoku University's campuses, the 2-hour interactive event provides an opportunity for anyone who is interested, to attend a free lecture on the latest in science research, take part in experiments and chat with researchers, students and like-minded people over drinks. Running in tandem with the Science Café series is the similarly popular Liberal Arts Salon, fashioned after the social and intellectual gatherings of 17th and 18th century Europe. Started in 2009, the Liberal Arts Salon is held three times a semester. The events feature themes chosen from the university's wide range of liberal arts subjects, and provide participants with the opportunity to listen to a free lecture and engage in lively discussions. All lectures are held in the evening from 6:00 p.m.~7:45 p.m. Admission is free and there is no need to register. Everyone is welcome including Junior, High School and University students. Science Café Lecture 157 (ended) What causes cancer? Cells that constitute multicellular organisms all have the same gene. But cancer cells appear to be different. They are also not the only cells that can create tumors. In her lecture, Professor Nakayama explains how cancer develops and spreads. Professor Keiko Nakayama Graduate School of Medicine Date: Friday, October 26Time: 6:00 p.m.~7:45 p.m.Venue: Open Square, Sendai Mediatheque More about the Science Café's kickoff seminar here. Lecture 158 (ended) Insect pest control using synthetic pheromones Many insects use chemical substances, called pheromones, to communicate among themselves. Researchers believe that these pheromones might be used to control pests, reducing the need for insecticides. In his talk, Professor Kuwahara explains the chemical synthesis of insect pheromones and how they can be applied in pest control. Professor Shigefumi Kuwahara Graduate School of Agricultural Science Date: Friday, November 16Time: 6:00 p.m.~7:45 p.m.Venue: Learning Commons, First floor,Aobayama Commons, Aobayama Campus Lecture 159 (ended) Soft materials used in medical treatment In the same way that jelly contains a large amount of water, so do our bodies. In his lecture, Professor Yamamoto discusses how soft materials, like jelly, could potentially be used in medical treatment to reproduce bodily functions.
