Follow-up to the event Exzellent gefragt!
On July 18, 2024, scientists from the two Clusters of Excellence in Constance answered questions from the interested public at the Port of Constance. Dr. Christophe Bousquet and Jana Straßheim presented the “Collective Appetite” project at the event.
“When we think of food, we often think first of nutrition, nutrients or our health. But food is so much more. Above all, it is a moment that brings people together, brings them to the table and into conversation,” explains PhD student Jana Straßheim. As part of the team from the Psychological Assessment and Health Psychology working group at the Cluster of Excellence “Collective Behavior”, she is researching the influence that eating together has on our relationships, our behavior and our experiences.
A total of ten research teams were on hand in front of the Spiegelhalle at the port of Constance to present their research work to the interested public and answer questions. To give interested parties an overview of the topics, the Clusters of Excellence hired an artist to illustrate the scientifically complex content on posters and make it tangible.
