What connects your DNA, your arteries, and the fluids flowing through your brain? Science – and your health. Join us for Night 3 (and the final evening) of Pint of Science Trondheim 2026, where three researchers explore how our bodies change over time, what shapes disease risk, and how hidden biological systems influence the way we function – often long before symptoms appear. Expect short, accessible talks, eye opening insights, and plenty of time for questions and informal discussion. No prior science knowledge needed; just curiosity, good company, and maybe a drink in hand.
Tonight’s talks:
🧬 What Our DNA Can Tell Us About Disease Risk
We share more than 99.9% of our DNA, but small differences can have big consequences. This talk explores how genetic variation helps explain why some people develop disease while others don’t.
❤️ How Not to Die Young? Lessons From Cardiovascular Engineering
Heart attacks and strokes don’t happen overnight. Long before symptoms appear, our arteries quietly age. Using engineering principles and pulse wave measurements, this talk shows how we might detect cardiovascular risk earlier by measuring the true age of our arteries.
🧠 Going With the Flow: How Fluids in the Brain Affect the Way You Function
Neurons don’t work alone. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid quietly shape how signals move through the brain, influencing everything from sleep and stress to hunger. Discover how these overlooked players guide brain function, revealed through studies of surprisingly informative fish models.

Doors open at 18h00

About Pint of Science:
Pint of Science is a global festival bringing scientists to your local pub to share their latest discoveries. We believe everyone should have the chance to meet the people behind the science that changes our lives.
