It is hosted by the Forum für kritisches Denken, which has invited Prof. Dr. Stephan C. F. Neuhauss, Professor of Neurobiology and Dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Zurich. He shows how our colour vision evolved – with impressive abilities but also limitations and compromises. The very imperfections of our visual system offer clues to its origins; afterwards there is time for questions and discussion.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/zurich/events/kein-perfektes-design-73778/", "official_url": "https://kritisch-denken.ch/veranstaltungen/referate/kein-perfektes-design-was-das-menschliche-farbensehen-ueber-evolution-verraet", "image": "https://noky.io/images/5fe94829b741ef6a4291c28935a273e19215e222af92d343a0cb86fb2bf0682a-2000.webp"}, {"title": "AI-guided Protein Design for Biomedical Applications: Engineering Growth Factor Mimetics for Stem Cell Differentiation and Neuronal Regeneration", "start": "2026-11-18T12:00:00+01:00", "end": "2026-11-18T13:00:00+01:00", "place": "Y17 H05, Irchel Campus, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zürich", "address": "", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/biotechnology"], "description": "A talk on AI-guided protein design for biomedical applications: it is about engineering growth factor mimetics for stem cell differentiation and neuronal regeneration.
