Three researchers present short talks examining science across radically different scales. Alexander Battey, a postdoctoral researcher in plasma physics at EPFL and the Swiss Plasma Center, explains the plasma state and the challenges of achieving controlled fusion. Henriette Rødland, a postdoctoral researcher at the ARCAN Laboratory (UNIGE), shows how small archaeological finds in Zanzibar reveal broad social histories and trade networks. Baba Ekundayo, senior scientist and wet‑lab manager at the Laboratory of Biological Electron Microscopy (EPFL), introduces the molecular machines that copy DNA.
