Longevity, superfoods, dietary supplements and wellness promise a longer and healthier life. But what is scientifically proven, what remains speculation, and where does marketing come into play?

As part of the pop-up exhibition ‘Your Life.Your Genes.’, experts from different disciplines will discuss the latest findings on the influence of lifestyle and the environment on our health. The focus is on how diet, exercise and other behaviours affect our health, and what role epigenetics plays in this.

Topics are: Based on current scientific understanding, which factors contribute to a healthy life? What opportunities does a mindful lifestyle offer, and can its effects even be felt across generations? How can scientifically sound knowledge be distinguished from health claims? And what role does science itself play in this debate – does it contribute to clarity or also to uncertainty?
