Science and cooking: from haute cuisine to the science of soft matter Lecture & performance

Bubbles, droplets, fluid flows, phase transitions, molecular viscosity and elasticity. Welcome to the world of science and cooking! Every cook - whether a top chef or just a humble cook at home - uses these physical principles. This lecture uses food and cooking to explicate

fundamental principles in applied physics and engineering. Finally you will understand why it is so hard to cook a decent steak!

Prof. Michael Brenner, Glover Professor of Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics and Harvard College Professor.

There will be a live cooking demonstration by the Faculty Club Team.

In cooperation with Physics of Fluids group UT, Faculty Club and study associations Alembic and Arago.
