Marca Wauben gives presentation about milk at local primary school
Marca Wauben, professor at the Faculty of Veterinary sciences, recently gave a presentation about alternatives for milk to pupils of primary school OBO Spoorzicht in Overvecht, Utrecht. Purpose of this initiative was to allow disadvantaged children to get acquainted with the university and sustainability subjects.
鈥淚 want to help bridge the gap between primary school and university鈥, says Wauben. 鈥淲ith my presentation, I gave the pupils insight in our scientific education and research and hopefully made them aware of their importance. My presentation was about milk. We try to understand which biological nano parts in milk are healthy and how these small parts effect our cells. If we figure out the health secrets of milk, we can come up with sustainable alternatives for the consumption of milk.鈥
