Café Scientifique - 'Food for thought?'

What makes certain foods so enjoyable and others so broadly disliked? Can our appetite be controlled? How might other factors such as our environment affect our enjoyment of food? Professor John Blundell will explore the relationship between our appetite and food choice and find out how much factors such as physical activity and energy balance can affect the amount we eat.

Professor John Blundell is Chair of Psychobiology and Director of the Human Appetite Research Unit at the University of Leeds.

Café Scientifique events aim to provide a forum for the debate and discussion of scientific ideas, audience participation is strongly encouraged. Food and drink will be available to purchase throughout the event. Admission will be on a first-come-first-served basis.

This event is part of the 2012 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition
