Uku Vainik will talk about the reasons why we tend to indulge in good food. We will also discuss whether sugar addiction exists and whether a sugar tax would make sense. Musical interludes during the science evening will be provided by Tartu Observatory's band. Barlova Science Nights take place once in a month.
