“Fizzics of Pints and Bubbly Drinks”
 

Ale, pilsner, or nitro? Chardonnay or Champagne? Dissolved gases completely change our sensory experience due to a cascade of intertwined chemical and physical properties. Moreover, innovations in fluid mechanics are leading to better food since ancient history, while creativity in cooking inspires applied and fundamental science. In this talk, I will discuss how recent advances in hydrodynamics are changing food science, and how the surprising phenomena that arise in the kitchen lead to discoveries and technologies across the disciplines.
