...with Ann-Kathrin Krause In this episode, Ann-Katrin Krause, a PhD student in educational psychology at the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education in Frankfurt, discusses her research on the role of habits in students' learning strategy use, exploring why students often default to ineffective strategies like rereading despite knowing better alternatives exist. The conversation covers how environmental cues trigger habitual behaviours, the distinction between automaticity and effectiveness, and practical strategies like habit stacking and if-then planning. Ann-Katrin also highlights how teachers can foster effective study habits by embedding strategies into classroom routines.

Why have the histories of work and the histories of welfare been told separately, and what happens when we bring them together? In this episode of the Transformative Podcast, Alexandra Ghiț (GWZO Leipzig) focuses on domestic servants, social workers, and users of welfare in interwar Bucharest to argue that “histories of welfare provision are histories of work, and histories of work are histories of welfare provision.” She tells Rosamund Johnston (RECET) how welfare provision has historically been gendered, how this has changed over time, and how a locally-specific but transnationally-connected form of “austerity welfare work” was developed by unpaid and paid, formal and informal workers alike in Depression-era Bucharest. Alexandra Ghiț is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO), Leipzig. She is the author of Welfare Work Without Welfare: Women and Austerity in Interwar Bucharest (De Gruyter Brill, 2025). Ghiț is an editor of the 2024 volume, Through the Prism of Gender and Work: Women's Labour Struggles in Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond, 19th and 20th Centuries (Brill, 2024), and the author of numerous articles in Aspasia, The European Review of History, and International Labor and Working Class History.

Astronomy Daily — S05E55 | 6 March 2026 Six stories today covering planetary defence, a cosmic laser record, a solar superstorm on Mars, space debris pollution, a mystery satellite launch, and the most charming farming experiment you'll hear about all year.   Stories This Episode 1. Asteroid 2024 YR4 — Moon Impact Officially Ruled Out NASA has confirmed, using the James Webb Space Telescope, that infamous asteroid 2024 YR4 will not hit the Moon in 2032. The space rock — once the most dangerous asteroid identified in two decades — will instead pass the Moon at a distance of around 13,200 miles. It previously held a 4% lunar impact probability, now fully eliminated thanks to Webb's extraordinary sensitivity pushing it to the limits of what the telescope can observe.   2. MeerKAT Detects Cosmic 'Gigalaser' 8 Billion Light-Years Away South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope has spotted the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever detected — a natural 'space laser' in a galaxy undergoing a violent collision more than 8 billion light-years away. The signal is so powerful it qualifies as a gigamaser. Adding to the serendipity, the signal was further amplified by a foreground galaxy acting as a gravitational lens on its 8-billion-year journey to Earth. The discovery points toward the future capability of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA).   3. ESA's Mars Orbiters Record Solar Superstorm Hitting Mars A new Nature Communications study reveals what happened when the record-breaking May 2024 solar superstorm hit Mars. ESA's Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter recorded unprecedented electron density spikes in the Martian upper atmosphere — up to 278% above normal — and both spacecraft experienced computer glitches from the energetic particles. The study uses a novel spacecraft-to-spacecraft radio occultation technique and highlights how Mars's lack of a global magnetic field leaves it vulnerable to solar events in ways that Earth is not.   4. SpaceX Falcon 9 Re-entry Directly Linked to Atmospheric Lithium Plume For the first time, scientists have directly tied a specific rocket re-entry to a measurable atmospheric pollution event. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics detected a tenfold spike in lithium vapour in the upper atmosphere — from 3 to 31 atoms per cubic centimetre — in the hours following the uncontrolled re-entry of a Falcon 9 upper stage off Ireland in February 2025. Eight thousand backward atmospheric simulations confirmed the connection. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, the paper raises important questions about the growing chemical footprint of the commercial space industry.   5. Rocket Lab Launches Mystery Satellite — 'Insight at Speed is a Friend Indeed' Rocket Lab completed its 83rd Electron launch from New Zealand, deploying a single satellite for a confidential commercial customer to an orbit 470 km above Earth. The company announced the mission just hours before liftoff, offering no further details on the customer or the payload's purpose.   6. Scientists Grow Chickpeas in Simulated Moon Dirt for First Time Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University have successfully grown and harvested chickpeas in simulated lunar regolith — the first time this has ever been achieved. Using a combination of vermicompost (worm castings) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to condition the otherwise toxic, sterile moon dirt, the team produced flowering, seed-bearing plants in soil mixtures of up to 75% regolith simulant. The chickpeas have not yet been cleared for eating pending metal accumulation testing — but the team's goal of 'moon hummus' is, apparently, very much alive.   Find Us:  astronomydaily.io  |  @AstroDailyPod on all platforms Subscribe & Review:  Apple Podcasts · Spotify · YouTube · everywhere you listenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

In February 2026, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty bilateral between Russia and the United States is set to expire. The aim of the New START agreement was to reduce and limit the number of strategic nuclear warheads, but once this treaty comes to an end it means there will no longer be rules on the cap of these nuclear weapons. The legal provisions in the treaty for a one-time five-year extension, were used in 2021. The multilateral Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is still in place, to which 190 countries are signatories. The general idea behind the NPT was for nuclear countries to reduce their stockpiles of nuclear weapons, with the goal of complete disarmament. Whilst those countries without nuclear weapons would commit to not pursuing them. In 1995 the members agreed to extend the treaty indefinitely, but it is not without its challenges. Four nuclear powers sit outside the NPT and there are rifts between the non-nuclear and nuclear states. So, on The Inquiry this week we're asking, ‘Is nuclear disarmament set to self-destruct?'Contributors: Hermann Wentker, Professor of Modern History, University of Potsdam and Head of Berlin Research Department, The Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History, Germany Alexandra Bell, President and CEO, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, USA Mike Albertson, arms-control expert, former negotiator on New START arms reduction treaty, USA Nathalie Tocci, Professor of Practice, Johns Hopkins SAIS (School of Advanced International Studies), ItalyPresenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Evie Yabsley Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Editor: Tom Bigwood(Photo: Deck of the nuclear submarine Saphir.

The African turquoise killifish, also called Nothobranchius furzeri, is a small, vibrant freshwater species that is making a big splash in aging research. With our aging populations, research into aging and the mechanisms underlying age-related health issues is increasingly important. Scientists in this valuable field prize the killifish because it has a significantly short lifespan at just six to twelve months, making it an ideal model to study age-related diseases. However, as research on this species grows, so does the need for better care and monitoring of their health. In fact, distinguishing between the natural effects of aging and other health issues in these fish, such as pathogens or disease, is crucial in accurately researching age-related phenomena. Moreover, identifying health issues in laboratory fish could help researchers to better maintain health in their fish stocks, improving both experimental results and animal welfare. This is where Dr. Beate Hoppe and her colleagues at the Leibniz Institute on Aging at the Fritz Lipmann Institute, Jena, Germany, step in, pioneering a comprehensive approach to monitoring and managing killifish health that could revolutionize laboratory fish research.

Neoliberalism has so many meanings that some say it has no meaning. Nailing down a consensus is also hampered by the fact that no one calls themselves a “neoliberal.” There's even calls to abandon the term altogether since it's become more a slur than doctrine needing analysis. Enter Max Trecker. He took the debate over neoliberalism as an opportunity to investigate its intellectual origins in the 1920s and 1930s. What did it mean then? What was neoliberal thought a reaction to? And what would those neoliberals think today? Also, in this interview, Max talks about an additional project: How Ukraine has been imagined as an economic space. It's an issue not only of historical import, but enormous relevance today as Ukraine plans its postwar future.Guest:Max Trecker is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the History Department at the University of Pittsburgh and an economic historian and postdoctoral researcher at the Leibniz Institute for History and Culture of Eastern Europe in Leipzig, Germany. He's the author of Red Money for the Global South: East-South Economic Relations in the Cold War published by Routledge.Send us your sounds! PatreonKnotty News Hosted on Acast.

Big data and strategic collaborations are the way of future when it comes to solving genetic challenges in the beef business. This episode covers work that is happening now to inform tools of the future. Christine Baes gives a peak into a multi-disciplinary project she works with on behalf of the Canadian dairy industry, and Andre Garcia draws parallels to what could be possible in the U.S. beef industry. Fertility, efficiency and methane emissions are among the traits that could see new ways for selection pressure in the future.  HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Kelli Retallick-Riley  GUESTS:  Christine Baes, department head and Canada Research Chair in Livestock Genomics for the University of Guelph, was born and raised on a dairy farm in Southwestern Ontario. She has a bachelor's degree from Guelph, a master's in animal welfare from Universität Hohenheim, and a PhD in quantitative genetics from the Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology and the Christian Albrechts Universität zu Kiel in Germany. She and her team are involved in various large-scale livestock breeding projects (swine, horses, dairy cattle, goats) and bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application of new knowledge. Baes has extensive knowledge in the areas of quantitative genetics and statistical genomics as it relates to the genetic and genomic evaluation of livestock.  In her spare time, she runs a small farm outside of Maryhill.

In this interview, Martin Bauch, the leader of a group researching medieval climate history and climate change at the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) in Leipzig, discusses his research into the eruption of the Samalas volcano in 1257 in Indonesia.  Based on a wide range of information sources, including chronicles from Europe, the Middle East and the Far East, dendrochronology and ice-core dating, Martin explains how this massive eruption had an impact on world-wide climate patterns over several years.  Martin's focus is on central and southern Europe, and here he demonstrates how the shifting climate influenced economics, trading patterns, public health and potentially even the design of cultural artefacts. The effect of the Samalas eruption was noted throughout the world, often, but not always, with a negative impact. As many of the changes wrought by the eruption and subsequent change of weather patterns were long term or permanent, Martin describes this as a truly global moment in the Middles Ages.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Medieval Studies.

The role of the arts during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), which devastated large parts of Europe, lies at the heart of an international exhibition at the House of European History. The exhibition Bellum et Artes (War and Art) demonstrates how the warring parties used the arts as a propaganda tool and to show off their power. In the midst of a brutal war that cost millions of lives, works of art became ambassadors of peace. Bellum et Artes is part of a Europe-wide cooperation involving a dozen institutions from seven countries. The project is led by the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) and the Dresden State Art Collections (SKD). Curator Jitka Mlsova describes what the visitor will experience. https://historia.europa.eu/en/exhibitions-events/temporary-exhibitions Through 12 January 2025

Une équipe internationale de chercheurs du Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology en Allemagne s'est servie de la fibre optique pour mettre au point un concept assez fascinant : un ordinateur sans circuit électronique. Et les résultats de ce projet sont assez fascinants, comme il est possible de le lire dans la revue Advanced Science, dont le lien est dans la description de cet épisode.Alors comment fonctionne cet ordinateur ? Les images et sons transitent à l'intérieur du PC sous forme d'impulsions lumineuses qui changent de couleurs en voyageant à travers la fibre. L'ordinateur analyse ensuite ces combinaisons de couleurs pour comprendre et classifier l'information rapidement avec une très haute précision. Autre avantage indéniable de cette découverte : une réduction considérable de l'énergie nécessaire pour faire fonctionner l'ordinateur. En effet, l'absence de nombreux composants électroniques permet de réduire cette consommation, entre autres. Pour plus de détails, je vous invite à vous plonger dans le passionnant article d'Advance Science en description de cet épisode, bien qu'il soit assez technique et surtout en anglais. Reste désormais à quantifier l'économie d'énergie que ce système permet.Quoiqu'il en soit, cette trouvaille a déjà le potentiel pour être implémentée dans les architectures d'ordinateurs actuelles. En théorie, ce système à base de fibre serait capable de se charger d'opérations de calcul très complexes, qui étaient plutôt l'apanage d'ordinateurs très puissants il y a encore peu de temps. Et cela, en utilisant une fraction seulement de l'énergie nécessaire dévorée par les ordinateurs actuels. Les chercheurs à la base de l'étude imaginent même pouvoir appliquer cette technologie à des appareils portables à l'avenir, comme des tablettes ou des smartphones.Article Advance Science : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.202303835 Hébergé par Acast.

Scientists in Berlin announced recently the first successful embryo transfer in a white rhinoceros.柏林的科学家最近宣布首次在白犀牛身上成功进行胚胎移植。The transfer, which occurred in a southern white rhinoceros, offers hope for saving the northern white rhino from completely dying off.这次发生在南方白犀牛身上的转移，为拯救北方白犀牛免于完全灭绝带来了希望。The white rhinoceros includes two different subspecies, the northern and the southern. The last male northern white rhino died in 2018. Only two female members of the subspecies remain. Neither of them can carry a baby.白犀牛包括两个不同的亚种：北方和南方。 最后一头雄性北方白犀牛于 2018 年死亡。该亚种只剩下两只雌性成员。 他们俩都不能带孩子。Southern white rhinos are more numerous.南方白犀牛数量较多。Researchers hope to use eggs and sperm from northern white rhinos to produce embryos that will be put into southern white rhino surrogate mothers.研究人员希望利用北方白犀牛的卵子和精子产生胚胎，并将其放入南方白犀牛代孕母亲体内。A surrogate is something that performs the duties of something else.代理人是履行其他职责的事物。To test the plan, scientists said they transferred the embryo of a southern white rhino into a surrogate southern white rhino mother at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya on September 24, 2023.为了测试该计划，科学家表示，他们于 2023 年 9 月 24 日将南方白犀牛的胚胎转移到肯尼亚奥尔佩杰塔保护区的南方白犀牛代孕母亲体内。However, the research team only learned of the pregnancy after the surrogate mother died of a bacterial infection in November 2023. The embryo was discovered during an examination of the body after death.然而，研究团队直到2023年11月代孕母亲因细菌感染死亡后才得知怀孕的消息。胚胎是在死后检查尸体时发现的。Even with the death, researchers found reasons to be hopeful.即使死亡，研究人员也找到了充满希望的理由。The international BioRescue team, a group backed by the German government, confirmed recently that the operation had produced a successful pregnancy of 70 days, with a well-developed 6.4-centimeter-long male embryo.德国政府支持的国际BioRescue团队最近证实，手术已成功怀孕70天，并拥有发育良好的6.4厘米长的雄性胚胎。"We achieved together something which was not believed to be possible," said Thomas Hildebrandt of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research.莱布尼茨动物园和野生动物研究所的托马斯·希尔德布兰特 (Thomas Hildebrandt) 表示：“我们共同实现了人们认为不可能的事情。”"That is really a milestone to allow us to produce northern white rhino calves in the next two, two and a half years," Hildebrandt said.希尔德布兰特说：“这确实是一个里程碑，让我们能够在未来两年、两年半内培育出北方白犀牛幼崽。”The northern white rhinoceros subspecies has only two known examples left in the world. The Ol-Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya says that Najin, a 34-year-old, and her 23-year-old offspring, Fatu, both cannot naturally reproduce.北方白犀牛亚种世界上仅存两个已知实例。 肯尼亚奥尔佩杰塔自然保护区表示，34 岁的纳金和她 23 岁的后代法图都无法自然繁殖。In 2018, the last male white rhino, Sudan, was 45 when he was euthanized because of age-related problems. He was Najin's father. Scientists stored his semen and that of four other dead rhinos.2018年，最后一头雄性白犀牛苏丹因年龄相关问题被安乐死，当时它已经45岁了。 他是纳金的父亲。 科学家储存了他的精液和其他四头死去的犀牛的精液。Some conservation groups have argued that it is probably too late to save the northern white rhino using the method known as in vitro fertilization.一些保护组织认为，使用体外受精的方法来拯救北方白犀牛可能为时已晚。The species once lived in Chad, Sudan, Uganda, Congo and Central African Republic, but human conflict has caused the creature to disappear. Critics say the efforts made to save the northern white rhino should instead go to save at-risk species that have a better chance to survive.该物种曾经生活在乍得、苏丹、乌干达、刚果和中非共和国，但人类冲突导致该生物消失。 批评者表示，拯救北方白犀牛的努力应该去拯救那些有更好生存机会的濒危物种。About 20,000 southern white rhinos remain in Africa. That subspecies and another species, the black rhino, are increasing in number after illegal hunting nearly caused their disappearance.非洲仍有约 20,000 头南方白犀牛。 该亚种和另一个物种黑犀牛的数量在非法狩猎几乎导致其消失后正在增加。

Männer und Frauen sind gleichberechtigt, heißt es im Grundgesetz. Doch Rechte allein machen nicht glücklich. Rund um dieses Problem kreisen die Diskussionen zur Ungleichbezahlung von Männern und Frauen – aber auch zum Ungleichgewicht beim Vermögensaufbau.Die private Vermögensbildung und Vermögensverteilung ist ein essentieller Stabilitätsfaktor für ein Finanzsystem, sagt Professorin Christine Laudenbach, die im Frankfurter House of Finance am Leibniz-Institut SAFE zu Finanzen privater  Haushalte forscht. Sie ist überzeugt, dass die Vermögensfragen in Privathaushalten auch die Gesellschaft prägen. Viele Ursachen für die finanzielle Ungleichheit von Männern und Frauen seien überholten Glaubenssätzen geschuldet. Über Geld spricht man nicht, das sei Gift für die Finanzbildung, so die Wissenschaftlerin. Wie man diese Hürden ganz pragmatisch überwinden kann, darüber spricht sie auf dem Campus vor dem House of Finance – für sie der Finanzplatz am Finanzplatz im Podcast „Mein Finanzplatz“.

Social-Media-Kommunikation wird – im Positiven, wie im Negativen – für vieles verantwortlich gemacht. Grund genug also, dass wir uns in der #CAISzeit mit der Forschung im Social-Media-Bereich beschäftigen. Zu Gast sind heute mit Dr. Katrin Weller und Dr. Johannes Breuer zwei ausgewiesene Expert:innen. Die beiden arbeiten am GESIS – Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften und bauen gleichzeitig am CAIS die Abteilung „Research Data and Methods“ auf, die sich um Fragen rund um digitale Forschungsdaten und Methoden kümmert. Mit ihnen sprechen wir darüber, warum es notwendig ist, Social-Media-Plattformen zu erforschen und wie dabei vorgegangen wird. Außerdem diskutieren wir, wie problematisch eingeschränkte Datenzugänge z.B. auf Twitter, neuerdings X, für die Forschung sind. Und ob der Digital Services Act, der vor Kurzem in Kraft getreten ist, helfen kann.

GUEST: Kateryna Busol - Ukrainian lawyer, Senior lecturer and Robert Bosch Stiftung fellow at Chatham House. ---------- Calls to treat as legitimate the ‘security concerns' raised by Russia, and to account for these in a future settlement of the war in Ukraine, disregard the fact that Moscow's requirements are fundamentally incompatible with European security. Proponents of a settlement in the war on Ukraine often put forward the idea that Russian ‘security concerns' must be taken into account in any such settlement, but also in broader revisions to the European security system. These proposals echo the Russian information campaign over the past 30 years to persuade European publics that there can be ‘no security in Europe without Russia'. They provide false support to the argument that Western security policy after the collapse of the USSR unnecessarily encroached on core Russian interests by expanding NATO and forcing Moscow to militarize its foreign policy. In this telling, Russia was merely challenging what it viewed as an unjust European security order. ---------- SPEAKER: Kateryna Busol is a Ukrainian lawyer. She is a senior lecturer at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and a fellow at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law. Kateryna has worked on various issues relating to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, with a particular focus on the weaponization of cultural heritage, conflict-related sexual violence, reparations, and Ukraine's transitional justice process. She has worked with the Clooney Foundation for Justice, UN Women, the Global Survivors Fund and Global Rights Compliance. Kateryna has collaborated with Ukrainian NGOs such as the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union and Truth Hounds and has advised Ukrainian prosecutors and judges on war-related proceedings. She was a visiting researcher at the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies, a Robert Bosch Stiftung fellow at Chatham House, and a visiting professional at the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. ---------- LINKS: https://www.biicl.org/people/kateryna-busol https://www.ukma.edu.ua/eng/index.php/studies/departments/faculty-of-law/international-law/staff/61-dr-kateryna-busol https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateryna-busol-68b4271a9/ https://twitter.com/KaterynaBusol ---------- SUMMARY: Moscow's war of reconquest against Ukraine has confirmed in the most brutal terms how Russia rejects the values underpinning European security – the same values agreed between Moscow and the West at the end of the Cold War. As a revisionist power, Russia has made itself the primary obstacle to peace and security in Europe and beyond. For stability to be restored and protected, it is essential that the outcome of the war in Ukraine leads to a situation in which – in addition to the expulsion of occupying forces – the exercise of Russian power is contained rather than encouraged. Over time, Russia's leadership must also be persuaded to renounce its expansionist ambitions. It's now or never for Ukraine. A protracted or frozen conflict benefits Russia and hurts Ukraine, as does a ceasefire or negotiated settlement on Russia's terms. If Ukraine is to avoid these outcomes and turn tenacious defence and incremental battlefield gains into outright victory, it needs far more ambitious international military assistance than it has received to date. This report presents the case for an immediate and decisive increase in such support, seeks to dispel overhyped concerns about provoking Russia, and counsels against accommodating Moscow's demands. ---------- #katerynabusol #chathamhouse #ukraine #ukrainewar #russia #zelensky #putin #propaganda #war #disinformation #hybridwarfare #foreignpolicy #communism #sovietunion #postsoviet ----------

In this age of climate change, habitat loss, and destruction of the natural world, we take an in-depth look at one endangered species in particular: the northern white rhino. Just two females remain in the world and neither are capable of carrying a pregnancy. With such constraints in place, we ask the experts if it's possible to save a species on the very brink of extinction. Host Eleanor Higgs spoke with Dr Susanne Holtze from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research to discuss if and how it might be possible to use genetics research to save the northern white rhino from extinction and whether we should even try.

Co-host Michael Chui talks with economist Hans-Helmut Kotz who is a visiting professor of economics at Harvard University, a senior policy fellow at the Leibniz Institute for financial research at Goethe University, Frankfurt, and on the economics faculty of Freiburg University. Kotz covers topics including the following: Parallels between the 2007–09 global financial crisis and today's financial turbulence. The balance that banking regulators need to strike to protect the economy but encourage innovation. Being prepared by taking eclectic perspectives.

Between September 2022 and February 2023, eight cheetahs from Namibia and 12 from South Africa were translocated to India as part of an initiative to reintroduce the species in India, where it had gone extinct in the 1950s. The animals were released in the 748 sq km Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh, and seemed to be doing well until, within a span of a month, two out of the 20 cheetahs died. Furthermore, one of the cheetahs was spotted in a village outside the national park area, sparking fears of cheetah-human conflict. The Madhya Pradesh Forest Department has asked the Centre for an “alternate” site for the cheetahs, citing lack of logistical support and space. Meanwhile, scientists from the Cheetah Research Project of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Berlin, have published a letter in the journal, Conservation Science and Practice, stating that the translocation did not take into consideration the spatial ecology of cheetahs, as a result of which the animals are bound to come into conflict with people in the neighbouring villages. So, how serious is the problem of space for the cheetahs at the Kuno National Park? And what does wildlife science tell us about the spatial ecology of cheetahs? We speak with one of the scientists behind the letter on the spatial ecology of the translocated cheetahs, Dr Bettina Wachter, head of the Cheetah Research Project and a senior scientist at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW), Berlin. 

In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Sebastian Goetze on his and his team's discovery of fungi-killing compounds, which they subsequently named after the famous actor Keanu Reeves. (You can read the study here in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.)While the study has created a lot of buzz for being named after Keanu, in the podcast, Dr. Goetze will describe the need for anti-fungals, particularly in a world experiencing an "anitmicrobial crisis." He will walk us through how they discovered the compounds, break down the chemistry, and teach us what "gene mining" means. He will discuss how these "Keanumycins" may be beneficial for our health (and the Earth's health), the difficult process of developing an anti-fungal drug, safety issues, and answer a question a lot of folks have: why/how he and his team named the compounds after Keanu and not John Wick. He'll end the podcast by describing future avenues of research. Dr. Goetze is a scientist at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology.

Digital humanities are a hot topic nowadays, but what about digital linguistics? How can digital language data be used in other areas of research? To tackle these complex questions, we invited Prof. Andreas Witt and Dr. Darja Fišer to talk to us about De Gruyter's new series “Digital Linguistics” and its first volume “CLARIN. The Infrastructure for Language Resources,” which the two co-edited. Andreas Witt is Professor of Computational Humanities and Text Technologies at the University of Mannheim and heads the department of Digital Linguistics at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim. Furthermore, he is the series editor of “Digital Linguistics”. Darja Fišer is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana and Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Knowledge Technologies, Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana. She has recently been appointed CLARIN Vice Executive Director. With De Gruyter Acquisitions Editor Svetoslava Antonova Baumann, they talked about their motivation for publishing the book, the use of language data outside of linguistics, as well as the importance of the diversity of languages and language resources for the digital humanities.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enAs acting president, elected president, prime minister, and then president again, Vladimir Putin has now ruled Russia for almost 23 years. And it doesn't look like he plans to retire any time soon. Following amendments to the Russian constitution in 2020, Putin is now able to run in two more presidential elections. This means he could potentially remain in power until 2036, at which point he'll be turning 83.  Putin is indeed getting old, and ever since he ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, there's been a lot of speculation about his future. With his seventieth birthday coming up on October 7, reports and rumors about the state of Putin's health abound. But death by old age is probably years (if not decades) away for a man whose physical survival is one of Russia's greatest national security priorities. Of course, no one lives forever, and just like Mikhail Gorbachev and Queen Elizabeth II, Vladimir Putin will one day pass away. But what if he dies suddenly, while still in office? What happens then? The Naked Pravda turns to three experts for insights into the potential domestic and global consequences of Putin's death. Timestamps for this episode: (6:08) Fabian Burkhardt, a post-doctoral Research Associate at the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies, on how Putin's death would impact Russia's domestic politics — and political elites — in the short term.  (16:04) Ronald Grigor Suny, the William H. Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History and a Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan, on the death of Stalin and the Soviet Union's transfer of power problem.  (25:06) Domitilla Sagramoso, Senior Lecturer in Security and Development in the Department of War Studies at King's College London, on Putin's foreign policy legacy and what it means for the future trajectory of Russia's relations with the wider world. 

Michael discusses with Catherine Pérez Vega the question: Is light a pollutant? Catherine is researching the effects of artificial light on organisms and there is little doubt that it is. And there's little doubt that it affects the organisms called humans, as well. Obviously modern society needs some artificial light at night, but all the other organisms don't. As Catherine says, “how do we apply artificial lighting for our benefit, but at the same time take care of the night time?” Catherine is currently a Doctoral candidate in Biology at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany with her research taking place at the Light Pollution and Ecophysiology research group of Leibniz Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB). Her work involves the interphase of ecology and architectural lighting to mitigate environmental solutions for urban lighting design applications.

The marine environment houses complex types of ecosystems that provide vital services and habitat to aquatic life. Areas of the seafloor where rocky outcrops are present, such as reefs and gravel beds, are some of the rarest marine habitats. Also known as ‘hard substrate habitats' these ecosystems are under increasing pressure from fishing, eutrophication, climate change, and coastal management. Though hard substrates are protected in the European Union, we are unable to manage them effectively because maps describing their location and dimensions are inaccurate. In a review paper, Dr Svenja Papenmeier [Sven-yah Pah-pan-my-er] of Germany's Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde summarises existing rules for mapping substrate habitats, and describes new and potentially ground-breaking mapping techniques.

Um dos apelos iniciais das criptomoedas, como o Bitcoin e Ethereum, era não dependerem de governos ou regulação. Mas qualquer negócio que cresce e começa a movimentar dinheiro de verdade atrai o interesse das autoridades para a cobrança de impostos, combate a lavagem de dinheiro e garantias para quem investe. O novo episódio do Big Data Venia, podcast sobre direito e tecnologia do JOTA, mostra como as autoridades brasileiras estão agido para regular o mercado de criptomoedas, da Receita Federal ao Banco Central, e como o Congresso agora entrou nesse jogo, com dois projetos de lei que avançam, na Câmara e no Senado, e podem mexer com o bolso de quem apostou nesse mercado. O episódio também trata do caso do Faraó do Bitcoin, preso pela acusação de montar um esquema de pirâmide que prometia 10% de retorno ao mês, e de iniciativas de mercado para aumentar a sensação de segurança de investidores, como gestoras reguladas que negociam fundos de cripto. Para tratar desses temas, o Big Data Venia recebe Rafael Bianchini, da diretoria de política monetária, do Banco Central do Brasil e professor da GV Law, Clara Iglesias Keller, do Leibniz Institute for Media Reserach e Ivar Hartmann,  do Insper. A apresentação e roteiro são de Iago Bolívar, do JOTA, e a edição de áudio e vídeo, de Raoni Arruda.

Most of my listeners are from the West and most of my listeners never had a chance to go to the front lines. Most of them never got the chance to see the destruction, the devastation or even the day to day of peoples and animals from around the world. We rely on the news, we rely on journalists but sometimes those reports come with bias and agendas.Today I'm joined by someone who is not just living on the front lines but studying large carnivores at the Ngorongoro Crater, the the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. There's been talks of plastic straws killing sea turtles and that if we ban them we can save the turtle. It's also been forecasted that we are in our planets 6th mass extinction phases. I talk with Arjun of the effects of climate change and the human footprint on the environment he works and the world as a whole.Arjun Dheer is a National Geographic Early Career grantee with a keen interest in the ecology, evolution, and conservation of large carnivores. He has worked in several field sites and countries in sub-Saharan Africa since 2013, with a particular focus on using behavioral and evolutionary ecology to promote conservation outcomes. Arjun joined the Ngorongoro Hyena Project of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin, Germany, as a PhD student in 2017. His project focuses on the mitigation of human-carnivore conflict in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. He bridges behavioral ecology with applied conservation biology by directly monitoring spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) clans and collaborating closely with the local Maasai community using a variety of field and laboratory techniques. His major aim is to understand the scope and drivers of conflict between the Maasai and large carnivores in the area and to relay rigorous, evidence-based scientific findings back to the local authorities, community members, and academic circles alike.Connect with ArjunTwitterInstagramFacebookThe Hyena ProjectNat GeoSupport us on PatreonWe offer tons (yes tons!) of extra content for as little as $2 - including an extra ad-free podcast each month.

Most other shows merely talk with these individuals.But talking with these people isn't enough for me.I want to live their unique story. To understand not only what they go through in their day to day, but also why they're doing it.
