Lack of exercise threatens children's health

More digital instruction, less movement and encounters - the lockdown has a particular impact on children and young people. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology were able to show that children suffer mentally from the pandemic.

As dry and hot as never

Periods of drought have always existed. In recent years, however, they have been much more extreme than before, both in Germany and worldwide. Researchers expect this trend to continue. One reason for this is climate change.

The fastest data collector in the world

Regatta sailor Boris Herrmann has installed a mini-laboratory on his high-tech yacht "Seaexplorer" - and transmits information to ocean researchers during his races. The data helps to improve climate models.

“We can’t wait to combine our expertise”

The Helmholtz International Lab "Causal Cell Dynamics" is now collaborating with the AI research institute Mila from Canada. The goal: to understand cellular processes in the development of diseases with the help of Big Data and AI. Fabian Theis and Yoshua Bengio explain the idea.

Revolutionizing science with Big Data

Evaluating huge amounts of data requires intelligent algorithms - and interdisciplinary experts. The DASHH graduate school in Hamburg trains the next generation. Helmholtz is thus laying the foundation for using data science to find answers to the big questions of our time, such as climate change.

“We mustn’t focus solely on apocalyptic scenarios”

What the coronavirus pandemic has in common with climate change, how science communication should respond – and what opportunities are now emerging for the research community. Part two of the conversation between science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar and Helmholtz President Otmar D. Wiestler.
