What does it mean to have a healthy, happy brain? Especially in the current climate, where our lifestyles are changing dramatically and our movements are being restricted, getting to know the factors that affect our brain function and the things we can actively do to improve it is crucial. Written in an accessible and engaging way for the nonscientist, this will be a comprehensive and up-to-date look at our current understanding, what a fast-changing field it is and how much we still don't know when it comes to disorders of the brain.

In this fascinating foray into the centuries-old relationship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and writer-researcher Avis Lang examine how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. "The overlap is strong, and the knowledge flows in both directions," say the authors, because astrophysicists and military planners care about many of the same things: multi-spectral detection, ranging, tracking, imaging, high ground, nuclear fusion, and access to space. Tyson and Lang call it a "curiously complicit" alliance.

Die Psyche des Menschen ist äußerst komplex. Allerdings bestimmt sie maßgeblich unser Erleben von Zufriedenheit, sodass wir tagtäglich mehr oder weniger bewusst mit unterschiedlichen psychologischen Themen konfrontiert werden (z.B. Partnerschaft, Liebe, Entscheidungen, Stressmanagement). So stieg in den vergangenen Jahren die Anzahl an populärwissenschaftlichen Beiträgen von denen man manchmal gar nicht so genau weiß wie viel Wahrheit dahinter steckt. Was ist Glaube? Was ist Mythos? Und was ist tatsächlich Wissen? In diesem Podcast möchten wir einen Überblick über das ...

Ein Jahr später standen sie jedoch einem unbesiegbaren Gegner gegenüber: Covid19. Der Traum des eigenen Kinofilms lag in Scherben. Nun, vier Jahre später, ist die Klimakrise aktueller denn ...

British food has changed remarkably in the last half century. As we have become wealthier and more discerning, our food has Europeanised (pizza is children's favourite food) and internationalised (we eat the world's cuisines), yet our food culture remains fragmented, a mix of mass 'ultra-processed' substances alongside food as varied and good as anywhere else on the planet. This book takes stock of the UK food system: where it comes from, what we eat, its impact, fragilities and strengths. It is a book on the politics of food.

The next fertile undiscovered frontier of science is the study of how the individual (you) naturally inhabit this universe. This topic speaks to the really interesting question of how any living individual came to be where you are in the form that you are.

Two questions guide this seven-year project: First, how can we approach the phenomenon, representation, and interpretation of total solar eclipses? Second, how can we heal the historical divide separating the natural sciences from the humanities, arts, history, music, and theology? The result of this interdisciplinary investigation into eclipses is an exciting look behind the scenes—into labs, archives, museums, studies, around fieldwork in astronomy, meteorology, animal behavior, and ecophysiology.
