06/06/2022 | For all those who are curious and thirsty for knowledge, the Leibniz Association wants to make an exciting offer with the upcoming "Book a Scientist" on June 15, 2022: Book your exclusive, virtual conversation with Leibniz scientists! In such personal conversations, the researchers will provide insight into their topics and their everyday work, answer your individual questions and look forward to exchanging ideas with you.
What happens in the brain during and after work interruptions? How do international sanctions work? How does breast milk influence eating behaviour in adulthood? Can government regulation reduce hate online? What does Syria look like "after the war"? How should Germany and Europe shape their climate policy mix? And what help do I get at the resilience outpatient clinic?
In personal talks, our researchers will give you an insight into their topics and their everyday work, answer your individual questions and look forward to exchanging ideas with you.
What is an iron eater? Do girls read better than boys? Who are the "peoples" in the People's Republic of China? How can arable farming be digitally predicted? Why do many people volunteer in old age? How does catalysis help with climate protection? And what happens in the brain when we recall memories?
