Of the over 400 climate scenarios assessed in the 1.5°C report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), only around 50 scenarios avoid significantly overshooting 1.5°C. Of those only around 20 make realistic assumptions on mitigation options, for instance the rate and scale of carbon removal from the atmosphere or extent of tree planting, a new study shows. All 20 scenarios need to pull at least one mitigation lever at challenging rather than reasonable levels.

How the Berlin Natural History Museum is tackling its colonial past
The Naturkundemuseum wants to launch a new international excavation at the site where the Berlin dinosaurs were found in Tanzania. Maritta Tkalec, 25.4.2021 - 16:14 Uhr

Berlin - Who are the rightful owners of the dinosaur remains in the Natural History Museum? Does the Brachiosaurus, the largest reconstructed dinosaur skeleton in the world, really belong in Berlin? After all, the fossils lay buried in the soil of what is now Tanzania for 150 million years. The local population always knew the place was full of giant bones. The German mining engineer Bernhard Sattler, who prospected for mineral resources in Deutsch-Ostafrika (German East Africa) during the colonial period, was by no means the first to disco

Understanding spoken words, developing normal speech - cochlear implants enable people with profound hearing impairment to gain a great deal in terms of quality of life. However, background noises are problematic, they significantly compromise the comprehension of speech of people with cochlear implants. The team led by Tobias Moser from the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience and InnerEarLab at the University Medical Center Göttingen and from the Auditory Neuroscience and Optogenetics Laboratory at the German Primate Center - Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ) is therefore working to improve cochlear implants. The scientists want to use genetic engineering methods to make the nerve cells in the ear sensitive to light
