🌍 Climate scientist Friederike Otto is studying the impacts of climate change on extreme weather events. As a climate researcher she was one of the authors of the assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) and has shaped the still young field of attribution research, which examines the impact of global warming on specific extreme weather events. 'Attribution research reveals how climate change has already led to changes in our weather, like the fact that the flooding in Central Europe a month ago is no longer something that occurs just once in a century but at least twice as often. At the same time, it shows which people are losing their lives or their livelihoods - and why. Both types of information are essential if we are to become more resilient, while also showing just how incredibly expensive failures in climate policy already are and who is paying the price', the climate researcher explains.

📍 The American brain researcher Erin Schuman came to Germany with her husband in 2009. Together they set up two new departments at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt am Main. Besides her own research, Erin Schuman was keen to pursue another important goal. The institute’s new building was provided with an annex featuring a nursery, a baby changing room and a nursing room because she knew from her own experience as a scientist and mother just how difficult it can be for women in #research: if they stop working for too long to care for their children they will get left behind and no longer keep pace with current research. Schuman was determined that her future colleagues would not be forced to choose between an academic career and a family. At the same time, she campaigned to increase the proportion of women in leading scientific positions. 🤝
