AskDifferent #28 – Recent years have taught us that diseases can easily transcend national borders in today's interconnected world. How can we secure health on a global scale, especially when there are such stark disparities between different regions? Beate Kampmann is one of the leading researchers into childhood tuberculosis and vaccines, and Scientific Director of the Center for Global Health at Charité - Universitätsmedizin. A physician with a wealth of international experience, Kampmann aims to tackle the idea of global health investments as a form of humanitarian aid and change the understanding of this vital field - especially by broadening the perspective of the Global North. In this thought-provoking episode of #askdifferent, Beate Kampmann explores the multifaceted challenges and opportunities for Global Health and offers insights into how to foster progress by stressing the importance of its character as a collaborative networking activity.

AskDifferent #27 – What is going on in babies' minds? What do they think and feel? Jessica Kosie and Martin Zettersten are not only looking for answers to these questions - they are cooperating with more than 200 scientists in 40 countries to define the fundamentals needed to establish research globally. The challenges they face are not easy to solve: Since babies are unable to speak, they cannot answer our questions directly. In this episode of #AskDifferent, the Einstein Foundation Award 2021 winners talk about finding ways around that obstacle, what we can learn from studying babies' attention, their gazes and preferences, and how parents and adults can benefit from that knowledge.

The Einstein Foundation will invest two million euro in a new fellowship programme to deepen academic links across the Channel between Oxford University and the Berlin University Alliance. The focus is on two of the biggest challenges of our time: global health and social cohesion.

Blick in den Sternenhimmel

Is there life on other planets in the universe? Or does it only exist on Earth? These are some of mankind's oldest questions. Today we dispose of technologies that might help to answer them. Andreas Elsaesser and Riccardo Urso from Freie Universität Berlin study the conditions for life in space and on other planets.

AskDifferent #26 – Are we alone in space? What could extraterrestrial life forms look it? And how do we find them? These questions are almost as old as mankind itself. Natural Scientist and former Einstein International Postdoctoral Fellow Riccardo Giovanni Urso tries to answer them every day. In this episode of #AskDifferent, he talks about his scientific journeys through space, basic ingredients for life, and why he would love to be onboard a mission to mars.
