The police forces currently find themselves in the focus of public debate. This was triggered partly by the attacks on police officers in Stuttgart by rioting youths. For another part, police violence against blacks in the USA has also brought up the issue of racism in police work in Germany.

In this interview he talks about the different police cultures in the USA and Germany, about violence and de-escalation and possibilities to prevent discrimination.
Its foundations were laid as far back as the 19th century under the German Empire
MaxPlanckResearch 1/2012: Symbiosis – Partnerships for life: If dissimilar couples enter into a union for life, the relationship doesn’t necessarily have to fail. On the contrary: such partnerships have decisively shaped the evolution of our planet. Max Planck researchers are examining symbioses in animals and plants and keep discovering fascinating details. Bacteria, for example, produce protective antibiotics for insect larvae or help deep sea muscle in the provision of energy.

The airborne infrared observatory Sofia for the first time detected the atomic 18O isotope in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere of Earth. Their measurements are an important step in the understanding of how biological processes permeate Earth’s atmosphere and could help to refine the search for potential signs of life in exoplanet atmospheres.
