More women in top ranks in 2023

https://www.mpg.de/21664905/women-in-science

The Max Planck Society’s Voluntary Commitment (SVP) aims to achieve two primary objectives: increasing the representation of female scientists in leadership positions by one percentage point annually until 2030 and ensuring that each Max Planck Institute has at least one female director. A review of the 2023 data indicates progress towards these goals: the MPG successfully elevated the proportion of female scientists in newly appointed leadership roles (W3/female directors and W2/independent research group leaders). With appointment rates reaching 54.5% and 66% respectively, these figures notably surpass the MPG’s target benchmarks.

Small World of Words

https://www.mpg.de/22244784/small-world-of-words

Imagine the word „ice.“ Does it conjure images of your nearest ice cream shop, hot summer days, or perhaps the slick surfaces of winter roads? These varied associations highlight the complex ways words are woven into the fabric of our memories. A team spearheaded by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development is mapping out the organization of words within the mental lexicon across different age groups, employing an association game.

Humans Struggle to Identify Aggression in Dogs, Other Humans

https://www.mpg.de/19625800/1207-wisy-humans-struggle-to-identify-aggression-in-dogs-other-humans-9347732-x

Being able to tell if someone else, whether human or animal, is happy with us, about to get aggressive, or even paying attention, can have major evolutionary advantages. Now, a new study led by the DogStudies research group at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, reveals that while humans are better than chance at assessing interactions between humans, dogs, and monkeys, we struggle to predict aggressive behaviors in both dogs and humans.
