Danger looms from out of space: asteroids and comets are a threat to our planet. The history of Earth has always been punctuated by cosmic catastrophes. Several studies have claimed to have found periodic variations, with the probability of giant impacts increasing and decreasing in a regular pattern. Now a new analysis by Coryn Bailer-Jones from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) shows those simple periodic patterns to be statistical artifacts. His results indicate either that the Earth is as likely to suffer a major impact now as it was in the past, or that there has been a slight increase impact rate events over the past 250 million years

Wie beeinflussen Verhalten und Umwelt die Funktion des Genoms? Epigenetische Modifikationen des Genoms, zu denen chemische Veränderungen an Proteinen, RNA oder DNA gehören, sind umkehrbar. Sie verändern die DNA-Sequenz nicht, können aber das Ablesen der DNA beeinflussen. Wir interessieren uns für die Regulation der epigenetischen Veränderung komplexer Merkmale über Generationen hinweg. Dazu kombinieren wir Bioinformatik, Epigenomik, Tumorbiologie und Fliegengenetik, um die Rolle der Veränderungen und der daran beteiligten Enzyme bei Alterung, Entwicklung und Krankheiten zu untersuchen.

A study led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has shown that both amateur and professional dancers are less neurotic than people who do not dance. They are also more agreeable, more open, and more extraverted. But genre of dance matters.

Scientists researching the origins and evolution of graphic codes have turned to the popular web platform Reddit to explore how culture evolves. When a Reddit art initiative attracted over one million online participants, Thomas Müller and James Winters of the Minds and Traditions (Mint) group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History saw an opportunity to test the dynamics of cultural change.
