Jeder Präsident ist in seiner Amtsführung von seinem Fach und den Methoden geprägt, mit denen er als Wissenschaftler gearbeitet hat. Charakteristisch für den Mikrobiologen Peter Gruss ist, immer wieder Neues anzustoßen, dabei oft unerschlossene Wege zu beschreiten, aber auch umzukehren oder die Richtung zu ändern, wenn sich ein Weg nicht als sinnvoll erweist. Darin zeigt sich der Experimentator, für den jeder Versuch eine bereichernde Erfahrung ist – unabhängig von Aufwand und Ergebnis. So hat Peter Gruss als Präsident die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft in zahlreiche Richtungen vorangetrieben.
Das gelang durch Ausstellungen wie den Science Tunnel und den Science Express, aber

Intelligent Systems: Bits and Bots

https://www.mpg.de/8219246/intelligent_systems

Intelligent systems can autonomously perceive, process information, act flexibly and learn and adapt in changing situations. They are being developed at many scales, from animal or human-sized robots to systems no bigger than a bacterial cell. Their potential uses are many: from targeted drug delivery in the body to performing search-and-rescue missions in disaster zones.
Some bacteria have developed a clever swimming technique to overcome this: they tunnel

Air pollution renders flower odors unattractive to moths

Researchers showed that tobacco hawkmoths lost attraction to the scent of their preferred flowers when that scent had been altered by ozone. This oxidizing pollutant thus disturbs the interaction between a plant and its pollinator, a relationship that has evolved over millions of years.
They tested the responses of the moths in behavioral assays in a wind tunnel, allowing

In her essay, Max Planck Director Ayelet Shachar describes how governments in western countries are increasingly attempting to control access to their territories far beyond the actual national borders and monitor the mobility of their own citizens. These efforts have been massively intensified with the spread of the corona pandemic. The legal expert warns that this must change as soon as the virus is defeated.
