Welcome to Bench Talks – a science communication format brought to you by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the International Journalists’ Programmes. Two people on a bench. Somewhere in Berlin. A researcher and a journalist discuss current world events and the state of science communication. A dialogue that offers a comparative view between different cultures and languages. An unscripted conversation of two professions that often hardly have the time to engage in an unplanned chat. Here, we take the luxury of “drifting” and “dwelling” in interdisciplinary space – which takes us to new perspectives for our global community. Bench Talks is part of the Communication Lab: Twice a year, ten Humboldt Fellows meet up with ten journalists from the International Journalists’ Programmes. During a four-day workshop the participants discuss criteria of good research communication. In teams of two they develop a piece of cutting-edge science journalism, promoting dialogue between science and media.

The Future of Biodiversity: Why we need better data and communication

How can we predict the future of biodiversity? What are the challenges in analysing cause and effect in ecological studies? And is species decline directly linked to climate change? In the new episode of our podcast series Bench Talks, macroecologist and Humboldtian Brian McGill (University of Maine) and science journalist Sahana Ghosh (Nature India) get together in Berlin to talk about global data collection, attribution and how smart investments and better communication can help protect life on earth.    Brian McGill is a Professor of Ecological Modelling at the University of Maine. He works at the intersection of biodiversity, human-caused global change, and big data approaches. He is a recipient of the Humboldt Research Award (2023) and was Editor-In-Chief of the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography. He is also one of three co-authors of the popular academic ecology blog, Dynamic Ecology.   Sahana Ghosh is an Associate Editor at Nature India. Trained in microbiology she now reports on science and environment with a special interest in the history of science. She is a founding member of the Science Journalists’ Association of India and a member of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network.    Bench Talks is part of the Communication Lab [https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/apply/sponsorship-programmes/humboldt-communication-lab], a joint programme of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation [https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/] and the International Journalists’ Programmes [https://www.ijp.org/en/].  Voiceover by Amie Liebowitz  Editing by Ellery Studio

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
