Die Künstlerin Susanne M. Winterling und die Nanoingenieurin Prof. Dr. Simone Schürle sprechen über ihre intensive Zusammenarbeit bei der gemeinsamen Entwicklung der Ausstellung. Sie geben Einblick in Schürles Arbeit im „Responsive Biomedical Systems Lab“ an der ETH Zürich und den Austausch der beiden über die Themen von „TEMPERATE“. Außerdem diskutieren sie naturwissenschaftliche Bildgebungsverfahren und die Technik dahinter, das Kultivieren von Bakterien und das „im-Labor-sein“, das Winterling als eine der zentralen Erfahrungen in Vorbereitung auf das Ausstellungsprojekt beschreibt.

Artist Susanne M. Winterling and nanoengineer Prof. Dr. Simone Schürle talk about their intensive collaboration in the joint development of the exhibition. They provide insight into Schürle's work in the "Responsive Biomedical Systems Lab" at ETH Zurich and the exchange between the two on the themes of "TEMPERATE". They also discuss scientific imaging methods and the technology behind them, and talk about cultivating bacteria as well as about "being in the lab," which Winterling describes as one of the central experiences in preparation for the exhibition project.

Episode 4: TEMPERATE. Behind the Scenes

Ausgehend von der Installation „You are the 0.01%“ sprechen der Künstler Zheng Bo und der Ökologe Tom Crowther (ETH Zürich) über das Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur. Ein Fokus des Gesprächs liegt auf der Forschung Crowthers. Er untersucht anhand von globalen ökologischen Datensätzen, wie die Ökosysteme der Welt das Klima beeinflussen. In einem informativen Dialog stellt einerseits Zheng Bo seine persönliche und künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit den biologischen, sozialen und politischen Aspekten der Pflanzen vor, die um ihn herum existieren. Andererseits berichtet Crowther von aktuellen ökologischen Studien, die beispielsweise den Einfluss von Monokulturen auf das Klima und die Artenvielfalt aufzeigen.

Based on the installation “You are the 0.01%”, the artist Zheng Bo and the ecologist Tom Crowther (ETH Zurich) talk about the relationship between man and nature. One focus of the conversation is on Crowther's research. Using global ecological data sets, he examines how the world's ecosystems influence the climate. In an informative dialogue, Zheng Bo, on the one hand, presents his personal and artistic observations of the biological, social, and political aspects of the plants that exist around him. On the other hand, Crowther informs about current findings such as the influence that e. g. monocultures have on the climate and biodiversity.

Interview with Zheng Bo and Tom Crowther

A conversation between Aviv Regev and Judith Feucht, this year’s winners of our science prizes: How to successfully translate basic research into clinical application?

In episode 6 get to know the computational biologist Aviv Regev and the medical researcher Judith Feucht. Both women are pioneers in their field: Aviv Regev has advanced the fundamentals of single-cell genomics, and Judith Feucht develops anti-cancer immunotherapies by modifying endogenous T-cells. The two prize winners share a strong intrinsic motivation to translate their basic research into clinical application: How can clinical routine and research be combined, and what drives a successful scientist to resign from one of the most prestigious academic chairs to work for the pharmaceutical industry? You will also find out what impact Aviv Regev’s research field – the development of single-cell genomics – has on the work of Judith Feucht. To what extent is the Human Cell Atlas not only an important tool in medicine but also a perfect example of a collaborative science project? What do the prize winners think of gender equality in science, and what is their greatest mission? The science journalist Julia Vismann moderates the conversation between the 2021 Ernst Schering Prize recipient Prof. Aviv Regev, PhD, Global Head of Genentech Research and Early Development, and Dr. Judith Feucht, medical doctor and research group leader at Tübingen University Hospital, who was awarded the 2021 Friedmund Neumann Prize. The podcast is in English.
