When the kidneys, liver, heart or lungs are incurably diseased, an organ transplant is often the last hope. But despite the many advances in modern medicine, the risks are still high – and the primary goal of doctors and patients is still to maximise “transplant survival” while minimising impact on quality of life.

It is a truism to say that migrants' language skills often decide how successfully they are able to integrate. But what about the situation prior to migration? Do people who already know German leave their home countries more quickly and more willingly? And what difference does it make when and where they learned the language? Empirical data sheds light on a little-studied question.

The linking of research data from evolutionary biology and palaeontology is shedding new light on the origin and development of amphibians. For scientists working in this area, salamanders are a fascinating object of study – from the unusual development of their extremities to the regeneration of entire limbs.

The relations between research and society are undermined by dysfunctionalities within the research system, such as irresponsible research, exaggerated promises and unrealistic expectations. This becomes all the more dramatic in the age of populism. The best way to further consent is an academic attitude of self-limitation and self-distance and being honest and modest.
