The AIAS iPerspectives is a science podcast series putting a voice to the interdisciplinary and transformative research community at AIAS, Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies at Aarhus University.
Get insights into novel and fascinating research topics explored by the AIAS-AUFF Fellows. AIAS brings together researchers from all academic fields and from all over the world, creating a unique environment where different disciplines and perspectives meet.
Through their interdisciplinary work, AIAS Fellows develop transformative projects with global impact
– inspired and enhanced by the many perspectives present at AIAS. Listen on:
How can microscopic fossils help us understand climate change? Geoscientist & AIAS-AUFF Fellow Nazik Öğretmen takes us on a journey to explore how she investigates the chemical signals preserved in marine fossils found at the bottom of the oceans to study past oceans and to develop new ways to improve climate reconstructions.
What is Cultural Biology, and why does it matter? Cultural Biologist & AIAS-AUFF Fellow Malene Friis Hansen explains why she and collaborators are working to define the theory and methods for Cultural Biology, a novel transdisciplinary field of study. “There is much focus on conflicts between animals and humans, as human populations and landscapes expand, however, within Cultural Biology, we focus on everything that humans and other animals create together to sustainably coexist, such as behaviours, niches and cultures."
Why should poor countries find resources to care for older people who (may) need long-term care? Hear economist and AIAS-AUFF Fellow Kwadwo Opoku from the University of Ghana explain how prioritizing long-term care can generate economy-wide benefits to the entire society in this iPerspectives episode.
Why does subjective time matter and how can it impact other spheres of our experience and our overall wellbeing? In this first episode of the iPerspectives series, Assistant Professor in Aesthetics & AIAS-AUFF Fellow Federica Cavaletti will present her research in the differences in time perception and management across people with different neurotypes.
