Environmental economist Dr Marije Schaafsma highlights diverse ways to value nature and the importance of climate justice in any conservation efforts. An economist by discipline and an environmentalist by heart, Dr Marije Schaafsma's research is concerned with balance and trade-offs - with balancing the needs of people versus the needs of a liveable planet, and with the inevitable trade-offs this balancing entails in the pursuit of a sustainable future for all.

Parkinson's disease, a condition affecting millions globally, has long been a mystery in terms of its cause. However, groundbreaking research from the University of Helsinki, led by Professor Per Saris, sheds light on this enigma, linking specific gut bacteria to the disease. Desulfovibrio, a genus of bacteria found in the human gut, has been the focus of this research.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! To understand how things work, we must think small. Really small. Processes that affect how materials appear or behave happen at the atomic level. That is a key place for researchers to start, but such atomic-scale challenges are difficult because they require that researchers solve the underlying equations of quantum physics, which are computationally intensive and expensive.
