Non-Ideal Climate Justice

Based on three recently published books on climate justice, this article reviews the field of climate ethics in light of developments of international climate politics. The central problem addressed is how idealised normative theories can be relevant to the political process of negotiating a just distribution of the costs and benefits of mitigating climate change. I distinguish three possible resp

Neural Coding: Bumps on the Move

By meticulously deconstructing the Drosophila head-direction neural circuit, two recent studies have revealed the mechanism of how the fly's body rotations are translated into a continuously updated internal compass representation.

Climate data induced uncertainty in model-based estimations of terrestrial primary productivity

Model-based estimations of historical fluxes and pools of the terrestrial biosphere differ substantially. These differences arise not only from differences between models but also from differences in the environmental and climatic data used as input to the models. Here we investigate the role of uncertainties in historical climate data by performing simulations of terrestrial gross primary product

Identification of sequence variants influencing immunoglobulin levels

Immunoglobulins are the effector molecules of the adaptive humoral immune system. In a genome-wide association study of 19,219 individuals, we found 38 new variants and replicated 5 known variants associating with IgA, IgG or IgM levels or with composite immunoglobulin traits, accounted for by 32 loci. Variants at these loci also affect the risk of autoimmune diseases and blood malignancies and in
