Cell division as a Rubik's Cube: how a viable organism emerges from random disorder

Whether fly, mouse or human: the development of an organism from a single cell is one of the most astonishing phenomena in nature. Many different processes overlap, some of which are chaotic. A research team led by scientists from the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands, the Institute of Science and Technology Austria and the University of Graz investigated the early stages of cell division in mammals. They were able to show that – like a Rubik's cube – a precisely assembled complex emerges from random disorder. The results of their work were published in Science.

Out of the Dead End: Critical Thinking Can Show us the Way

We are stuck. Climate change, social division and authoritarian political developments are blocking the path to a bright future. Little by little, we have reached a dead end. According to Susanna Kogler and Stefan Baumgarten, in order to find a way out, we first need an awareness of the ideas and beliefs that have gotten us here. And then, we need to develop an alternative. Kogler is a musicologist and Baumgarten is a translation scholar who analyses the processes of converting one language into another. Together, at the University of Graz, they have initiated the research project, "Radical Thought in the Anthropocene". In this interview, they explain what this means and which goals they are pursuing.
