In their ‘Dogolomics’ project, a team of researchers in human and veterinary medicine is seeking to track down the causes of long COVID by finding out which substances the dogs can smell. They thus aim to pave the way for improved detection of this difficult-to-diagnose condition.Leibniz University to be part of a wider ‘European University’Max Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/News/Leibniz-University-to-be-part-of-a-wider-‘European-University’2023-07-04T10:26:21+02:00Leibniz University (LUH) is to receive 1.6 million euros from the European Union.

However, they are among the most populated areas in the world. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) have now created both an age-depth model and a moisture distribution for the last 500,000 years from one of the oldest lakes in central Mexico, Lake Chalco. The results are clear: Central Mexico experienced recurrent dry periods related to the Earth's natural wobble.Popcorn Screw TutorialMax Mustermannmax@mustermann.dehttps://www.hannover.de/en/Science-Education/Hannover-Science-Initiative/Popcorn-Screw-Tutorial2022-04-22T14:12:55+02:00To commemorate the 375th birthday of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (*July 1, 1646), an interactive Leibniz Actionbound tour entitled "In Search of Leibniz's Legacy" was developed.
