Two men in business suits are shaking hands. The man on the left, with short, graying hair, is wearing a dark navy or black suit, a light-colored collared shirt, and a dark tie. He is middle-aged, and appears to be of East Asian descent, judging by his facial features. He is smiling and looking directly at the camera. The man on the right, with short brown hair and glasses, is also wearing a dark navy or black suit, a light colored collared shirt, and a teal-blue tie. He is middle-aged and appears to be of European descent. He is also smiling and looking directly ahead, though his focus is slightly turned toward the camera. The background is a bright, mustard-yellow backdrop with a repeating patterned design that resembles a grid or woven texture. Logos or banners, containing Chinese and English text, are visible on the wall behind the men. The banners seem to be related to science or an academic institution. The typography and graphic elements suggest a celebratory event or an anniversary. The 1973-2023 or similar numbers and anniversary wording are on the backdrop.

MaxPlanckResearch 3/2024: Focus: On Life and Survival

This issue focuses on meeting existential needs, which are becoming increasingly limited due to climate change. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research are trying to preserve the characteristics of high-yielding and robust hybrid plants over several generations. It also looks at the work of the Global Fire Monitoring Center, which collects and communicates knowledge on how to prevent and effectively combat fires in forests, meadows and fields. Finally, a topic is how the water cycles have already changed and will continue to change and how we can adapt to this.
