Extreme weather fluctuations, icebergs melting, ocean levels rising - these are just some of the impacts of climate change. And the consequences for mankind are huge and will get even bigger unless we manage to respond. But how? What are the possible scenarios, what influences them, what can governments do and what can we do as individuals? www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/1044129…hillipe-ciais/

Most people's acts in economics are not driven by logic or rational thought but by their experience, says professor Vernon Smith who in 2002 received Swedens Central bank Prize in Economic Sciences, known as the Nobel Prize in Economics. He focuses on experiments describing how people behave when they trade. How does our decision-making change as we gradually gain more information? How have his experiments contributed to practice for example in the regulating transport? And why does he

I'm a maker of magma chambers, says volcanologist Kayla Iacovino who in her lab simulates what's going on under the surface in a volcano's magma chamber. But she also does a lot of field work - she worked in Antarctic, Chille or in North Korea. What is she able to discover about the past and the future of volcano? What helps her simulate such gigantic forces of nature like pressure and temperature? And why will she prefer hearing instead of goodbye "live long and

I listen to neurons but brain speaks in symphony, that's why you need to listen to multiple neurons at once - says neuroscientist and anesthesiologist Divya Chander who works at Faculty in medicine of Singularity University. Using EEG she listens to the brain to find out what is really happening inside, this allows her to study our consciousness and new ways of helping people for example with Parkinson's disease or partial paralysis.

A cleanup in the cell without which we wouldn't survive. That's autophagy - a process in which a cell gets ris of it's damaged or unnecessary parts and which seems to be also crucial in the fight against certain diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, diabetes or cancer. Autophagy was described by professor Yoshinori Ohsumi and for this he received the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine - the world's most prestigious science award, yet he himself says his first big

Seven rocky planet, three of them in the habitable zone and all of them close to Earth. At least from the cosmic point of view. That is the Trappist-one system. It was discovered partially thanks to the scientists from the European Southern Observatory and it's far from their only success. They have also found our nearest exoplanet, observed stars orbiting the massive black hole in the center of our galaxy and watched the development of sunspots.

Go after your curiosity. You need to have more curiosity. Even more curiosity. But it’s not enough to be curious. You have to have passion. Says Professor Ada E. Yonath. She comes from a poor family, but eventually made her way to the highest levels of science. She studies ribosomes – factories inside cells that translate our genetic information and produce proteins. Without them, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. Few people believed her when she was starting her research – most colleagues
