Stiftung Charité has been funding science x media Tandems as part of its Open Life Science program since 2023, thus supporting collaborations between scientists and media professionals on innovative projects designed to promote science communication. Professor Gary Lewin and science communications trainer Russ Hodge at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) joined forces with the Berlin artist Kat Menschik in the first Tandems cohort. Their collaboration culminated in the publication of a popular science book that brings home what extraordinary animals can teach us about being human and about the impact of climate change and biodiversity loss on humans, animals, and the environment.
