Learning Planet Institute's Graduate School in Paris seeks students willing to cross disciplinary boundaries to address systemic challenges — a model that tests whether academic structures can adapt to planetary-scale problems.
New satellite research reveals that 40% of corn and 60% of wheat depend on land-based rainfall — unstable moisture from forests, wetlands, and soil that agricultural expansion is actively destroying.
Researchers at Bonn University developed a self-cleaning filter modeled on fish gills that captures microplastics from washing machines — addressing a governance gap where household infrastructure meets ocean pollution.
