Data in the OECD’s How’s Life? 2017 report expose deep divisions in our society. Where we were born, our education, our age, our gender and our income are crucial factors affecting well-being and opportunity. For more statistics on people’s well-being in OECD and partner countries, see How’s Life?
What is a Sievert, and why are they used to measure radiation exposure? Although we're exposed to ionizing radiation all the time, high levels can cause illness, disease, and even death. Yet working out how much radiation leads to specific health outcomes is complicated by the fact that different t
Carbon nanotubes, or CNT, are being used to make products stronger, lighter, faster, and more efficient. But are they safe? A growing body of research is raising concerns over the hazards presented by some forms of the material. As ever though, the risk to health depends on who is exposed to what

WhiteDate is a platform of white supremacists aimed at racists and anti-Semites – and is based on outdated infrastructure. What the 8,000 members didn't know was that some of the Nazis flirted with realistic-looking chatbots this year - and even fell in love with them. Using a combination of automat
The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is one of, if not arguably the most advanced Internet censorship systems in the world. Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurem
Vaccinations protect both humans and animals from a wide range of preventable and potentially serious illnesses. With vaccines, we take advantage of one of the most important aspects of the immune system: the ability to develop immunological memory. This means that once a person or animal is expose

What health hazards do radioactive radiation pose? Can repositories protect against this radiation? What safety do legal limits offer and what everyday radiation risks are the population and certain professions exposed to? Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All t
Electromagnetic fields virtually everywhere. How strongly or weakly you are exposed to them in everyday life can be measured with exposimeters. We tried it out and documented it in this video. We also lend these exposimeters to interested parties. More info: www.bfs.de/messgeraeteverleih #emf #ele
Wherever we are, we are exposed to radiation. Sometimes we feel them, often we don't even notice them. People have always lived with natural radiation. Radiation has an effect on people and their health. But how exactly does it work, when and how do you have to protect yourself? The Federal Office f
You don't see it, and you don't feel it: radiation. Nevertheless, humans are always exposed to radiation. Shielding makes sense. Natural radioactive substances in soils and rocks emit radiation. And it comes not only from the earth, but also from heaven. The higher, the stronger the cosmic rays. I
