In conversation with the founder of Sailsetters, a TUM Student Club for educational equity

“A good education can change an entire life.”

Social inequality takes root from the very first day of an educational journey. Children from families without an academic background are much less likely to go to university. Johannes Michalke wants to change that. With “Sailsetters” he founded a TUM Student Club that supports disadvantaged children and young people. In our interview, he shares what drives him – and why equal opportunities in education benefit us all.

New explanation for sex differences in age-related diseases

Silent X chromosome awakens with age

Women age differently from men when it comes to health – particularly in conditions like cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia and Parkinson’s. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has proposed a new explanation for this. In aging female mice, genes on the previously silenced second X chromosome become active again. This mechanism might also influence women's health later in life.

Smart fertilization with biosensor strips

Precise fertilization using data from the field and from satellites - that is the idea behind NutriSen, a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The start-up has developed a measuring device and an application that farmers can use to generate highly precise and specific fertilization recommendations for their crops. The aim is to reduce nitrogen input and protect the environment.
