WZB+MfN: Wissenschaft, natürlich!
All the time in the world
How do we talk to each other about energy and its transition?
“How far into the past does your imagination reach?” and “How far into the future does your imagination reach? These two questions were posed to the visitors at the event "Wissenschaft, natürlich!" where they could answer interactively. The responses were shown in a diagram and provided the foundation for a panel discussion featuring literary scholar Elisabeth Heyne, sociologist Daniela Russ, and political scientist Weert Canzler.
Titled "All the Time in the World", the event was part of a collaborative series between the Berlin Social Science Center (Wissenschaftszentrums Berlin für Sozialforschung) and the Museum of Natural History Berlin (MfN).
The discussion, moderated by Christine Watty (Deutschlandfunk), also centered on energy consumption and how our perspectives on the future and reflections on the past should shape how we approach energy use. Toward the end of the event, the audience had the chance to contribute their own viewpoints and ideas.
Following the event, many guests stayed for a glass of wine and a piece of cake, to keep the discussion going amongst themselves.
