“The Man with the Bow Tie” Who Threw Small Children Down a Well

How were anti-Semitism, fear and children's scare stories connected in late 19th and early 20th-century Europe? This is the question being investigated by Professor Robert Braun of the University of California Berkeley. An Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellow, Braun spent nearly a year at the University of Bonn working under Professor Ove Sutter of the Department of Empirical Cultural Studies and Cultural Anthropology to explore archived material from the Atlas of German Folklore. 

Two ERC Consolidator Grants in Medicine

Not one but two researchers at the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn are to receive much-sought-after Consolidator Grants. Awarded by the European Research Council (ERC), they provide millions of euros in funding for outstanding research projects. Professor Philipp Vollmuth is developing an AI foundation model that is expected to set new benchmarks for the use of AI in radiology, while Privatdozent Dr. med. Michael Sommerauer—who recently swapped the University of Cologne for Bonn—is researching the early detection of Parkinson’s disease.

Animal products improve child nutrition in Africa

The consumption of milk products, eggs and fish has a positive effect on childhood development in Africa. This has been demonstrated in a recent study by the CABI's regional centre for Africa in Nairobi, Kenya and the University of Bonn. The researchers used representative data from five African countries with over 32,000 child observations. If the children had a diet containing animal products, they suffered less from malnutrition and related developmental deficiencies. The study has now been published in the journal PNAS.
