Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian Gunga - in conversation with Michael Göring

Extreme temperatures! What do they do to our bodies?

Climate change is already causing unbearably hot conditions in some regions. How does the body respond to heat stress? Who and what should we be paying particular attention to?

Dr. Hanns-Christian Gunga, Professor of Space Medicine and Extreme Environments at Berlin's Charité hospital, explains how we can protect ourselves and prepare better for the next record-breaking summer. What steps should individuals and institutions take before a heatwave strikes?

"With Professor Gunga, we are welcoming an internationally renowned scientist to my conversation series for the first time," says Michael Göring. "He is a specialist who knows how to communicate his research findings in a way that is both accessible and genuinely engaging."

Hanns-Christian Gunga grew up in Lippstadt-Benninghausen. He completed his Abitur at Gymnasium Overhagen, went on to study geology in Münster and then medicine, and has been researching and working in Berlin and around the world for many years.
