Our scientists had the chance to experience the imaginative results of a unique collaboration with the @hslu-luzern.bsky.social, School of Design, Film and Art 💡

Rather than traditional charts or graphs, the students brought data to life through physical, tangible models!

Today is #worldtoiletday 🚽💧 Clean toilets are essential for safe water. In fact, water, sanitation and solid waste management are interconnected.

Take a look at our project together with Makerere University that show the daily life of two towns in Uganda

Many species benefit from the habitats that beavers create by building dams – and not just aquatic life. A new study by @wslresearch.bsky.social and Eawag research institutes shows that more bats hunt in beaver territories than outside of them 🦇🦫

Urban trees are often seen as natural allies in fighting summer heat. But how much they actually help to cool their surroundings depends heavily on how moist the soil is. This is the main finding of a new study, led by environmental engineers at @ethz.ch and #Eawag.
