Research magazine Horizons: Investigating virtual spaces
The inbox is a place, even if no road leads to it. The latest Horizons issue travels into the philosophical depths of virtual space, presents its infinite possibilities and explores its limits.
It's been a year since we've simply clicked on links, instead of going to a meeting room. The most frequented places in the world today are virtual. In its latest edition, Horizons opens the door to the infinite possibilities of these spaces. We discover reality in the virtual world, track down projects that help overcome psychological and physical problems, and explore the limits of what people are willing to tolerate during online meetings. Not to forget Moïra, a teenager who has lived in a virtual world and now ventures into the physical world for the first time.
In the second key topic, Horizons introduces you to people who are indispensable for research even though they are not researchers themselves. Find out why science needs the oenologist, the glassblower, the cleaner, the excavator and the nurse.
Other highlights include: a trip by crane over green and brown treetops, the question of trust in research, and why animals help each other.
As always, the latest issue of Horizons is as diverse as research itself. And accessible to everyone!
