is clear, if you choose become pools in a cru, see a political concept went, oh you lost the run, starts december 18th on d, w. the were all the same rights. well, most exactly. in terms of dna, there is tiny differences. domestic information differs slightly from person to person. that's why we will have different physical characteristics. in the social 10 differences can be a lot more pronounced, like between how women and men are treated. in germany, for instance, mailboxes are paid on average. mold in the female camps, upon researches and looking at why that's and much more on this episode of dw science show. welcome to tomorrow. today the

this patient with obesity is undergoing a stomach reduction, a common procedure, the 2 surgeons carrying out the operation, however, are exceptions. in germany, as a, i'm seeing when i started my surgical training, i was the only woman among 36 man. it was still very unusual. i guess it was kind of like the mascot. i thought this last question, maybe because surgery has been such a classic male domain for such a long time. and because of this idea that a woman can do some things just as well, ok, but only a real man can perform the surgery. one wish to go month, according to the german medical association, there are 9 males, surgeons, for every female surgeon in the country. equipment reflects that, the sanction dammit, and that it starts with the fact that, for example, many surgical instruments are not made for smaller women's hand for that as a. so back and there was even and often the case that they had to order extra

gloves for me. i need to have because i have much smaller hands. the man who operated alongside me may not be mcneil, probably yet. can your gender impact not only on your career, but also your paycheck? figures seem to confirm that it does. in germany, there's a huge income gap between men and women in medicine. female doctors working full time earned on average 30 percent less than their male colleagues. but why? one reason is that female doctors often work in areas that require more communication skills like general medicine. and those jobs are often paid less than specialties like radiology or surgery, which usually draw more man. another reason is that lucrative top positions are also mostly failed by man. just 15 percent of all head physicians in germany are women. the 2 surgeons also cast a critical eye on the fact that women in medicine earned last. this is the furthest

i see an opportunity to ensure contracts no longer contain clauses saying you're not allowed to talk about money. because you can only make comparisons if people are open about it and ask, why is it more here than there we go? the, an adjusted gender pay gap across all occupations. so between men and women in general in germany, this 18 percent. that can be explained in part by the fact that many women work part time and are less likely to reach management positions. but even women who do the same job as man and work just as long are still paid 7 percent less than their male counterparts. researchers call this the adjusted gender pay gap. where does this 7 percent gap come from? scientist sit the max punk institute for research on collective goods and bonds are

trying to figure that out. in one experiment, their test subjects were asked to solve math problems. in the end, they were paid according to how many they solved correctly, and they could increase their winnings if they were prepared to compete against each other. this is x from inside. this experiment shows that men are much more competitive than women, which is remarkable because in most of our tasks, practically all of them, the men don't perform better than women. and then so if the gap is about performance levels good, shouldn't do this next time. however, these differences in behavior do have a considerable impact in some areas like salary negotiations or when it comes to applying for a management position. is this just so what is going on? so the fact is that an hour type of economy, hardly anyone's job, just drops from the sky. you actually have to throw your head into the ring and compete. apply even though outcomes are on certain available. you have to want that

and be ready to do it and then deliver a perfect performance and build done know a particular test. that's where some gender differences also help explain the unexplained pay gap between men and women. there's minimal different behavior isn't the only reason behind different opportunities for a career and a high salary. one phase of life in particular is decisive. starting a family. i think them if you've been away for a long time, you can slip back into a different role and types and salary in general start much later. because promotions become less likely to feel the meaning of a sign that they have to have. it again can't hold, you know, papa could not have held their own as surgeons in a profession still dominated by men in germany. the 2 also share the position of chief physician. another unusual move for a clinic in the country. except i can on i had 3 children

bars again and i wanted to have a career. it's had me a fines, and i've had a lot of fun working for this career. we're working towards the order, the me and this part time option gives me that opportunity to try to and get communities and no fish kite models like these are called top sharing lines here. they're a way of enabling more women to take on management positions during the kind of salary that reflects it. incidentally, in societies why women have the same opportunities and rights as men, male life expectancy also rises. the reason why might be that as the idea of with masculinity changes, man lives less risky, unhealthy in lives. and patients are all say more likely to recover. well if they've been operated on it women. when you need surgery, the sands could be better for you within these ones. that's what research and canada and fed the team examined over

a 1000000 patients one year. absolutely went under the nice and guess what? the sex of the surgeon influence how well they were doing when treated by a man. every for the patients had complications when treated by a is called only a brief list. so patients overrated on by steam a search and seem to fair better than those 3 to by may surgeon. other studies have shown that as well. one possible explanation is that women might take more time during the procedures and or better communicate. in fact, there's more may surgeons, the less harm when operating on med that wouldn't operating on women or female surgeons that was not the case. however, the number of women doctors and surgery remained staggering. the know last year 44 percent of old women and 68 percent of all men worldwide were in paid employment . women actually what mold in men though, but labor in the households in the fields. ok giving is generally on page. most places women still ret, in management positions to only around

a set of over such as a female on top science positions are still largely a male domain that's partly due to a deeply embedded hierarchy in academia. at 1st, everything was fine. kathleen started work on her dog to read and got on very well with her p h t adviser. but when she decided to leave deposition in order to continue working abroad, things took a turn for the worse. she thinks mostly because she refused to leave her job earlier than was required by the contractual terms of her employment contract. and he pad, miles to me in front of other employees, bullied me, and accidentally misdirected e mails. and what you talked badly about me calling me brash and incompetence because i think that the best way to describe it is that i felt powerless to like many students and academic staff at universities in germany. kathleen was at

the mercy of the professor advising her dissertation. he was her direct supervisor and h. r. manager all rolled into one. he was also so well connected in her small field of research that he could harm her professional life is which the pain, you know, there are scholarships you can only apply for if you have a high grade on your dissertation. and mostly the doctoral supervisor decides what that'll be. and so if i get a bad evaluation or maybe one day find myself before an appointment committee, when applying for a professorship myself, you might be asked for his opinion and could then say that i'm not suitable guy. and bullying is not the only kind of misconduct in academia. some professors insist on appearing as authors and publications. they haven't actually worked on an abusive fair power. the same applies that they exert pressure to falsify data or

evaluate results in a one sided way. and there are even worse offences involving physical and sexual abuse. so is it easier to abuse power a universe, cities, and research institutions than elsewhere? professor don utilizing is investigating this question. a professor who teaches at the dresden university of technology. he chairs a commission at the german psychological society on the subject, and his verdict is clear. one valuable thing comes in that we know from a whole series of surveys that it's on questionnaire believe part and parcel of the scientific community that scientists search. we didn't badly, and this also applies to other european countries like the netherlands as a switzerland and austria on mobbing bullying and exportation or comments. but what exactly makes it so easy for perpetrators at universities and research institutions to get away with it? as with cases of power, abuse in other areas of society,

the issue remains it's had to topic for years. the biggest problem, the amount of power held by a single person, according to lising, the reputation professors have in german society, also plays a role in industry for housing. if the behavior is easier in organizations that are reputed to be highly ethical. if you are sexually assaulted by a pastor or priest in the 19 sixty's or seventy's that before and then came home and told your mother about the very strange things he did to you because you were probably set off to bed without dinner. because you don't say things like that about a man of the cloth. and i notice a similar inhibition when it comes to scientists, loss of a physical 70 percent off law professor stuff on show. todd, the german psychological societies chairman says that policing bad behavior is difficult. academic freedom and shrines in the countries,

laws guarantees professors, a high degree of independence in research and teaching, but also in the supervision of their staff. there's little monitoring and misconduct is rarely punished. of using your power or so can therefore pay off the commission deposits one day. we need to strengthen the positions of those who may fall victim to power of years. we need veteran employment conditionals and more permanent contracts, more reliable career paths. we have to change incentive structures, so it no longer pays to exploit others or behavior, unethical, or loans. we have to pay more attention to research quality and not focus a purely on quantitative event. we need strong control and sanction body wasn't from, for example, we need to give on buds, persons and committees, more resources and the hour must also preventing power of use in german academia and therefore requires sustainable changes among them. effective independent controls. the united states, for example, has

a government organization for investigating scientific misconduct. kathleen contacted the responsible counseling center at her university. the results were sobering. monday that monday. but when you make yourself go there and open yourself up to somebody who's actually a stranger, someone who suggests that justice will be done about india and nothing happened, probably because in this case the professor was untouchable. and i've had the h r department had already received several complaints about him, but what could they do? he's a civil servant with tenure. he is the final authority and in addition to more monitoring, splitting scientific supervision from personnel duties. what, how, after all, being even an outstanding scientist doesn't mean you also have a social skills necessary to be a good boss?

because during the age of enlightenment, which began at the end of the 17th century, cleared the way for new scientific to planes, setting the stage for the mountain views of reason, but also human rights. but during the period to european powers are also colonizing countries around the globe, and often tearing icing native peoples. how did this fits in with the movement inside deals? the enlightenment also gave birth to some ideas that didn't withstand the test of time or the term raise is totally taboo. you won't find it anywhere. nobody says it anymore. instead we talk about culture people. society of people are always trying to set themselves apart from others. but before we get to that, let's look back hundreds of years when wide spread concepts of race began to emerge

from us and who nothings because it's around 1800. what are called color models developed 1st ties, there were the white europeans and those who had settled in north america, who were to a certain extent, considered to be at the atx. all know then there were what were called brown people's or orientals. and what we now call them, at least then there were asians who were placed a little higher because certain civilizational achievements could be attributed to them. and the group that was to some extent on the bottom wrong, where the africans left side of the content of the reason they were placed at the bottom of this hierarchical model was justification for the fact that for centuries, africans had been treated not as human beings but as sub humans, you can go in and this maybe mentions of the intervention pumped. this is chris john, go island. he's a professor of modern history, who studied racism for years. the reasons for why africans were on the lowest

strong involved the atlantic triangular slave trade, where millions of black people were trafficked from africa to the america europe and sold the goods that enslaved people were forced to produce back to their home countries and invested high profits. in more in slaves, much to the system didn't change even after the age of enlightenment or contacts are 9. the it'd be nice to say that after universalism, india, enlightenment arrive, equality, freedom, fraternity, these basic values that racism disappeared. but the opposite happened. and i think that's when racism became a justifying id. ology, providing specific hierarchies of security and inferiority. and by this, on the one hand, racism, at least since the 18th century says, very clearly, of course, all people are members of humanity, no one is excluded. but the cultures outside europe have less biological value, and that was why it was legitimate to exploit them. racial series,

like these were wide spread among enlightenment thinkers like tons go terror schiller and good to me from his act. but i'd say 99 percent of all intellectual or politicians believed it was. that's how people thought about the theory of evolution. and scientists like darwin, angela mark altered the intellectual landscape. their ideas made it clear that nature was constantly changing. so there could be no such thing as a natural, unchangeable order, not even among humans. this is solution for that rolled over europe like a shock waves country. it meant africa could pose a challenge and south america could pose the challenge that we were all in a fight for survival and had to prove our supremacy of which until then had been a given devise. the racial series propagated by the nazi party in germany emerged in the 20th century. the ones,

hitler and his followers laid out the ideas in his book mind comes up, but they also focus the whole problem on a racial contract. namely that between ariens and semis. so germans and jude with the latter declared a kind of counter reyes and tools. and i think that's not a darwinian concept with dar when the fight for survival is taking place everywhere . but hitler could have cared less about what biology or scientists were saying was for him, judy, isn't, was the enemy racially biologically politically and culturally? and if the german was to survive as a culture and state, then it would have to be destroyed. the nazis murdered 6000000 jews, industrialized genocide on a scale that remains unique in history. theories of race have long since been refuted. there are no human races. so what does racism look like today? the, like we said at the start, people still constantly seek to distance themselves from others. many will take to

the streets to protest against emigrants because they feel threatened by them. and some political movements claim they'll free people from the threat that's done. so that's the whole thing, the whole ship bang no longer requires the concept of res. biology doesn't play a big role lead there is ation. instead, we talk about culture about people without society and i stuff, it's a bit different in the us because race has a different status there. but even there, if you look at how trump it talks about these things, we just repeat, classic racial theories and the idea ologies from the 19th century, english. instead, he's developed his own language to talk about one that clearly has a racist under tons. but it's difficult to attack, did you believe there's only racism where you have the concept of res switching. however, there are a common things that you can follow and i think it's important to keep an eye on them. just keep in mind that's only possible if we don't focus on the future

wondering when will the bad thing come back? i think it's taking on new formats and we have to watch out for what's disappearing and what's carried forward. well, that's what you have to keep an eye on. the another thing to keep an eye on is a mocking kind of exploitation that still happens regularly appropriating and commercializing traditional indigenous knowledge about native slumps and other organisms without any payments or compensation. also known as bio piracy. many food spices and medicines produced on this basis is subject to patients and sold great profits. international agreements. so suppose to stop by a piracy not a simple task. this is candy leave the source of the sugar substitute stevie up that originally comes from paraguay, but has grown scarce. there the plant is almost ext and the wild after being exploited by multinational corporations. agronomist miguel nevada has been

campaigning for years, seeking redress for the indigenous pilots. have you cut off people and they're fight against industry. the charge filed piracy, they actually relied on the traditional knowledge of the bank, the, that people are the one i need leaving there to show them where the plants where they took it basically with no consent of the painter. with that, that's the 1st thing. that's the 1st act of buy a piracy. the fact that they didn't consulted with them constituted by piracy bio piracy is the appropriation of genetic resources or knowledge about them from indigenous peoples and farmers without asking for permission. and without giving anything in return. even if the phenomenon doesn't receive much attention in the industrialized world, bio piracy is wide spread with a clear north, south divide,

bio pirates focus, particularly on regions with high biodiversity. and most of these are located in the global south regions, like the amazon or those in india and south africa. what i call genetic resources from these areas include not only plants such as candy ladies, but also animals, or micro organisms. any of them can hold enormous potential for industries like food, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics. profits from developed products, however are mainly generated in the global north. there is a lot of volume still. they have many, many options in the product line pharmaca, pia, traditional for america be a to treat many lumens. i absolutely, and many are being already in use under exploitation. as we speak. many of

them are, had been, i think that by international or, or transnational corporations. so what's to stop industry from just helping itself? are there any safeguards the international community has adopted various agreements to prevent that from happening? they're all intended to prevent bio piracy and protect endangered bio diversity while at the same time enabling research and innovation. one of these agreements is the nagoya protocol. it states that anyone seeking to use a genetic resource or knowledge about it should pay compensation for the right. the principal is called benefit sharing. users and providers of

a resource or knowledge are supposed to negotiate the amount and form the compensation will take. it's important to understand that the idea is not about the direct consumption of products like food. it's about paying for the use of genetic resources or traditional knowledge about them in areas like research and development. instead of building out cash users could, for instance, also support nature conservation projects. so if a legal framework is in place, why is the phenomenon of bio piracy still so wide spread funds from my end back as a swift expert on seed policy, who has dealt intensively with the issue of bio piracy. the agreements he says are not clear enough and they favor the rights of industrialized nations. you know, all fucking, that's new in europe. the rule is that you only have to comply if you go back to

the country of origin after the indigo protocol went into force and start extracting the resource there again, don't know, but countries in the global south interpret things very differently. they say no way any new use must comply with the rules and the uses. no, no, it doesn't move. i don't have to pay anything. i don't have to ask your name. i can use it all freely and i don't have to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, and we'll sneak to but if that really is the rule, then ultimately my benefits sharing will remain very small. there will be very little equalization of benefits. if you follow the global south interpretation of the rule, then monday, then something really would flow back on the vehicle. he gets us to look for these . but industrialized nations have more power and lack the political will to implement existing rules, meaning bio piracy will continue the
