Change begins with a question

Artificial intelligence has taken mathematics by storm. It is increasing the need for specialists with a deep understanding of the subject, says Professor Mikko Salo at the University of Jyväskylä. Salo and his team are currently working to solve inverse problems. Its methods are already used in medical imaging, including X-rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as in measurements of the Earth’s crust.

Menopause brings hormonal changes for every woman, but its effects can vary widely. Some experience sleep problems, some develop cardiovascular disease, and others face different health problems. Others experience no changes in their health.

Why does menopause affect women differently? A research team led by Professor Eija Laakkonen at the University of Jyväskylä is seeking answers to this important public health question.
