I am a medical technologist turned molecular biologist, currently pursuing my PhD at the DKFZ. Growing up, science in tv shows and pop culture made complex concepts more fun and engaging (and inspired me to pursue this career path)! I’m excited to do the same through Pint of Science Heidelberg!

After my postdoc, I traded experiments for explanations! Now, I coordinate communication for a scientific project, making complex ideas accessible for users and patients. I’m excited to bring this passion to Pint of Science and look forward to making science more engaging—one pint at a time!

I am a master's student, I study molecular biosciences. I think talking about science in a more understandable way for everyone brings a mutual relationship between science and society. I am excited to be a part of Pint of Science and looking forward to chatting about science with everyone!
