Timo Torsten Schmidt
PostDoc, Freie Universität Berlin
My name is Timo Torsten Schmidt and I am a neuroscientist interested in the neuronal underpinnings of human consciousness. I work with methods from the field of computational cognitive neuroscience with a focus on functional neuroimaging. In my research I focus on (1) the mental representation of consciousness content (working memory) and (2) mechanisms underlying altered states of consciousness. I am currently living and working in @Neurocomputation and Neuroimaging Unit (NNU), Freie Universität Berlin. I am an advocate of Open Science and would like to foster that scientific findings are made publicly available. In this line, I have developed the Altered States Database (ASDB) - www.asdb.info - This website makes scientific data on the subjective effects of different mind altering techniques publicly available, e.g. the experiences people have after consuming different drugs, or during such techniques as meditation or sensory deprivation.

Most generally, I study how people work together in different types of organizations (e.g. firms, government agencies, schools). I'm particularly interested in on more "open" forms of organizing – including greater transparency or participation. In many cases, these new forms of organizing go hand in hand with the use of digital technologies.

Claudia Müller-Birn
Professor, Freie Universität Berlin, Institut für Informatik, Human-Centered Computing
Computer science researchers are increasingly challenged by requests to integrate societal, management and policy dimensions into technologies they develop. In computer science, it is no longer just a matter of realizing what is technically possible - the societal desired matters as well. By understanding algorithmic systems as socio-technical systems rather than as a purely technical “thing” that can exist independently of its context, I educate students to understand the bigger picture in which technologies operate.

Sarah-Mai Dang
PostDoc, Philipps-Universität Marburg
2014 habe ich meine Dissertation zu Film, Feminismus und Erfahrung an der Freien Universität Berlin abgeschlossen. Im Zentrum standen Chick Flicks, Mainstream-Filme wie LEGALLY BLONDE und MISS CONGENIALITY, die als ‚Frauen-Filme‘ gebrandmarkt werden. Die einen lieben sie, die anderen hassen sie. Mich hat interessiert, warum Chick Flicks für so heftige Reaktionen sorgen bzw. warum sie so gerne gesehen werden. Dafür habe ich die Filme auf ihre ästhetische Erfahrung hin untersucht. Seit dem Abschluss meiner Promotion beschäftige ich mich mit dem wissenschaftlichen Publikationssystem und dem Zugang zu Wissen. Dabei setze ich mich mit Open Access, Peer Review, dem symbolischen Kapital des (gedruckten) Buches, dem Potential digitalen Publizierens und nicht zuletzt dem Sinn und Zweck geisteswissenschaftlicher Forschung auseinander. Außerdem interessiere ich mich für Netzpolitik, Filmästhetik, Filmerfahrung, Filmtheorie und Feminismus. Ich habe mehrere Jahre als Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Seminar für Filmwissenschaft und im Sonderforschungsbereich „Ästhetische Erfahrung im Zeichen der Entgrenzung der Künste“ (SFB 626 ) an der Freien Universität Berlin gelehrt und geforscht. Derzeit arbeite ich als Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Medienwissenschaft der Philipps-Universität Marburg.

Ann-Charlott Schneider
PhD candidate, Uniklinik Köln
Wie Dinge funktionieren hat mich sehr interessiert und deswegen in die Naturwissenschaften eingestiegen. Da unser Immunsystem in all unseren Lebenslagen, ob gesund oder krank, involviert ist, habe ich dies schnell zu meinen Hauptfokus im Studium gemacht. Seit 2015 habe ich eine Stelle als Doktorandin , wo ich mich mit der Frage beschäftige: warum Hornhauttransplante fast immer abgestoßen werden, wenn der Patient oder die Patientin Blut- oder Lymphgefäße in der Hornhaut hat. Die gibt es in der gesunden Hornhaut nämlich nicht! Vor meinem PhD habe ich eine Zeit an Immunotherapie gegen Krebs gearbeitet. ------ How things work has always been intriguing to me. That is what lead me to study "applied biology". As our immune system is involved in health and disease I quickly got very interested in it and made it the focus of my studies. Since 2015 I am now working on my PhD project, which looks at why cornea transplants are almost certainly rejected by patients who have ingrowth of blood and lymphatic vessels in their cornea. These vessels do not exists in healthy corneas. Prior to my PhD I also worked with NK based immunotherapy against cancers.

Ich bin Verwaltungswissenschaftlerin und interessiere mich für das Personal- und das Wissensmanagement im öffentlichen Sektor. Über beide Themen kann ich viel berichten, auch über den öffentlichen Sektor hinaus. Ich kann erklären wie (die deutsche) Verwaltung überhaupt aufgebaut ist, wie sich Verwaltung managen lässt und wie es um Themen wie Digitalisierung oder Diversität im öffentlichen Sektor bestellt ist. Als ich mit dem Studium begann (B.A. Politik- und Kommunikationswissenschaft, M.A. Verwaltungswissenschaft), habe ich mich ziemlich blind in ein Abenteuer gestürzt. Ich habe das Fach von Beginn an geliebt, auch wenn das Studium vollkommen anders war, als ich es erwartet hatte. Ich möchte Schüler:innen gern erzählen, wie ein sozialwissenschaftliches Studium aussehen kann, sodass sie nicht ganz so blind dieses Abenteuer beginnen müssen. Auch informiere ich gern über eine berufliche Perspektive im deutschen öffentlichen Dienst oder einer Non-Profit-Organisation.

Severin Uebbing
Lecturer, Universiteit Utrecht
I am a biologist interested in the diversity and evolution of land vertebrates. The dazzling array of mammals, birds, and their allies that we see around us today, differ by adaptations which are unique to each those organisms. I aim to figure out the molecular and developmental details of some of these adaptations in different animals. I use a combination of computational and experimental approaches to investigate these questions. During my PhD I studied how evolution of the transcriptome influenced bird sex chromosome evolution and speciation. In my postdoctoral research I studied the influence of enhancer sequence mutations on the gene regulation in primate and human brain development. I studied in Heidelberg (BSc) and Uppsala (MSc, PhD), before doing postdoctoral research at Yale University. I am currently an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University. Feel free to contact me with questions, also about demonstrations of experiments/equipment.

Rebecca Berrens
PostDoc, Cambridge University CRUK-CI
I started studying molecular biology at the University of Heidelberg after I had been fascinated with this subject in school and I wanted to become a scientist. During my Bachelors and Masters degree in Heidelberg I tried to gain as much hands-on expertise in labs as possible with projects in Heidelberg, Cambridge as well as in the US. I then pursued a PhD in Epigenetics at the University of Cambridge and studied jumping genes or transposable elements. I was fascinated with the fact that we commonly believe that genetic information in every cell of our body is the same which is only true for protein-coding genes, which make up 2% of the genome. In fact, 50% of the genome is comprised of transposable elements which can change their genomic position. Due to such mobility, transposable elements can cause genetic diseases and cancer. Since 1 year I am a postdoctoral scientist at same University but in another laboratory studying the role of transposable elements in early mammalian development.

Claudia Sybille Kielkopf
PhD candidate, University of Wollongong/IHMRI
In school, I was most fascinated when biology and chemistry overlapped and so I came to study Biochemistry in Tuebingen, Germany. After my bachelor's degree, I wanted to live abroad and took a more medical master's degree in Experimental and Medical Biosciences in Linkoeping, Sweden. Combining my interest in Alzheimer's disease and protein biochemistry, I now research the structure and function of a protein that is protective in Alzheimer's disease in Wollongong, Australia. I'm fascinated by how complex the processes in our body and in every of our cells are. In most cases, everything works perfectly fine. However, small mistakes can give rise to a cascade of things going wrong and lead to diseases like Alzheimer's disease or cancer. I'm curious to try to understand these processes and see where things can go wrong. Additionally, I'm passionate about inspiring kids, and especially girls, to be curious about nature and the world we live in. Science helps us to understand how things work and to me, it's absolutely fascinating to get to the bottom of things. Therefore, I have fun showing science to others!

I grew up in a small town in regional Australia, and although I always liked science I never really new what jobs were available as a scientist. I decided to go to University and complete a science degree, and while I was there I fell in love with DNA and learning about DNA technology. I decided to go on to further study and completed an Honours degree and a PhD. When I had finished my PhD I was fortunate enough to get a job at the same University where I studied, and so now I get to teach genetics and molecular biology to another generation of students. I also work with a research team looking at how genetics can impact on mental health, which is really rewarding to think one day our work could help lots of people who suffer from depression or other mental health conditions

Ich habe mein Bachelor- und Masterstudium an der Universität Heidelberg absolviert und hierbei meine Passion für die Entwicklungsbiologie entwickelt. Meine Doktorarbeit habe ich anschließend am Universitätsklinikum Freiburg durchgeführt. Nach der Doktorarbeit habe ich zunächst Erfahrung außerhalb der Forschung in einem Software-Unternehmen mit medizinischer Ausrichtung gesammelt. Während dieser Zeit habe ich mich dazu entschieden, dass meine Zukunft in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung liegen soll, da mich diese Arbeit vollständig begeistert. Aktuell arbeite ich am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum und arbeite u.a. mit Darm-Organoiden von Mäusen. Diese relativ neue und spektakuläre Technik beruht auf der Aktivität von adulten Stammzellen und deren Fähigkeit selbständig 3D-Strukturen zu generieren, welche dem Ursprungs-Organ der Stammzelle sehr stark ähneln. Diese Technik erlaubt es uns Forschern viele komplexe Prozesse die im Modelltier (z.B. der Maus) oder dem Menschen ablaufen in vitro, d.h. außerhalb des lebenden Organismus, nachzustellen und zu untersuchen. Dadurch kann u.a. die Zahl von Tierversuchen deutlich reduziert werden.

My main language is German - in my jobs, I speak German and English. I’d like to speak about my two fields of activity: Project collaboration (and the included communication) of research projects with partners in Europe, Africa and India – this collaboration could be interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary. Here, I could speak about (1) experiences from the Swiss Tropical and Public Health-Institute and my work there as well as (2) about my research on communication optimisation. My second field is applied linguistics – in research and teaching. I’m teaching master students in Berlin with focus on languages for specific purposes (business communication, scientific communication etc.), multilingualism and German as a foreign language. But I could also speak about different topics related to linguistics. Maybe someone wants to ask my about life in academia, commuting between cities and countries… ;-)

I loved biology already in school and headed for a life science career (biology/biomedicine). During my studies, I discovered toxicology which was both interesting from a scientific point of view - understanding how toxic substances act requires thorough understanding of the function of the body, the cell etc. - and a sociological point of view - everything we are exposed to in everyday life could be harmful and a threat to people - and everyone easily understands the need for toxicological testing. During my PhD, I studied the influence of nanoparticles on our DNA and got acquainted to the fascinating world of very small particles and their effects on the human body. I ended up in industry, assessing medical device and cosmetic products for dental care. Explaining scientific matter to lay people or colleagues from other disciplines is always a great pleasure for me. I love being the bridge between science and society!

Mit Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) verbinde ich zwei meiner Leidenschaften: eLearning (also grob Lernen mit Medien, meist über das Internet) und freie Bildung, insb. freie Bildungsmaterialien, auch Open Educational Ressources (OER) genannt. In meiner Arbeit erstelle ich gemeinsam mit Fachautorinnen und -autoren sowie unserem Produduktionsteam offene Online-Kurse für alle. Diese Lernform gibt es noch nicht sehr lange, und so erforschen wir einige Aspekte rings herum um diese offenen Lernformaten. Für meine Arbeit kooperiere ich mit vielen Akteurinnen und Akteuren in Deutschland und international, bin daher auch auf Twitter und in den Sozialen Medien aktiv. Dabei wollte ich damals eigentlich 3D-animierte Filme erstellen, weil ich Ice Age so toll fand. Deswegen hatte ich mich für ein Medieninformatikstudium entschieden. Dann war aber am Mittwoch frei, einzig das Proseminar eLearning war wirklich sinnvoll – und so verlief mein weiterer Weg.

PostDoc, Max-Planck-Institut für Kognitions- und Neurowissenschaften
Kern meines Interesses ist es, geistige Prozesse wie Denken und Fühlen besser zu verstehen. Dazu habe ich erst Kognitionswissenschaft in Osnabrück und Montreal studiert, wo ich mich auf die Fähigkeit der Sprache aus Sicht der (Computer-)Linguistik und Psychologie konzentriert habe. Während meines Masterstudiums der "Brain and Mind Sciences" in Paris und London habe ich dann die Biologie des Sprachverstehens bei Gesunden und Patienten studiert und erforscht. Danach (u.a. während einer Weltreise) wurde mir klar, wie wichtig nicht-sprachliche Prozesse wie Emotionen und Gefühle sind - und dass ich diese erforschen wollte. Seither ist die Neurophysiologie der Emotion mein Haupt-Forschungsthema: Erst mit einer philosophisch-psychiatrischen Doktorarbeit an der Charité/Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, seitdem bei Gesunden (aus eher neurologischer Perspektive) am Max-Planck-Institut für Kognitions- und Neurowissenschaften in Leipzig. Schwerpunkt sind die Interaktion von Herz und Hirn (u.a. mittels Elektrokardiographie und Magnetresonanztomographie) und der Brückenschlag zwischen Labor und Alltag (u.a. mittels Smartphone-basierten Messverfahren und Virtual Reality Aufbauten).

Die Chance auf eine individuelle Betrachtung meiner Fähigkeiten hatte ich zu Schulzeiten leider nie. Was folgte waren frustrierende Erlebnisse in der Arbeitswelt und Selbstzweifel. Durch einen Zufall bin ich mit Mitte 20 in einem Selbstfindungs- und Berufsorientierungsseminar gelandet und verfolge seitdem kontinuierlich meinen Weg. Ich berate und betreue Menschen in Aus- und Weiterbildung - seit 2018 selbstständig. Ich beschäftige mich mit Alternativen zur klassischen Berufsberatung und zeitgemäßer Beratung von jungen Menschen. Ich, Jahrgang 1987, bin zertifizierte Bildungsberaterin, Bachelor of Arts (Medienwirtschaft) und IHK-geprüfte Ausbilderin. Wohnort derzeit Köln

Martin Sommer
PhD candidate, Hochschule RheinMain
Über ein duales Studium zum Systemingeieur mit paralleler IHK Ausbildung zum Mechatroniker, bin ich zur Wissenschaft gekommen. Nach dem Bachelor folgte ein Masterstudium der angewandten Physik und die Bearbeitung eines ersten Forschungsprojektes im Bereich Medizintechnik. Im Anschluss an den Master begann ich meine Arbeit als Laboringenieur in den Laboren für elektrische Messtechnik und Sensorik. Parallel dazu startete ich eine Promotion auf dem Gebiet der Mikrosystemtechnik mit dem Ziel, verbesserte Gassensoren für einen Industriepartner zu entwickeln. In meinem Arbeitsalltag betreue ich Studierende bei ihren Praktika und Laborversuchen, welche ich gleichzeitig weiterentwickle und aktuell halte. Daneben verbringe ich viel Zeit im Reinraum und den angrenzenden Vakuumtechnik Laboren mit der Entwicklung der MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) Strömungssensoren welche in Gassensoren eingesetzt werden. Generell entwickle ich gerne Elektronik oder konstruiere selbst die Teile, die ich benötige und vermittle dieses Wissen auch gerne an interessierte Menschen weiter. Kurzum, Dinge ans Laufen zu bringen und kreative Lösungen mit beschränkten Mitteln zu finden macht mehr Spaß, als man sich vorstellen kann und ist für mich ein Traumjob!

Ich kam ein wenig über Umwege zu meiner jetzigen Leidenschaft, den kleinen Bakterien. Nach einem missglückten Bauingenieur-Studium habe ich mich dann aber besonnen und das begonnen, was während meiner Schulzeit am spannendsten war: Biologie. Ich habe eine Ausbildung zum BTA absolviert und bin danach für das Studium "medical biology" nach Nimwegen in Holland gehüpft. Nach dem master habe ich mich komplett der Trinkwasserhygiene verschrieben und am deutschen Referenzlabor für Legionellen promoviert. Nun bin ich in Heidelberg und versuche die Suche nach möglichen Bakterienübertragungen zu beschleunigen... Ich erzähle gerne mehr über die Projekte, die ich bisher bearbeitet habe. Aber da muss man Zeit mitbringen.

Ich bin mit Leib und Seele Bodenökologe, mit Fokus auf die Bodenmesofauna, also Springschwänze, Milben, etc.. Ich erforsche, warum sie dort leben, wie sie interagieren, wie sie sich auf die Bodengesundheit auswirken und wie sie auf Verschmutzungen reagieren. In diesem Zusammenhang bestimme ich auch immer wieder die Bodenfauna, was ich gerne auch erkläre. Am Anfang des Studiums habe ich mich mit Insekten befasst, die in ecuadorianischen Regenwäldern auf Baumrinden leben. Ab dem Masterstudium habe ich mich dann auf die komplexe Welt der Bodenökologie eingelassen und bin seitdem nicht mehr davon losgekommen. Es gibt einfach noch zu viel, was wir nicht wissen.

I am a PostDoc in the Astroinformatics group at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies. Astronomy has always been a passion since I was a kid. So, I studied Physics and Astrophysics at the University of Naples, in Italy. Then I obtained my PhD in Astronomy at the University of Heidelberg, in Germany. I am mainly interested in the application of machine learning and data mining techniques for the solution of astronomical problems. I work with deep learning technologies based on GPU computing and recently I focused my research activity on the cosmological field, being interested in the problem of photometric redshift estimation. Being also interested in public outreach, I collaborate with Tom's Hardware Italia for the production of scientific contents. At the moment I have more than 50 articles published on the website. My main passions and hobbies are sport, martial arts, reading, cinema and role playing games.

PhD candidate, Technische Universität München
Ich war schon von Kindheit an begeistert von Naturwissenschaften, besonders der Chemie. Nach dem Abi war die Studienrichtung also schon völlig klar. Im Bachelor bin ich dann über einen großartigen Professor zur Toxikologie gekommen, die dann über die Bachelorarbeit zu meinem Schwerpunkt wurde. Darauf folgte fast zwangsläufig der Master in Toxikologie und die Promotion mit paralleler Weiterbildung zum Fachtoxikologen. Die Toxikologie ist aufgrund ihrer Bandbreite und Alltagsrelevanz zu meiner Lieblingsdisziplin der Naturwissenschaften geworden. Da ich eigentlich jedes Fach interessant finde, wollte ich nie ganz tief in einer Disziplin graben. Toxikologie dagegen verbindet Chemie, Biologie, Medizin, Physik, Epidemiologie, Statistik und auch soziologische Aspekte und ist für mich im Alltag überall sichtbar. Mein Wissen weiterzugeben und für Naturwissenschaften begeistern war immer schon mein Ding, quasi alle meine Nebenjobs in den letzten 10 Jahren gingen Richtung Tutorien und Nachhilfe auf verschiedene Arten.

***ENGLISH VERSION*** I grew up in Aachen, Germany, and was always very curious how things work. At the end of school I decided I am very courious about science and wanted to study something related. I opted for physics, as it covers a very broad field and I still had time before choosing a more definite specialization. I did my B.Sc. in Aachen and my M.Sc in Aachen and Santiago, Chile. I worked in my Master thesis in Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, on an combined scanning tunnelling microscope / atomic force microscope mostly focusing on method developement. Afterwards I moved to San Sebastian, Spain, continuing the research on a similar machine. The focus shifted to on surface chemistry, namely bottom-up synthesis of graphene nanoribbon based structures and their electronic structure. ***DEUTSCHE VERSION*** Ich bin in Aachen, Deutschland, aufgewachsen und war immer interessiert daran, wie Dinge funktionieren. Gegen Ende der Schulzeit habe ich mich sehr für Naturwissenschaften interessiert und wollte etwas in diese Richtung studieren. Ich habe Physik ausgewählt, da es ein sehr breit angelegter Studiengang ist und ich so noch etwas mehr Zeit vor einer weiteren Spezialisierung hatte. Ich habe meinen B.Sc. in Aachen und meinen M.Sc. in Aachen und Santiago, Chile, absolviert. In meiner Masterarbeit im Forschungszentrum Jülich, Deutschland, habe ich mit einem kombinierten Rastertunnel- / Rasterkraftmikroskop gearbeitet. Der Fokus lag auf der Entwicklung neuer Mess- und Manipulationsmethoden. Im Anschluss bin ich nach San Sebastian, Spanien, gegangen, um meine Forschung an einem gleichen Mikroskop fortzusetzen. Ich habe allerdings den Forschungsschwerpunkt in Richtung Oberflächenchemie verschoben, insbesondere die "bottom-up" Synthese von Graphen Nanostreifen basierten Strukturen aus kleineren Vorgängermolekülen und die elektronische Struktur dieser Strukturen. ***VERSIONA ESPAÑOLA*** Crecío en Aquisgrán, Alemania, y siempre me interesó como funcionan las cosas. Al final del colegio me interesó bastante la ciencias naturales y quería estudiar algo de ese campo. Elegí física porque es una carrera muy amplia y pude elegir más tarde mi especialisación. Hice mi B.Sc. en Aquisgrán y mi M.Sc. en Aquisgrán y Santiago, Chile. En mi tésis del master trabajé en Jülich, Alemania, en un combinado microscopio de efecto túnel / microscopio de fuerza atómica enfocado en el desarollo de la tecnica. Después seguía con un doctorado en San Sebastian, España, con una máquina parecida. El foco de estudios cambió hacía química de superficies, en particular el sintesis "bottom-up" de estructuras nano basado en grapheno y la investigación de su estructura electronica.

Ich bin physikalische Ozeanographin, forsche also zu den physikalischen Vorgängen auf und in den Meeren. Dabei faszinieren mich vor allem kleinskalige Turbulenzen nahe der Ozeanoberfläche und wie sie den Austausch von Treibhausgasen zwischen der Atmosphäre und den Ozeanen beeinflussen. Nach meinem Abitur habe ich in Hamburg Ozeanographie studiert und dann in Galway (Irland) in der Physik promoviert. Im Moment arbeite ich als PostDoc an der Universität in Uppsala (Schweden) und arbeite hier mit ozeangraphischen Messdaten aus der Ostsee.

Dennis Rätzel
PostDoc, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin
Ich bin theoretischer Physiker und bei meiner Arbeit beschäftige ich mich hauptsächlich mit Gravitation, Raum und Zeit und den Effekten auf Licht und Materie. Dabei finde ich solche Materie besonders interessant, die sehr kalt ist oder sich unter extrem genauer, mikroskopischer Kontrolle befindet. In den meisten Fällen muss die Quantentheorie zur Beschreibung solcher Materiesysteme verwendet werden. Quantensysteme und Licht zeigen interessante Effekte, wenn sie sich in Gravitationsfeldern befinden. Einerseits schlage ich dann Experimente vor, mit denen man mehr über das Zusammenspiel von Gravitation, Raum, Zeit, Licht und Materie lernen kann. Andererseits untersuche ich, ob man mit Quantensystemen besonders genau Gravitationsfelder messen könnte. Mit sehr genauer Messtechnik für Gravitation kann man zum Beispiel Bodenschätze finden oder die Änderung des Grundwasserspiegels untersuchen. Ich interessierte mich schon während meiner Schulzeit sehr für Physik, schwankte aber kurz nach dem Abitur noch etwas zwischen Medizin, Philosophie und Physik. Am Ende entschied ich mich für Physik und bereute es, nachdem ich das Grundstudium überstanden hatte, auch selten. Während meiner Diplomarbeit beschäftigte ich mich mit beschleunigten Ladungen und in meiner Doktorarbeit mit verallgemeinerten Raumzeittheorien. Wir stellten die Frage, wie Einsteins Relativitätstheorien aussehen würden, wenn zum Beispiel verschiedene Lichtpolarisationen unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten hätten (wie in einem doppelbrechenden Kristall). Nach meiner Promotion nahm ich mir eine Auszeit von der Physik und produzierte einen Dokumentarfilm namens Undune über das Forschungsthema eines Bekannten, Terra Preta, eine von Menschen geschaffene Bodenform, und setzte es in Zusammenhang mit der Besiedlung des Planeten Mars (https://vimeo.com/136765705). Nach zwei Jahren stieg ich wieder in die Physik ein mit Arbeiten zum Gravitationsfeld von Licht. Dann verbrachte ich zwei Jahre an der Uni Wien, wo ich begann, an meinen derzeitigen Forschungsthemen zu arbeiten. Zusammen mit einem interdisziplinären Team habe ich in meiner Freizeit ein Wissenschaftskommunikationsspiel zu Physik namens Sciddle The Science Riddle entworfen und verbreitet. Details zum Spiel findet man hier https://www.startnext.com/sciddle (Das Spiel ist als PDF online frei verfügbar: Deutsche Version https://www.dropbox.com/s/9j7cciqbobe7wiz/sciddle_deutsch_rueckseiten.pdf?dl=0 Englische Version https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ee14drq2u51dt8/sciddle_back_english_background.pdf?dl=0). Das Spiel eignet sich ausgezeichnet für den Physikunterricht und wird von mit mir befreundeten Lehrern oft eingesetzt.

Anne Senkel
PhD candidate, TU Hamburg, Institut für Technische Thermodynamik
Nach dem Abitur in den "klassischen" Ingenieursfächern Mathe-Physik 2011 war klar, dass ein technisches Studium folgen sollte. Schon damals wollte ich an der Energiewende aktiv mitarbeiten und entschied mich für den Bachelor in Umwelt- und Energieprozesstechnik in Magdeburg. Mein Praktikum und die Bachelorarbeit absolvierte ich 2014/15 bei der MAN Diesel & Turbo. Die Kühlung von Schiffsmotoren war zwar nicht mehr ganz so nahe an der Energiewende, aber trotzdem sehr spannend. Mein Masterstudium (2015-17) widmete ich dann ganz der Enegietechnik und zog hierfür nach Hamburg. Während des Studiums arbeitete ich mich in die dynamische Simulation von Energiesystemen ein. Für meine Masterarbeit simulierte ich den Wärmebedarf eines Wohngebäudes. Seit anderhalb Jahre arbeite ich als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Technische Thermodynamik der TU Hamburg und promoviere über die Resilienz (Versorgungssicherheit) im Wärmesektor.

Claudia Wieners
PostDoc, Utrecht University
After my PhD in climate physics (mainly El Niño) I realised that the biggest problem in climate science is - humanity. Therefore I started a postdoc on climate policy and in particular geoengineering. Geoengineering means artificial large-scale manipulation of the Earth system (e.g. by producing thin artificial clouds in the high atmosphere to reflect some sunlight). I do not believe that Geoengineering can "solve" the climate problem; in my opinion, it can at most (!) be an addition to CO2 reduction, but never a replacement. Apart from climate science, I can also tell about the 1783 Lakagígar eruption in Iceland, which is not only a dramatic story but also fascinating case study of the important role of economy and governance in "natural" disasters.

Technical assistant, Webseite Skeptical Science
Ich habe keinen wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund, durfte aber bei Scientists4Future als Bürgerwissenschaftlerin mitunterzeichnen, da ich durch meine Mithilfe bei Skeptical Science einige Veröffentlichungen als Co-Autorin bei unseren Konsensstudien habe. Bei Skeptical Science helfe in meiner Freizeit mit (in meinem Vollzeitjob arbeite ich in der IT bei einem deutschen Reinigungsgeräte-Hersteller). Durch meine Mithilfe bei Skeptical Science (und unserem MOOC Denial101x - http://bit.ly/Denial101x) liegt mein Schwerpunkt auf dem Erkennen und erfolgreichem Widerlegen von Falschinformationen rund um den menschengemachten Klimawandel. Ich habe bereits einige Präsentationen (gerade wieder auf der EGU in Wien - https://skepticalscience.com/Skeptical_Science_EGU_2019-recap-Monday.html) und Workshops basierend auf Materialien von John Cook gehalten. Mehr über meinen Hintergrund finden Sie hier: http://sks.to/BaerbelW. Ich betreibe also keine eigenen Forschungen, halte es aber für enorm wichtig, Schülern und anderen interessierten Personen, mehr über die Grundlagen des Klimawandels und vor allem wie/warum diese regelmäßig verdreht dargestellt werden, zu vermitteln. Bitte lassen Sie es mich wissen, wenn Sie Fragen zu dieser wahrscheinlich etwas ungewöhnlichen Registrierung haben!

Ich habe jüngst meine Masterarbeit abgeschlossen und arbeite seit Juni 2019 als Doktorand am Lehrstuhl für Datenbanksysteme in Heidelberg. Zur Informatik hat mich hauptsächlich mein Mathelehrer im Gymnasium bewegt. Er bot neben den regulären Unterrichtsstunden zusätzliche Programmierkurse für Schüler an. Zudem war ich während meines Studiums für ein Jahr an der University of Toronto, wo ich feststellen musste, dass sich das Studienklima in verschiedenen Ländern sehr stark unterscheiden kann. Diese Unterschiede (aber auch Gemeinsamkeiten) sind ein Thema von großem Interesse für mich! --- I've recently finished my Master's thesis, and started as a PhD student at the Database Research Chair in Heidelberg in June 2019. The main reason I'm working as a computer scientist today is perhaps my maths teacher from high school. He offered additional programming courses for interested students. I've also been abroad for a year at the University of Toronto, which really opened up my eyes towards different student cultures, a topic that I'm highly curious about nowadays.

Professional, Institut für Technikfolgenabschätzung und Systemanalyse (ITAS)
In meinem Berufsalltag beschäftige ich mich mit sozialwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen rund um die deutsche Energiewende, beispielsweise wie kommen wir zu einem klimafreundlichen Mobilitätsverhalten? Welche staatlichen Rahmenbedingungen brauchen wir für eine Energie- und Verkehrswende? Wie müssten energie- und klimapolitische Instrumente dann ausgestaltet sein? Und wie können Bürgerinnen und Bürger dabei in den Forschungsprozess einbezogen werden? Neben diesen und anderen Themen interessiere ich mich auch für breitere Fragestellungen im Kontext von Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit im Alltag. Auch ich hätte es damals sehr geschätzt, wenn es einen direkten Austausch im Klassenzimmer mit Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern gegeben hätte. Deshalb gebe ich gerne einen Einblick in den Arbeitsbereich der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung zur Energiewende, berichte von meinen Erfahrungen in der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung oder beantworte Fragen zu Studien- bzw. Berufsmöglichkeiten. Derzeit arbeite ich am Institut für Technikfolgenabschätzung und Systemanalyse (ITAS) am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) im Bereich der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung zur Energiewende. Zuvor war ich am Fraunhofer Institut für System- und Innovationsforschung ISI im Bereich der Energieforschung beschäftigt und arbeitete zeitgleich als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft und Politik beim Sachverständigenrat für Umweltfragen (SRU), einem wissenschaftlichen Beratungsgremium zur deutschen Umweltpolitik.

PhD candidate, TU Munich
Our modern society heavily relies on computer systems – not only obvious technologies such as smartphones, computers and the internet depend on it, but also many modern means of transport, logistics, medical devices and household appliances. In many of these areas, faulty applications can endanger human lives. Hence, we need to assess risks of these technologies rigorously, for instance, using formal methods. When I first came across this field of computer science, I was fascinated by the idea to prove that systems comply with or violate their specification, to systematically estimate success probabilitites of attacks on computer systems and to even detect faulty behaviour during the execution of a system. After my studies, I wanted to explore and contribute to that exciting area of computer science and that’s why I am now a PhD student in the area of formal methods.

Ich habe ein Chemiestudium an der RWTH Aachen absolviert und mich auf Festkörperchemie und Computerchemie spezialisiert. Im Rahmen meiner Promotion habe ich elektronische Eigenschaften und Schwingungseigenschaften von Festkörpern mittels quantenchemischer bzw. computerchemischer Methoden berechnet. In meinem Postdoc suche ich nun mittels Hochdurchsatzrechnungen und Datenanalyse nach Materialien mit spannenden Eigenschaften. Dazu wird ein tiefes Verständnis der Physik/Chemie und die Fähigkeit, Computerprogramme zu schreiben, benötigt. Neue Materialien könnten zum Beispiel Solarzellen oder Kühlschränke verbessern. Die Gruppe, in der ich im Moment forsche, arbeitet zudem auch am sogenannten Materials Project (https://materialsproject.org/) mit, welches unter anderem eine Datenbank mit berechneten Materialeigenschaften pflegt und ausbaut. Auf diese Datenbank lässt sich auch mittels einer Website zugreifen, die sich gut im Rahmen eines Videotelefonats vorstellen lässt.

I already liked mathematics in school and I had some amazing maths teachers. Rather out of a gut feeling I decided to study mathematics at the University of Münster in Germany. After finishing my BSc and MSc I did a PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Cambridge in the UK. I worked as a research associate at The Alan Turing Institute in London for six months and at the Graz University of Technology in Austria for two and a half years. Currently, I am a scientific associate at the Heine Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (HeiCAD), Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. HeiCAD aims to promote, coordinate and publicly represent activities at the university in the fields of AI and data science. In my PhD and post-docs I worked in the fields of mathematical imaging, data science and machine learning. One aspect I really liked about my research was that I could apply theoretical methods to real-world problems, especially in the field of biomedicine, and work in interdisciplinary teams. I am passionate about science communication, equal opportunities and women encouragement.

Ein massives, menschgemachtes Artensterben bedroht das Funktionieren unserer Ökosysteme und damit unsere Lebensgrundlagen. Programme zum Monitoring von Biodiversität schaffen überhaupt erst die Datengrundlage, damit wir die Veränderung von Zahl und Verbreitung der Arten beschreiben und quantifizieren können. Monitoring-Methoden, die Veränderung unserer heimischen Lebensgemeinschaften und die Ursachen dafür, aber auch was wir dagegen tun können und Fallbeispiele für erfolgreiche Artenschutz-Projekte - das alles sind Themen zu denen ich gerne aus meiner Arbeit berichte. Darüber hinaus auch gerne zu Natur- und Vogelschutz, Wildbiologie, heimische Tierarten, Artenkenntnis.

Ich habe mich schon immer für Sprachen, andere Kulturen und ihre Geschichte(n) begeistert. Ich glaube fest daran, dass ein Verständnis von anderen Kulturen wie wir es über ihre Literatur, Filme oder Fernsehen gewinnen können, uns Empathie und Neugierde auf das Andere lehrt und die Welt so ein kleines bisschen besser machen kann. Meine Dissertation zum Thema Männlichkeit in englischen Fernsehserien befasst sich daher mit Fragen, die die Geschlechterverhältnisse betreffen. Außer dem großen Themenbereich Gender interessieren mich die Klassiker der englischen Literatur (z.B. Jane Austen, viktorianische Autoren, romantische Dichter), Adaptionsforschung und postkoloniale Literatur.

I am actively promoting the interaction between non-scientists and scientists. If you have an audience that is interested in science or wants to become interested do not hesitate to contact me. Also, if you are a journalist seeking advice on a topic within my experise you may contact me. See www.posske.de for details. My research is about mesoscopic quantum structures in solid state physics. I am currently particulary interested in the application of topology and differential geometry, describing the behavior of spin chains, anyons, and Majorana fermions in the realm of topological/adiabatic/holonomic quantum computing. Before, I have worked on the Kondo effect for the quantum spin Hall insulator with special focus on the Kondo cloud as well as the influence of magnetic and superconducting materials on the edge states of three dimensional topological insulators and hybrid systems consisting of a trivial insulator and a topological insulator.

Research scientist, ARAconsult
Nach meinem Studium der Umwelttechnik habe ich im Bereich der Abwasserreinigung promoviert und arbeite heute an energieeffizienter und innovativer Abwasserreinigung. Ich beschäftige mich mit der Planung von Anlagen und Prozessen sowie mit der Simulation von Abwasserreinigung und innovativen Energiekonzepten. Obwohl das Wissen in der Forschung sehr groß ist, bleibt es für die breite Bevölkerung oft unsichtbar, wie auch die Debatte um den Klimawandel zeigt. Privat beschäftige ich mich auch gerne mit Pseudowissenschaft, dem wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten und Forschung außerhalb des Elfenbeinturms.

Wie wählen wir relevante Signale aus unserer Umwelt aus und wie werden diese mit bereits bestehenden Informationen integriert? Als Psychologie untersuche ich diese Fragen anhand von Wahrnehmungs-Experimente am Modell des visuellen Systems. Der Fokus meiner Forschung liegt hierbei auf dem Wechselspiel von Augenbewegungen, Aufmerksamkeitsprozessen, dem visuellen Gedächtnis und der visuellen Wahrnehmung. Hierfür nutze ich Eye-tracking, Psychophysik, computationale Modellierung und eine Vielfalt neuer statistischer Verfahren.

PhD candidate, ETH Zurich / Department Biosystems (D-BSSE)
I am a Biochemist-Neuroscientist by training who is currently exploring the mechanisms of patterning of the developing human brain. I am fascinated by the potential of stem cell research and apply it in my doctoral work to create brain organoids, 3D cellular structures that resemble many aspects of the human brain during embryonic and fetal stages. I really enjoy learning new things and I am deeply interested in sharing my experiences in a way that is enjoyable for everybody. I love contributing to the spread of scientific knowledge and believe that a different, more interactive teaching system is possible.

Andreas Pfennig
Professor, University of Liège / Department of Chemical Engineering
I studied Chemical Engineering at RWTH Aachen, after Ph.D. and habilitation became professor there. Later moved to TU Graz, Austria, and University of Liége, Belgium, my current position. In my research I investigate thermal separation processes like distillation and extraction. To describe the activities, i usually say I deal with schnaps distillation and making coffee (extraction). Of course we actually deal with technical processes e.g. in chemical industry, which apply these technologies to a wide variety of products. More than 10 years ago, I wanted to know, what the future challenges in Chemical Engineering would be. I investigated that by setting up balances for global processes: What do we need to feed humanity, to supply sufficient fuel, etc. and what can we sustainably supply. Besides learning that bio-based chemistry is the future in chemistry, it became clear that it is not only technological development that is required, but also changes in behavior with respect to number of children and animal-based food are essential. Since then I have been continually updating and refining these balances. I developed written material, YouTube videos, a book, and a website, in which I present the methods applied as well as the consequences: www.vision3000.eu. I believe that especially, if behavioral changes are required, we have to be frankly explaining why. Otherwise these changes will not happen.

PostDoc, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany
English version below. Hallo, ich bin ein theoretischer Physiker mit einer Leidenschaft für Höchstleistungscomputer. Beides lässt sich gut in meiner Forschung zu komplexen Fluiden und Polymere, einem Feld der Materialforschung und statistischen Physik verbinden. Auch wenn ich mich hauptsächlich mit Grundlagenforschung beschäftige, haben diese neuen Materialien Anwendungen z.B. für Batterien, Membrane oder auch Autoreifen. Mein Abitur habe ich in Lübeck am Katharineum zu Lübeck im Jahr 2010 gemacht. Anschließend habe ich mein Bachelorstudium in Physik in Göttingen begonnen. Aus einem Bachelor wurde ein Master und anschließend eine Promotion. Im Moment mache ich noch einen kurzen PostDoc bei meinem Doktorvater bevor ich mir einen weiteren PostDoc im Ausland suchen werde. Gerne spreche ich mit Schülern über Physik, Informatik, aktuelle Forschung und das Leben an der Universität. English version: Hi I am a physicist with a passion for high performance computing. Fortunately, my research is a combination of both. I am simulating complex fluids and polymer for the next generation of materials. My work is mostly fundamental research but applications range among batteries, membranes or car tires. I finished my high school (German Abitur) in Lübeck, nothern Germany in 2010. Göttingen was the city of my Bachelor/Master and Ph.D. studies in physics. Currently, I am still working in Göttingen but for the future I am looking a PostDoc overseas. I am happy to about physics, computer science, my research and life at a German university.

Maria Wirzberger
Junior professor, University of Stuttgart
How can we best tailor learning situations to the learners and help them to achieve their educational goals in the long term? To answer this question, I connect educational theory, psychological methodology and intelligent algorithms. My ultimate goal is to create intelligent educational technologies that can adapt to learners’ individual needs in various contexts and provide optimal instructional support. Methodologically,  I use a broad portfolio of experimentally obtained measures as well as computer-based simulations. My particular topics of interest are cognitive load assessment, adaptive guidance fading, distraction, task interruption and attention control, education for sustainable development and individual differences in technology use.

PostDoc, Max Planck Institute for Medical Research
As a postdoc and group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Stuttgart, Germany, I utilize bioengineering strategies to identify mechanosensitive mechanisms underpinning cancer cell migration. Most notably, we have shown that cancer cells are capable of dynamically switching their migration mechanisms to invade into tight spaces. In addition to our cancer mechanobiology work, we have also developed a stiffness gradient hydrogel platform compatible with high content image analysis, allowing us to monitor mechanosensitive stem cell behavior in over 10,000 cells per well.

I believe that answering and discussing your question is an important way of transporting scientific results. I'm actually not a junior professor but my job is so unique and in-between so many things that the scheme here doesn't fit. :) I'm a scientists who leads a kind of think tank, a synthesis centre dealing with all aspects of biodiversity research questions. I'm a trained wildlife ecologist who after being for several years a postdoc changed from being a pure scientist to managing science and its processes behind. I'm still doing research and was among the most cited ecologists globally in 2018. Outreach-wise I gave a TEDx talk (tiny.cc/aliens) and also give regularly media interviews about biodiversity and/or climate change related issues. I also speak often to the public, e.g. at schools or science nights etc. I also talk regularly to stakeholders and politicians.

Valentin Goldberg
PhD candidate, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
I made my Abitur in 2012 in Heidenheim an der Brenz with a focus on natural sciences. Since I had a great geography teacher who teached us a lot about geology and economics I decided to study Applied Geosciences at the KIT. The Bachelor Studies were broad studies about the processes on and in our earth. During my Bachelor studies I further did a 3 month internship about sustainable urban land use and environmental assesment. My bachelor thesis' topic where the analysis of chemical processes of iron and gold deposits in Iran. After my graduation I worked for 7 months in a StartUp in Karlsruhe and developed content for digital learning materials for different types of school. In 2016 I started with my master studies and focused on exploration geology which includes geothermal energy as well as the geology of oil and gas reservoirs. During the master studies I again did an internship. This time at one of the biggest energy producers in the section of research and development for geothermal energy. There I further worked almost one year besides my studies. In 2019 I finished my master studies with my master thesis about numerical modelling of geothermal systems in the greater munich area. Since September 2019 I'm a phd candidate at the departement of geothermal energy at the KIT. My studies now focus on the sustainable mineral exploration from geothermal waters.

Julius Upmeier zu Belzen
Master student, Berlin Institute of Health - Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin
After reading a newspaper article about a students project on circularization of Proteins for the iGEM competition, I decided to follow these students path and study Molecular Biotechnology in Heidelberg. One and a half years later I was part of a team for the same competition and was heavily involved with our bioinformatics efforts. I followed up on our project on predicting the function of a protein based on its amino acid sequence and wrote my Bachelors Thesis in this context. This was the foundation for a publication in Nature Machine Intelligence, which I am first author of. In Berlin I continue to work with Prof. Eils who also supervised our iGEM team, now focussing on machine-learning for genomic data and digital health. One year into my Bachelors I started studying Math in parallel to my main subject out of a general interest and some doubts whether Molecular Biology was the right choice. I stopped these efforts after a year when I became part of the iGEM Team. I'm happy to discuss these aspects as well. I enjoy communicating my science and am always interested in interdisciplinary discussions. I'm 23 years old, study in Heidelberg, work in Berlin, come from Bielefeld and plan to do a PhD in Berlin, starting in 2020.

Alexandra Schaffert
PhD candidate, Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung
Ich habe Biochemie studiert und dabei schnell meine Leidenschaft für den Umweltschutz entdeckt. Im Rahmen meiner Doktorarbeit am Umweltforschungszentrum untersuche ich menschengemachte Umweltschadstoffe, wozu z.B. in Plastik enthaltene Weichmacher zählen. Da einige davon Ähnlichkeit zu körpereigenen Hormonen haben können sie auch ähnliche Wirkungen in Menschung und Tieren haben. During my biochemistry studies I discovered my passion for environmentalism. In my PhD project I investigate environmental contaminants, such as platizicers leaching from plastic. They have similarity to endogenous hormones, thus having similar effects in our bodies and in animals.

Junior professor, Wageningen University and Research
"Was willst du denn später werden?" "Weiß noch nicht so recht, irgendwas mit Physik." "Studier doch Meteorologie! Macht eine Freundin von mir auch, die hat gerade die Chance auf der Polarstern mitzufahren!" Und so kam ich zum Meteorologie-Studium nach Hannover. Statt Schifffahrt in den Polarregionen hat es mich forschungstechnisch dann zur Promotion nach Mainz und zu flugzeuggetragenen Wolkenpartikelmessungen in den Tropen gebracht. Nach den Messungen kam erst die Modellierung, für die ich zwei Jahre nach Melbourne, Australien zog, dann Messungen in einer Wolkenkammer, verbunden mit dem Umzug nach Manchester, UK. Seit Frühjahr 2018 bin ich wieder in Deutschland, am Leibniz Institut für Troposphärenforschung. Hier möchte ich in meinem aktuellen Projekt verstehen, wie genau sich an den Wolkenrändern wolkenfreie mit wolkiger Luft mischt. Unterschiede in der Art und Weise wie dieser Mischprozess in Klimamodellen dargestellt wird verursachen einen großen Teil der Unsicherheit in den Vorhersagen der Klimasensitivität. Ein besseres Verständnis dieser Mischprozesse wird also helfen, Klimamodelle zu verbessern. Für mein Projekt benutze ich den Windkanal LACIS-T, in dem ich auch Wolken 'herstellen' kann. Parallel zu den Messungen simuliere ich die Bedingungen in dem Windkanal. So kann ich sehen, ob wir grundlegende Prozesse richtig verstanden haben.

Daniel Mietchen
Professional, University of Virginia, School of Data Science
I am a biophysicist interested in integrating research and education workflows with the World Wide Web, particularly through open licensing, open standards, open collaboration, public version histories and forkability. With research activities spanning from the subcellular to the organismic level, from fossils to developing embryos, from biodiversity informatics to data science more broadly and how this all fits with sustainable development, I experienced multiple shades of the research cycle and a variety of approaches to collaboration, sharing and reproducibility in research contexts. I have also been contributing to Wikipedia and its sister projects for almost two decades and am actively engaged in increasing the interactions between the Wikimedia and research communities, particularly around Wikidata. All of this informs my current activities as a data scientist at the University of Virginia.

Wie können moderne Gesellschaften Entscheidungen treffen bezüglich Technologien, deren potentiell negative Auswirkungen noch viele kommende Generationen betreffen werden? Diese Frage stellt sich insbesondere prominent im Bereich der Entsorgung nuklearer Abfälle. Mit Fragen der Bürgerbeteiligung und dabei insbesondere für die Frage, wie Bürger*innen mit technischen und wissenschaftlichen Informationen umgehen habe ich mich bereits in meinem Masterstudium an der Universität Roskilde interessiert. Nach einer Zwischenstation beim Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen in Genf habe ich die Thematik in meiner Dissertation vertieft, in der ich mich mit den Suchverfahren für ein Endlager für hochradioaktive Abfälle in Deutschland und der Schweiz von 2001-2010 auseinandergesetzt habe. Wie wir mit den potentiellen Risiken von Technologien langfristig umgehen können und wie wir schon heute dazu beitragen können, sicherzustellen, dass auch zukünftige Generationen noch über das Wissen un die Ressourcen verfügen, um Gefahren für Mensch und Umwelt, die von einer bestimmten Technologie ausgehen können, abzuwenden, damit beschäftige ich mich momentan.

Born in France, I studied in Switzerland, and I’m now working on my PhD in Northern Germany at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmoltz Center for Polar and Marine research. I’m working on high resolution sea ice modeling for climate simulations. As we increased the resolution of the climate models, we now have the power to resolve more features in the sea ice cover, like leads and big floes. The question is now to know if what we are modeling is correct compared to the observations.

PhD candidate, University of Natural Ressources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU) - Institute for Silviculture
Having chosen one of the first Bachelor degree programmes in 2002 designed from scratch I studied International Forest Ecosystem Management followed by Masters in Forest Information Technology. These studies brought me into life sciences to research projects about agrowood in short-rotation coppices, payments for forest ecosystem services and forest management under climate change. Most engraving, however, was my time in the research cooperation about the mitigation of climate change between the Federal State of Salzburg and the Austrian Energy Agency. Since then, I investigate limits of political, natural, social and personal measures against climate change and spread the word for our most outstanding global transition challenge of the present. Within projects with the civil society I could broaden my natural-science-based knowledge with social innovation tools and techniques like art of hosting, sociocracy, consent decision making etc. With all this toghether I contribute to necessary changes and help people to become part of the solution.

PhD candidate, Universität Wien, Institut für Romanistik
After completing my teacher training, I taught French and Italian at upper secondary level. Since I have always been intrigued by how language works, I started my work on a PhD focussing on how speakers of French and Italian store, process and form verbs. My research combines corpus- & psycholinguistic methodology. Apart from work around the mental lexicon I also investigate how contact with English affects word formation in the Romance languages. A couple of suggestions of topics I could talk about: language acquisition, (heritage) language & multilingualism, language learning, language contact & language policy, history of the Romance languages & English Mögliche Themen über die ich sprechen könnte: Spracherwerb (Wie lernen Kinder sprechen? Ist Sprache angeboren? Herkunfts-, Mutter- und Schulsprachen - Zwei- und Mehrsprachigkeit), Sprachkontakt & Sprachpolitik (Was passiert, wenn in einem Land zwei Sprachen gesprochen werden?, Warum gibt es so viele Anglizismen im Deutschen / Italienischen?, Warum verwenden die Franzosen so selten Englische Wörter?, ...), Geschichte der romanischen Sprachen & des Englischen (Warum sprechen die Leute nicht mehr Latein? Italienisch, Französisch, Spanisch und Portugiesisch waren mal eine Sprache?,...), Sprachpolitik & Gender (Wie & warum wird im Deutschen/Englischen/den romanischen Sprachen gegendert?, ...)

Peer Herholz
PostDoc, McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital), Montreal, Canada
After realizing that I should change my teenage musician slacker lifestyle to something good and productive I started my adventure into the human mind by earning a bachelor (University of Leipzig) and master (Phillips-University Marburg) degree in neurolinguistics and neuropsychology, followed by a master in cognitive & integrative systems neuroscience, as well as a PhD in cognitive & computational neuroscience (both at Phillips-University Marburg). Throughout this time I was always puzzled by the same question: “how are waves transformed into sound and perceived by the human and non-human brain resulting in something incredibly powerful?”, defining also my current postdoctoral research interest and work investigating the neurobiology of music via open and reproducible auditory neuroscience. Starting from simple tones and the structure of the auditory system to complex melodies and rhythms and the representation of music genres features, I’m interested in the influence of cortical development, as well as plasticity and how music related brain activation can be explained via computational and conceptual models. Starting in my masters I furthermore developed a major crush on everything related to analyses and methods within the realm of neuroinformatics, as well as open & reproducible (neuro)science. Most of the time I’m trying to combine all of the above organizing and conducting workshops, hackathons and lectures/talks, supvervising students and trying to establishing/pushing standards across different levels (lab, institute, university, etc.) by being part of the most amazing community that there is.

PostDoc, Sorbonne Université
Mein Lebenslauf ist wohl ziemlich typisch fuer einen Klimaforscher (denn die Fachrichtung "Klimaforschung" gibt es nicht wirklich, bzw. ist sehr schwammig definiert): nach einem Bachelor in Geowissenschaften von der Uni Bremen schloss ich einen Master in Integrated Climate System Science an der Uni Hamburg ab, wo ich daraufhin in Kooperation mit dem Max-Planck-Institut fuer Meteorologie zum Dr. rer. nat. promovierte. Inzwischen forsche ich als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut Pierre Simon Laplace an der Sorbonne Université in Paris. Ich untersuche Vorhersagen des Klimas fuer die naechsten bis zu 10 Jahre, sogenannte dekadische Klimavorhersagen. Solche Vorhersagen werden mit komplexen Computermodellen erzeugt und koennen genutzt werden, Veraenderungen des Klimas fuer das naechste Jahrzehnt abzuschaetzen. Besonders interessiere ich mich fuer die Nordatlantikregion, insbesondere Europa, und die Rolle des Ozeans in Klimaveraenderungen.

Hendrik Bruns
Research scientist, Gemeinsame Forschungsstelle der Europäischen Kommission
See English version below: DE: Ich arbeite seit Januar 2020 bei der Gemeinsamen Forschungsstelle der Europäischen Kommission. Dort bin ich im Team "Behavioural Insights". Wir sind SozialpsychologInnen und VerhaltensökonomInnen, die sich mit verschiedenen Themen für die Europäische Kommission beschäftigen, um dessen Politik mit wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen zu informieren. Im Gegensatz zu traditionellen ÖkonomInnen, die häufig die Politik informieren, haben wir eine realistischere Auffassung davon, wie Menschen Entscheidungen treffen, um ihr Verhalten zu erklären. Wir führen Experimente durch um zu schauen, was für Fehler Menschen in ihren Entscheidungen machen und wie wir ihnen dabei helfen können, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Eines unserer abgeschlossenen Projekte nutzte die Kraft sozialer Netzwerke um Leute zum Fahrradfahren zu motivieren. Ich arbeite an Themen des European Green Deal, z.B. am Klimapakt. Vorher war ich ein Jahr lang PostDoc an der Universität Hamburg, wo ich auch 2015 mit der Promotion begonnen habe (die ich 2018 abgeschlossen habe). Zuvor habe ich einen MA in Nachhaltigem Wirtschaften in Kassel abgeschlossen, und einen BA in Geographie und Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Nebenbei habe ich mich in einem Flüchtlingshilfeverein (Projekt Seehilfe e.V.) engagiert. In meiner Freizeit interessiere ich mich für Musik und Computerspiele. Ich liebe Katzen. EN I am working for the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre since January 2020. There, I am in the “Behavioural Insights” Team. We are social psychologists and behavioural economists working on different topics for the European Commission to inform its policies. In contrast to traditional economists who primarily inform policymaking we rely use a realistic model of human decision making and behaviour. We use experiments in order to understand human biases and how to assist them to make better decisions. One of our completed projects investigated the influence of social networks on biking behaviours in order to motivate people to bike more. I work on matters related to the European Green Deal, e.g., the Climate Pact. Before my days at the Commission I was a Postdoc at the University of Hamburg, where I started my dissertation in 2015 (and completed it in 2018). I have a MA in Sustainability Economics and Management from the University of Kassel and a BA in Geography and Economics from the University of Osnabrück. I volunteer for a refugee aid NGO (Projekt Seehilfe e.V.). In my free time I am interested in music, PC games, and I love cats.

Bachelor student, Farm Design
I study how people interact with technology and work with engineers to develop technology that is user friendly. I always wanted to be a scientist. In college I fell in love with psychology – the science of how people think and act. In college, I learned of human factors (aka usability, user experience, human-computer interaction, ergonomics) and knew that was what I wanted to do. I have had a varied career where I helped to design and evaluate lots of disruptive technology including broadband, smart phones, streaming video, augmented reality, self-driving cars. I have worked in telecommunication, defense, automotive, and medical device sectors. I also have worked for small businesses, fortune 500 corporations, think tanks, and the government.

Ihr kennt das sicherlich: Wenn wir nervös sind fangen wir an zu schwitzen und unser Herz schlägt schnell, wenn wir entspannt sind fängt unser Magen an zu grummeln und unser Herz schlägt eher langsam. Ich interessiere mich dafür, wie diese Veränderungen zustandekommen, also, wie Stress und Entspannung unseren Körper beeinflussen. Dafür messe ich verschiedene biologische Maße, beispielsweise das Hormon Kortisol, oder die Herzrate und versuche zu verstehen, wieso manche Menschen bei zu viel Stress auf Dauer krank werden, und wie man am besten entspannen kann.

In meiner Promotion untersuche ich wie der geschichtete Ozean in der Nähe von Schelfbruchkanten reagiert, wenn Stürme über diese biologisch höchst produktiven Regionen hinwegfegen. Dafür nutze ich Daten von Bojen, Unterwasserrobotern und Forschungsfahrten. Weiterhin interessiere ich mich für Meereis und die schmelzenden Eisschelfe, Fjorde, Turbulenz & Mixing, die Geschichte ozeanographischer Forschung und den Klimawandel. In unserem Videocall können wir z.B. kleine Tank-Experimente durchführen um die Basics des Ozeanaufbaus (z.B. Mittelstufe in Physik oder Biologie), interne Wellen (z.B. geeignet als Anwendung für Oberstufenkurse in Physik), "Overflows" (z.B. für Ostseeanrainer mit Projekten zu Sauerstoff-Minimum-Zonen) oder andere dynamische Ozeanphänomene zu verstehen.

Clara Vázquez-Martel
Master student, KIT Karlsruher Institut für Technologie
My name is Clara Vázquez-Martel, and I am a master's student in materials science and materials engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). I was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. From the 5th grade on, I attended a German school abroad, which is why I grew up bilingual. That is why I decided to continue my academic education in Germany after finishing school. I am especially interested in the research field of additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing). I think this technology has the potential to change and democratize our current production chains fundamentally, and I want to be part of this innovation that will modernize the world. Another aspect I stand for is equality. Already at the beginning of my studies, I realized that the number of women in technical degrees is too low. Unfortunately, the image of an engineer or researcher is usually male. I believe that you want to be what you see. That is why I very much want to make my contribution to society so that "woman" and "technology" are no longer contradictory. For this, I will be an active role model, encouraging our daughters to pursue a technical or scientific career.

PostDoc, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Laboratory of Protein Design & Immunoengineering
How does it work? A human I mean. It's a tough question and there are no complete answers. Going into research to investigate human biology was the closest thing I could think of to satisfy some of this curiosity. During my Bachelor's studies in molecular medicine in Freiburg, Germany I discovered that there is the field 'synthetic biology' which aims to rebuild biology to achieve useful functions. Among other topics, some functions are used for medicine, and some to learn more about biology by a concept that has been coined as 'build to understand'. Both approaches are very interesting to me! To gain more insight into these topics I did my master's in Systems & Synthetic biology in Edinburgh, Scotland. During my PhD in Basel, Switzerland, I focused on building sensors (cell receptors) that enable cells to respond in a more programmable way to some stimuli that are medically relevant. Now, in Lausanne, Switzerland, I focus on applying some of these concepts in improving immune cells to fight cancer (CAR-T cells) and to learn some underlying principles (build to understand) of receptor function by using computational protein design.

PostDoc, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster
In 2007 I started studying biology at the WWU Münster. In my Bachelor thesis I worked on the evolution of the parasite and host interaction of small beetles. Then I did a work-and-travel year in Australia. Afterwards I finished my Masters in 2014 also at the WWU Münster. In my Master thesis I analyzed the behavior of the small Nematode C. elegans with a novel imaging and software tool (FIMTable+FIMTrack). FOr my PhD I switched topic to bioinformatics and investigated the genome differences of pathogenic bacteria (EHEC). After receiving my PhD in 2018 I joined a team of biologist and computer scientists which want to found a company in order to sell and improve the FIMTable and FIMTrack with which I worked before. In 2020 we found our company qubeto GmbH (www.qubeto.de) and we are looking forward to improve the research of others with our products for the behavioral analysis of tiny organisms like fruit flies or other insects. Apart from my scientific career I got two beautiful kids, with whom I spend most of my spare time. I also like to go running around the Aasee, play football and meet with my friends.

PostDoc, European Southern Observatory Chile
Deutsch: ---------- Aufgewachsen in Norddeutschland bin ich im Moment unter dem chilenischen Sternenhimmel zuhause und arbeite als Astronomin an der Europäischen Südsternwarte (ESO). Ursprünglich wollte ich Quantenphysikerin werden, habe das aber im Studium schnell wieder verworfen. Stattdessen war ich fasziniert von der Astronomie und davon, wie wir mit relativ einfachen Konzepten aus der Physik die Bewegungen von Sternen beschreiben können, die Millionen von Lichtjahren entfernt sind. Als Postdoktrandin an der ESO arbeite ich am Paranal-Observatorium -- eine der größten Sternwarten der Welt! Ich kann Einblicke geben, wie wir die Teleskope auf Paranal bedienen und wir in der Atacama-Wüste arbeiten und leben. Gerne erzähle ich auch mehr über Galaxien, besonders darüber welche Rolle dunkle Materie in ihrer Entwicklung spielt. English: -------- Growing up in Northern Germany, I initially decided to study physics after a summer school on quantum mechanics. At university, I, however, found that quantum physics was not my calling. Instead, I became fascinated by astronomy and how we could use relatively easy concepts from mechanics to describe the motions of stars millions of lightyears away. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. I split my time between being a support astronomer at Paranal Observatory, one of the largest observatories in the world, and researching how galaxies grow and evolve. I can give you some insights into how we operate the telescopes on Paranal and how we work and live in the Atacama desert. I am also happy to chat about galaxies: how we try to understand better how they grow and evolve by interacting with other galaxies, and the role that dark matter plays in these processes.

Barbara Bong
PhD candidate, RWTH Aachen Universität
In der Schule habe ich (natürlich!) den Chemie-Leistungskurs gewählt. Im LK, bestehend aus 17 Jungs, einem motivierten Lehrer und mir, ist meine Begeisterung für Chemie gewachsen, sodass ich nach dem Abitur das Studium begonnen habe. Aktuell forsche ich im Bereich Heterogene Katalyse und Technische Chemie. Hierbei beschäftige ich mich mit der Speicherung von Wasserstoff im Rahmen einer Forschungsinitative zur Energiewende. Übrigens, Glaskolben mit bunten Flüssigkeiten ins Licht halten - das machen Chemiker*innen in ihrer Arbeit eigentlich garnicht, für Fotos aber umso lieber. Daher freue ich mich, dass Projekte wie "Ring-a-Scientist" den Alltag von Wissenschaftler*innen zeigen - abseits von Menschen, die in weißen Kitteln und mit wilden Frisuren, auf bunte Flüssigkeiten starren.

Julia Pauquet
PhD candidate, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg
Hallo! Ich bin Julia und habe im Bachelor Psychologie studiert. Obwohl ich psychische Erkrankungen sowie die Behandlung dieser sehr interessant finde, habe ich schnell gemerkt, dass der Anteil im Studium zum Thema Forschung viel mehr mein Ding war. Durch verschiedene Hiwijobs konnte ich schon so während des Bachelors Einblicke in die universitäre und klinische Forschung bekommen. Nach dem Bachelor habe ich gezielt nach einem Master gesucht, der forschungsorientiert und interdisziplinär ist. So bin ich bei neurokognitiver Psychologie gelandet. Hier treffen sich Psychologie, Neurowissenschaften, Informatik und viele weitere Fächer. Dies hat mir sehr gut gefallen, so dass ich auch meine Promotion in diesem Bereich mache. Aktuell erforsche ich wie sich das Gehirn von Menschen mit Hörverlust verändert und ob wir diese Veränderungen mit Hilfsmitteln, z.B. einem Hörgerät rückgängig machen können. Hierzu benutze ich Verfahren wie fMRT, EEG sowie kognitive Tests. Zusätzlich möchte ich mich für eine transparente Wissenschaft einsetzen sowie anderen Menschen ein besseres Wissenschaftsverständnis vermitteln.

PhD candidate, Universität Kassel
Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften, verträgliche Landwirtschaft und fairer Handel inspirieren mich seit meinem Engagement bei einer studentischen Suppenküche auf dem Campus der McGill University in Montreal. Hier kochten wir nicht nur eifrig aus Lebensmittelresten, sondern beleuchteten auch die politische und gesellschaftliche Dimension der Herstellung unseres Essens. Nach meinem Studium der Entwicklungsökonomie mit Schwerpunkt landwirtschaftliche Lieferketten und Stationen in der Bio-Branche und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit entschied ich mich für eine Promotion am Fachgebiet "Management in der internationalen Ernährungsindustrie" an der Universität Kassel. Dabei spezialisiere ich mich nicht nur auf Nahrungsmittel, sondern kann durch meine Mitarbeit bei einer Forschungsorganisation in Neu-Delhi auch Einblicke in Textil- und Elektronik-Lieferketten vermitteln. Erprobt habe ich das bereits an einer Realschule in meiner Heimatstadt, wo ich 2019 mit Schüler*innen über die Probleme der globalen Textilproduktion und nachhaltige(re) Abschluss-Pullis diskutiert habe.

Lecturer, Universiteit Utrecht
Ich konnte mich am Ende der Schule kaum entscheiden, was ich studieren wollte, weil mich so vieles interessiert hat. Letztendlich habe ich mich für "Angewandte Informatik" in Göttingen entschieden, weil ich dabei Informatik mit verschiedenen anderen Fächern verbinden konnte. Nach dem Studium habe ich an der TU Dortmund zu einem Thema an der Schnittstelle zwischen Softwareentwicklung und Bioinformatik promoviert. Danach war ich eine Zeit lang an der Universität in Potsdam, wo ich begonnen habe, mich auch mit Software in den Geowissenschaften (Kartographie, Klimafolgenforschung) zu beschäftigen. Nach zwei Jahren am Irish Software Research Centre in Limerick bin ich Assistenzprofessorin für Softwaretechnologie an der Universität in Utrecht (Niederlande) geworden. Ich beschäftige mich weiter vor allem mit Forschungssoftware, also Computerprogrammen, die Wissenschaftler benutzen, um Daten zu analysieren. Heutzutage arbeitet kaum noch ein Wissenschaftler ohne Software, es gibt hier also richtig viel zu tun! In meinen Lehrveranstaltungen geht es meistens um Programmierung und Softwareentwicklung. Beispielsweise gebe ich einen Python-Kurs für Nicht-Informatik-Studierende, die lernen wollen, ihre eigene Forschungssoftware zu entwickeln. In meiner Forschung arbeite ich an neuen Techniken, um Wissenschaftlern das Erstellen von Software für ihre Datenanalyseprobleme zu erleichtern.

I am an Agricultural, Food, and Rural Development Economist from Eritrea with great interest in the dynamic linkages of human welfare with ecosystem services in response to real global challenges, including deforestation, poverty, food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition, and climate change. My research experience encompasses projects in the Global South, where I researched the link between farm-level agricultural biodiversity and the quality of diets in smallholder households. I typically use field survey and applied econometrics in my work. My research has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, PLoS ONE, Food Policy, Agricultural Water Management, Food Security, etc. In your lesson, I am happy to talk about: Why are people in Africa that poor? Why are people in Africa that food/nutrition insecure? Why are people in the tropics destroying the pristine rainforests? About my career and life journey from being a goather at a small village in remote rural areas of Eritrea (not yet on Google map) to being a Postdoc at a prestigious university in Germany. About refugee life in Germany, particularly as an Eritrean. About the current political situation in Eritrea. Why so many young Eritreans keep deserting the country? Academic career challenges, particularly as an African scientist in Europe.

Alexandra Zuhr
PhD candidate, Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research
Hi, my name is Alexandra, I am in my third year of my PhD working on a better understanding of the climate signal contained in proxy data from paleo archives such as ice cores and marine sediments. I studied Geography at the University in Erlangen and Climate Sciences at the University in Augsburg. During my studies, I participated in special courses in Norway and Svalbard. Especially the nature in Svalbard fascinated me, and I developed a desire to study the polar regions more closely. During my PhD, I am studying the process of signal formation in snow and ice by analysing stable water isotopes in snow from the Greenland ice sheet. Analogously, I am analysing radiocarbon and oxygen isotopes in foraminifera from marine sediments to investigate the signal imprint and proxy representativity. I am very grateful that I have already been able to participate in two expeditions to the Greenland ice sheet to take my own samples. The times during my field research were very special and gave me the opportunity to experience a very vulnerable and rapidly changing landscape in the Arctic. I am an active member of APECS Germany (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) and the APECS council and am very interested in communicating my knowledge and science to other people around the world.

PostDoc, University of Oxford
Nach Schule und Zivildienst in Essen habe ich verschiedene Studiengänge in Betracht gezogen. Darunter Ingenieurwissenschaften, Psychologie und auch Musik (Schlagzeug). Letztendlich haben es mir aber die faszinierenden Phänomene und spannende Konzepte der Physik am meisten angetan - zusammen mit ihrer weitreichenden Anwendung in der "realen Welt": Computer, das Internet, Smartphonedisplays, Klimamodelle, GPS gehen alle maßgeblich auf Beiträge von PhysikerInnen zurück. Zum Studium bin ich nach Aachen gegangen und hatte dort eine lehrreiche, herausfordernde, und insgesamt tolle Zeit. Solarzellen haben es mir dabei schon in meiner Bachelorarbeit angetan: sie verbinden spannende Physik mit einem herausragenden gesellschaftlichen Nutzen der regenerativen Energieerzeugung - beides ist für mich persönlich wichtig. Meine Masterarbeit habe ich über Graphen geschrieben bevor ich mich in meiner Doktorarbeit dann wieder Solarzellen am Forschungszentrum Jülich widmete. Nach der Promotion habe ich eine Postdoc Stelle an der Universität Oxford angenommen und forsche hier an organischen Solarzellen. Diese neue Solarzellentechnologie hält viele Versprechen von niedrigen Kosten bis zu neuartigen Anwendung als farbige semitransparente Hausfaßade. Mehr darüber hoffentlich in unserem baldigem Videoanruf :)

I went to university because I wanted to join the police force as a graduate. Instead I ended up falling in love with ecology and marine biology, enjoying spending time doing surveys on the rocky shores of Scarborough in the UK. I therefore undertook a masters programme where I was able to conduct my own research projects. I enjoyed working independently and doing what I wanted in order to answer ecological questions. I then did a PhD in seabird ecology which involved me spending time on remote, uninhabited seabird islands (in the UK, Australia and New Zealand) where I put small tags on the birds to see where they went and what they got up to whilst at sea. I have now recently started a postdoc position where I am investigating the ecological importance of sharks.

I am a PhD student at the Ruhr-University Bochum at the department of theoretical chemistry. In my work I try to elucidate the atomistic and molecular processes of small biological systems using molecular dynamics simulations with which one can simulate and observe molecules and their interactions on a computer. Currently I am investigating the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein which the virus uses to infiltrate the cells of its host and how antibodies can prevent this. What I like about my work is that you can really get an understanding on the molecular level of these fascinating biological systems like for example the coronavirus which is also a very important topic nowadays. Furthermore, I like using logic to utilize the power of computers to advance scientific research.

After applying to university to study genetics, I became increasingly interested in biochemistry and biophysics - tackling biological problems from a physical and sometimes mathematical perspective - and eventually graduated in Chemistry. In my PhD, I studied some of the physical mechanisms that we think underlie diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, in which proteins malfunction and aggregate together within the brain. Today though my research focuses on how proteins are made in the first place, and start to acquire their correct 3D structure during their manufacture by ribosomes within the cell. We use lots of techniques for this, but an important one is NMR spectroscopy - using some of the strongest magnets in the world to probe what these proteins are doing during their synthesis. Outside of science, I’m a keen musician, swimmer, and recently cycled from Paris to Barcelona!

Thorsten Klaus Otto Gravert
PhD candidate, Århus University
My research is on endocrine disruptors in the environment. These compounds can mess up the hormonal system in humans and animals, which is necessary for reproduction. I'm also an environmental analytical chemist, meaning you can point at a sample from nature and I can tell you what molecules and chemicals are in it. A bit like a tricorder in Star Trek, just much bigger and slower. In the past, I have studied oil spills and how to determine where the oil comes from. While many have big catastrophes in mind (e.g. Deepwater Horizon), much oil is released every day by small and big boats causing problems to our marine animals and plants.

Professional, Universität Bielefeld
After spending six months in Australia I decided to study language acquistition in 2005. In 2009 I earned my bachelor’s degree in German as a Foreign/Second Language and English at the University of Bielefeld, my master’s degree in 2012. After working as a language teacher for German as a Forein Language in New Zealand and for German as a Second Language in Bielefeld, I returned to university in 2013 to join a project to develop a training programme to increase language sensitivity in vocational education. From 2015-2019 I was a lecturer in pre-service teacher education, preparing future teachers on how to facilitate the development of school literacy. Having earned my PhD in 2020, I am currently part of the collaborative project ComeIn, helping to build up an online platform for digital education tools to support pupils’ literacy development in German schools.

Marco Heiles
PostDoc, RWTH Aachen University
Ich bin Altgermanist und Experte für deutschsprachige Handschriften des 13. bis 16. Jahrhunderts. In meiner Forschung beschäftige ich mich hauptsächlich mit der Frage, wie die Handschriften entstanden sind. Mich interessiert dabei zum einen wie und warum die Texte (und Bilder) einzelner Handschriften ausgewählt und zusammengestellt wurden und wie durch die Textzusammenstellung und -präsentation das Verständnis der einzelnen Texte gelenkt wird. Zum anderen interssiert mich die praktische Herstellung der Handschrift, also welche Materialen verwendet wurden und wie verschiedene Personen bei der Handschriftenproduktion zusammenarbeiten. Dabei arbeite ich nicht nur an der Analyse und Interüretation einzelner handschriften, sondern versuche auch neue Forschungsmethoden (z. Bsp. Tintenanlysen mittels Röntgenfluoreszenzspektroskopie) zu adaptieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Wichtig sind dabei auch nachhaltige Wege der Forschungsdatenspeicherung (Linked Open Data). Im besonderen Fokus meiner Forschung stehen dabei kurze und in der Forschung vernachlässigte Texte wie Anleitungen zur Magie und Prognstik, Rezepte (insesondere Koch-, Farb-, Scherzrezepte) oder Sprüche und Witze. Nach über 10 Jahren Lehrerfahrung in der mediävitsischen Germanistik bin ich aber auch Generalist und kann zu allen Bereichen der mittelalterlichen deutschen Literatur vom 8. bis zum 16. Jahrhundert Auskunft geben. Neben Klassikern wie dem Nibelungenlied, Tristan und Isolde oder Neidhart und Walther von der Vogelweide kann ich dabei auch kurzweiliges Spezialwissen zur Zauberrei und Zukunftsprognostik, zu mittelalterlichen Unterwassertechnik(phantasien) oder zur Kochkunst vermitteln. Besonders gerne spreche ich über Ausgrenzungstexte. Also darüber wie Personengruppen durch Texte gesellschaftlich ausgegrenzt werden. Rassismus, Antisemitismus, Frauenfeindlichkeit und Klassismus haben eine lange Tradition, die sich auch in der mittelalterlichen Literatur nachverfolgen lässt.

Dorothea Tegethoff
Professor, Evangelische Hochschule Berlin
Ich bin seit 1986 Hebamme und denke nach wie vor, dass dies einer der schönsten Berufe der Welt ist. Im Laufe der Zeit habe ich im Krankenhaus und freiberuflich gearbeitet und viele Schwangeren, Gebärende, Wöchnerinnen, stillende Mütter und ihre Neugeborenen betreut. Seit 1999 arbeite ich in der Ausbildung von Hebammen und seit 2007 in der Wissenschaft. Damals gab es noch keine Möglichkeit, in Deutschland Hebammenwissenschaft zu studieren. Ich habe Erziehungs- und Gesundheitswissenschaft studiert und in der päd. Anthropologie promoviert. Seit 2013 arbeite ich im Studiengang Hebammenkunde/Hebammenwissenschaft der Evangelischen Hochschule Berlin, seit 2014 bin ich Professorin an der Ev. Hochschule. Die Ev. Hochschule war einer der ersten Standorte für die Hebammenwissenschaft in Deutschland. Seit 2020 werden alle Hebammen in einem Studium ausgebildet und seitdem entstehen viele andere Standorte. Zu meinen Lehrbereichen gehört die Versorgung des Neugeborenen und das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten. Ich arbeite gerne mit den Studierenden und freue mich, wenn ich bei der Praxisbegleitung auch direkt mit den Familien zusammen komme. In der Forschung beschäftige ich mit der Kommunikation zwischen Hebammen und den Frauen und Familien, die sie betreuen. Ich habe auch drei eigene Kinder, die schon erwachsen sind. Auch daher weiß ich, wie wichtig gute Hebammen sind.

Sebastian Bathiany
PostDoc, Climate Service Center Germany
I am a climate scientist by training and most interested in knowledge transfer, teaching and using my skills to save the climate. I studied meteorology and wrote my dissertation on the end of the "Green Sahara" at the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. I have a 10-year long research record on the detection and analysis of climate tipping points, mostly working with climate models of different complexity. From 2014-2018 I worked at the University of Wageningen where I investigated the loss of Arctic sea ice and the patterns of changing climate variability. In a path-finding project with the Netherlands eScience Centre, I developed data-mining tools to detect and interpret abrupt climate shifts in complex climate datasets. I now work at the Climate Service Center Germany in a knowledge transfer project to help agriculture adapt to climate change. My largest enthusiasm is dedicated to all sorts of creative "edutainment" activities to teach and communicate about climate change. For example, I wrote a children's book about climate change, write articles for web platforms like my own blog klimatopist.de, participate in science slams and give public talks and courses.

Ariane de Waal
Lecturer, University of Leipzig
Hello! I am a lecturer in British Cultural Studies at the University of Leipzig. My research focuses on British culture – that is, on the way in which British society has understood and reflected on itself through different media and cultural products. My particular areas of expertise are the 19th century (the so-called Victorian age) and contemporary British literature and culture. My work on the Victorian era focuses on the history of knowledge with a specific focus on the emerging medical sciences (especially dermatology!). I examine conceptions of the body, health, and disease in newspapers, guidebooks, advertisements, lectures, and novels from the 19th century. In the area of British contemporary culture, I have a special interest in representations of war, terrorism, neoliberalism, and racism. I also teach and publish in the fields of Gender and Queer Studies. My first book 'Theatre on Terror: Subject Positions in British Drama' was published by De Gruyter in 2017, and I am currently working on a second book project on dermatology and the Victorian novel.

This study focuses on festival rituals in a Chinese elementary school. First, the study explores the relationship between Chinese ancient rituals “Li” (礼) and modern rituals and clarifies the historical development of the appearance, forming, and development of school rituals in contemporary China. Secondly, the study uses ethnographic observation in the sense of focused ethnography to show the process of how the traditional folk culture is passed on from the older gen­era­tion to the younger one through rituals in Chinese schools and to analyze the educational functions of rituals in this context. Finally, the study uses narrative interviews with ritual experts, school administrators, teachers, and students about festival rituals and school rituals to reconstruct the rituals’ practice patterns as well as different views upon these patterns. The purpose of this study is to construct a practice model of Chinese festival rituals as well as Chinese school rituals, which can also contribute to the study of festival culture transmission in Chinese school education.

PostDoc, Univerrsität Regensburg, Fakultät Humanwissenschaften, Lehrstuhl für Lernbehindertenpädagogik einschließlich inklusiver Pädagogik
An der TU Dortmund habe ich Lehramt für Sonderpädagogik mit den Förderschwerpunkten Lernen und Sprache und den Unterrichtsfächern Mathematik sowie Technik studiert. Anschließend habe im Fach Rehabilitationswissenschaften mit dem Schwerpunkt „Lernverlaufsdiagnostik im Bereich Lesen in der inklusiven Grundschule“ promoviert. Ich arbeite an der Universität Regensburg (Bayern) als Akademische Rätin im Fachbereich Lernbehindertenpädagogik. Meine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind die Entwicklung und Evaluation der Lernverlaufsdiagnostik sowie die Aus- und Fortbildung von diagnostischen Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften. Eine Lernverlaufsdiagnostik besteht aus sehr kurzen Tests (Durchführungsdauer von wenigen Minuten), die hochfrequent (bis zu wöchentlich) während des Unterrichts eingesetzt werden. Das Ziel der Lernverlaufsdiagnostik ist die prozessbegleitende Messung von schulischen Kompetenzen (z.B. Leseflüssigkeit, Leseverständnis, Rechtschreibphänomene), um eine Evaluation der Lernentwicklung zu ermöglichen. Die Ergebnisse werden für eine leichte Interpretation in einen Lernverlaufsgraphen eingetragen, mit denen Lehrkräfte die Effektivität der Förderung/ des Unterrichts beurteilen und reflektieren können. Gemeinsam mit Prof. Markus Gebhardt (Regensburg) und Prof. Andreas Mühling (Kiel) betreiben wir die kostenfreie Onlineplattform zur Lernverlaufsdiagnostik www.levumi.de. Unter Levumi.de können sich Lehrkräfte Tests aus den Lernbereichen Deutsch, Mathematik und Verhalten nutzen und sich im Bereich Lesen von passenden Fördermaterialien inspirieren lassen. Alle entwickelten Materialien werden in Schulstudien eingesetzt und geprüft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdJ7nnYOGeY Hier gibt es eine Einführung zu Levumi.de von Prof. Gebhardt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz5It96XvKk Dieses Video erklärt das Konzept hinter Levumi.de

Jan Leitner
PostDoc, Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany
I studied Physics at the University of Münster in Germany, originally with the intent of becoming an astronomer (astronomy and space in general have fascinated me since elementary school). However, Astronomy at the University was shut down shortly after I started, and I ended up for my diploma thesis at the Institute for Planetology (in the Geoscience Departement), which is involved in Solar System research. I stayed there for my PhD, analyzing cometary dust returned to Earth by NASA's Stardust mission. Since 2008, I am working as a PostDoc/research associate at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry (despite being a physicist and not a chemist) on various projects involving meteorites and cosmic dust (some dust grains being older than then Sun itself, so-called "stardust").

Greta Markert
PhD candidate, Cambridge University / ETH Zurich
I studied Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge in Protein Chemistry and Protein Design. I've always been really fascinated by the interactions of substrates and the active site of proteins. I still remember when my biology teacher explained the concept and I was really excited about it. This is the kind of passion that young scientists and even non-scientists should receive from their teachers. I enjoy teaching concepts of biology and chemistry, as well as pharmaceutical and medical sciences. Feel free to contact me here :)

Deepak Deepak
PhD candidate, LMU Munich
I studied plant biology during my B.Sc. and biotechnology during my M.Sc. For my doctoral research, I wanted to work on protein crystallography in the interdisciplinary field of pharmaceutical biology. So I joined the group of Prof. Huc at LMU Munich, Germany, to study protein crystallography of DNA binding proteins with foldamer complexes. I believe a more interdisciplinary approach in science goes way far and delivers directly to society, in my case, in terms of therapeutic agents that we are currently developing in our lab.

Sprache und Sprechen haben mich seit jeher interessiert. Ganz besonders faszinierend finde ich, wie schnell und spielerisch Kinder Sprache(n) erwerben. Als Phonetikerin beschäftige ich mich in meiner Forschung vor allem mit den prosodischen Merkmalen von gesprochener Sprache, also Rhythmus, Sprachmelodie etc. Dabei untersuche ich auch - v.a. mit experimentellen Methoden aus der Psycholinguistik, wie wir Menschen, von Kleinkindern bis ins hohe Alter, diese Merkmale verarbeiten. Ich berichte gerne von meiner Arbeit im Babysprachlabor und stelle gerne experimentelle Paradigmen aus der Psycholinguistik vor.

PostDoc, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg
Dass ich heute Postdoc und Habilitand im Bereich des öffentlichen Rechts (Verfassungsrecht- und Verwaltungsrecht) an der Universität Heidelberg bin, war kein lang gehegter Plan. Meine Wahl auf ein Jurastudium fiel in erster Linie aufgrund des Interesses an gesellschaftlichen und politischen Zusammenhängen. Das Studium hat bei mir dann eine Begeisterung für die Kunst des juristischen Argumentierens, die Vielfältigkeit der Rechtsgebiete und die Gestaltungskraft rechtlicher Regelungen geweckt. Gerade im Bereich der Grundrechte, des Staatsorganisationsrechts und des Polizeirechts bewege ich mich heute gerne. Ich freue mich, wenn ich Schülerinnen und Schülern darein einen Einblick geben kann.

Hello, my Name is Kirsten, I am 33 years old and I am a PhD Student in my last year in organic Chemistry at the University of Heidelberg. Before my studies I did an apprenticeship as a chemical labassistent at Roche Diagnostics in Germany. I have a lot of fun to do experiments with older kids and children. I usually use only things from the supermarket, which are not harmful and easy to get. Also not expensive. After the experiments, I explain the reason to them with easy reaction formula. I can either give a look into the University and what it means to study here. Talking about beeing a student, the allday life as a chemsitry student, and the opportunities during their studies and afterwards. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Claudia Keller
Lecturer, Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe / Pädagogische Hochschule Karlsruhe
Kommunikation, ob analog oder digital, ist für mich die Schlüsselkompetenz für zwischenmenschliche Interaktionen. Körpersprache und Stimme entscheiden neben dem Inhalt häufig über Erfolg oder Misserfolg bei Gesprächen, Präsentationen oder Verhandlungen. Wie entsteht eine Kongruenz zwischen diesen Parametern? Was garantiert einen souveränen, kompetenten, nachhaltigen Auftritt? Können Ausstrahlung und Charisma erlernt werden und was hat Kommunikation mit Sozialkompetenzen und einwandfreien Umgangsformen zu tun? Das Zitat von Sokrates "Sprich, damit ich dich sehe" dient als Leitmotiv meiner Seminare und Workshops.

PostDoc, Universitätsmedizin Göttingen
Mein Berufswunsch stand schon vor Eintritt in die Oberstufe fest: Wissenschaftler! Auch wenn ich damals noch gar keine konkreten Vorstellungen davon hatte, was das genau bedeutet. Ich habe an der Universität Jena Biologie studiert und anschließend in Göttingen promoviert. Bei meiner Promotion ging es um die Stammzellen in der Fruchtfliege Drosophila. Das war sehr spannend und hat erste Einblicke in die akademische Forschung ermöglicht, Für meinen PostDoc habe ich mir dann aber ein Thema gesucht, dass ein wenig praxisnaher ist: Die Parkinson-Krankheit. Wir versuchen zu verstehen, wieso manche Menschen die Parkinson-Krankheit bekommen.

Christian Scharun
PostDoc, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie
Ich bin geboren und aufgewachsen in einem Dorf in der Nähe von Karlsruhe. Nach dem Abitur studierte ich Mathematik und Geographie für das Lehramt und habe das erste Staatsexamen in beiden Fächern absolviert. Danach forschte ich drei Jahre lang am Institut für Meteorologie und Klimaforschung des KIT in Karlsruhe und schloss meine Promotion an der Fakultät für Physik Ende des Jahres 2021 ab. Dabei habe ich mich mit den Emissionen von Treibhausgasen und ihrem Beitrag zur globalen Erwärmung beschäftigt und eine neue Methode entwickelt mit der diese Emissionen genauer und effizienter bestimmt werden können. Im November 2021 habe ich mit meiner Arbeit beim internationalen Innovationswettbewerb Falling Walls den dritten Platz belegt. Außerdem trete ich regelmäßig bei Science Slams auf, halte Vorträge über den Klimawandel und versuche meine Wissenschaft in vielen verschiedenen Formaten zu kommunizieren. --- I was born and raised in a village near Karlsruhe. After graduating from high school, I studied mathematics and geography. Afterwards, I did research at the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research at KIT in Karlsruhe for three years and completed my PhD at the Faculty of Physics at the end of 2021. My research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions and their contribution to global warming, and I developed a new method to determine these emissions more accurately and efficiently. In November 2021, I placed third in the Falling Walls international innovation competition with my work. I also regularly perform at science slams, give talks on climate change, and try to communicate my science in many different formats.

Friedrich Frischknecht
Professor, Heidelberg University
I was initially interested in Astronomy but then became fascinated by molecular biology and studied Biochemistry in Berlin. Our university allowed us to visit and work in labs outside university and so I went to also work in Tübingen and Heidelberg (virology) as well as at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin (electron microscopy). I then went to Cambridge for my masters work in neuroscience and a PhD at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg in cell biology but using a virus to understand how cells move. This led to my interest in host pathogen interactions and after some interviews I moved to the Pasteur Institute to Paris to work on malaria causing parasites. Since 2005 I lead my own group at the University of Heidelberg, where I became professor in 2014. My team works towards a better understanding of the biology of malaria parasites during transmission to and from mosquitoes. We also aim at developing new tools for intervention studies.

I'm a doctoral researcher at Heidelberg University working at the intersection of Media History, Religious Studies, and Death Studies. My primary research interest involves the transformation of images of the dead in contemporary society. I've also done work on fantasy literature, fantasy games and utopias. So how did I get here? Slow and gradual developments, mostly. I started studying sociology and focused on the sociology of religion during my Bachelors. Then I ended up working on popular literature and games during my Masters, where I also first encountered the subject of Death Studies. Now I'm writing a dissertation in that particular space.

PostDoc, Jacobs University Bremen
Hi there, After school I did a practical training as a Biological Technical Assistant. Then I moved on to study biology where I got in touch with plant biology as a student assistant. Since then I have mostly worked with plants. During my doctoral research project I have investigated the molecular mechanism that allows plants to memorise certain past events to optimise their response to a future event. Currently I am working on a project that investigates the function and the molecular mode of action of a particularly interesting protein from cocoa (unfortunately I cannot talk about this project in detail, due to its relevance for an unpublished patent).

Ich interessiere mich für verschiedene Aspekte und Probleme der praktischen Philosophie. Einige Dimensionen und Kategorien wie Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit in verschiedenen „Anwendungsbereichen“ zu durchleuchten oder neu zu denken, gehört zur Kernaufgabe philosophischer Forschung. Als Experte für die Kritische Theorie der Gesellschaft habe ich ein Buch geschrieben über den Begriff der Möglichkeit, wie er für sozialphilosophische Analysen wegweisend werden könnte, die sich mit der Veränderbarkeit und der Zukunft moderner Gesellschaften auseinandersetzen. In Heidelberg bin ich in der Max Planck School „Matter to life“ tätig, um dort bioethische und erkenntnistheoretische Aspekte zu eruieren, die bezogen sind auf die Entwicklung, die Produktion und die Patentierung von (künstlichen) lebendigen Entitäten. Der interdisziplinäre Austausch, das Finden einer gemeinsamen Sprache inmitten verschiedener Fachkulturen und die gemeinsame Lösung identifizierter Probleme (z.B. Dual-Use, Verdinglichung lebendiger Entitäten, Umgang mit verschiedenen Lebensformen) zeichnet diese Tätigkeit aus, die schlecht und schief geriete, wenn Neugier und Offenheit gegenüber den Naturwissenschaften versiegt.

I am a Cell Biologist by training, and a teacher and mentor by passion. I pursued a Masters and gained expertise in the field of cytoskeleton. Currently I am trying to set-up a methodology to reconstitute and engineer the motility of a protein system that is notoriously challenging to work with. This involves me test and sandbox various micro-manipulation tools and have them moonlight to my use. If successful, it will forever transform how we study the system of interest for the field. Other than my work I mentor and help undergraduate level students to develop the skill-set and interest in STEM subjects, while guiding them additionally to appear for international competitive examinations for higher studies.

Hi, I'm a philosopher with an expertise in applied ethics, political philosophy and philosophy of economics. My PhD-thesis was all about "sweatshops", i.e. factories with substandard working conditions in emerging economies in which most of our clothes and eletronics are being made. The question that drives and binds my research is how we evaluate and justify economic decisions. I also take great interest in the philosophical analysis of popular culture and popular phenomena and have published on TV-series like "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Handmaid's Tale". I believe that such work can advance our understanding and appreciation of cultural texts and the way these texts engage in public debates

Ishwari Marathe
Professional, Albert Ellis Institute, New York
I am a clinical psychologist and therapist trained in Rational Emotive Cognitive Behavior Therapy (RECBT). I have a vast experience in working with clients suffering from Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Schziophrenia and other mental health concerns. I have 3+ years of experience in conducting workshops, webinars and talks on various topics that fall under the umbrella of mental health ( Managing Mood Swings, Beating Procrastination, Dealing with Criticism to name a few). I got into the field of mental health primarily because of my inclination towards human interaction, empathetic personality and an interest in the way human beings make sense of the experiences they have in life. One goal that I have always kept is also of de-stigmatization and awareness building in the general population about mental health and therapy. To that end I started my own Instagram handle (thetalking_therapist) and Youutbe Channel (The Talking Therapist) where I regularly post posts and videos regarding mental health and the process of therapy. Ultimately, my goal is to normalize taking therapy and to make my clients their own therapists at the end of the day.

Berthold Rimmler
PhD candidate, Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics
In school, I was always interested in physics and chemistry and after my Abitur (German A-levels), I couldn't decide on which of the two to study, so I ended up choosing materials science, which is an interdisciplinary course. I then did my Masters also in materials science in France and Germany. I liked doing research and wanted to learn more about magnetic materials and its applications, as well as get into the research landscape. So, I joined the group of Stuart Parkin at the MPI in Halle, which is one of the leading groups in the world on spintronics, which tries to go beyond the charge-based computing and data storage paradigm, by employing magnetic and otherwise exotic materials. I don't know where my path will lead me next, but for now, I'm enjoying research and answering tough questions, doing experiments and analyses as well as writing up my results and presenting them in talks and at scientific conferences. Also, I would like to talk more about my work to the general public and get a bit out of the ivory tower, hence I signed up for this website!

Ich wollte eigentlich Sonderpädagogik studieren, habe mich dann aber irrtümlicherweise von der Studienberatung überreden lassen, dass Psychologie fast das Gleiche sei. Mit der Zeit habe ich mich dann doch an mein Fach gewöhnt und es lieb gewonnen. Ich betreibe politische Psychologie und empirische Sozialwissenschaft mit dem Ziel, Prozesse gesellschaftlicher Willensbildung und die Rolle des Individuums darin besser zu verstehen.

PostDoc, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg
Since the beginning of my academic career, I have been focused on mechanism of protein folding. As I have tried to understand the phenomenon from various perspectives, it had led me to learn different aspects such as polymer physics, diffusion, stochastic theories and number of mathematical tools. I find it stimulating, especially because its challenging and with every new approach I end up learning something completely new.

Research scientist, Rijk Zwaan
Hello! At the moment, I am working in a breeding company in the Netherlands, Rijk Zwaan. We breed for many vegetables and soft fruits. During these last 5 years, I have become an expert in lettuce! I also enjoy making amazing salads :) I studied Agronomy in Italy and then discovered the world of research when I went to UC Davis in California for my master thesis. At that time I thought that I would have enjoyed doing a PhD. And indeed I did, so much that I completed 2 PhDs, one in Italy and one in the Netherlands. During my PhDs, I studied mainly tomato plants and genes that make them susceptible to a fungal disease called powdery mildew. I miss teaching and I hope you like to ring me up from time to time because I can tell you a lot about lettuces, tomatoes and plants in general.

PostDoc, Ulm University / Institute of Molecular and Cellular Anatomy
I have always been interested in the workings of the brain, how it forms behaviour, and how ones life and environment affects this process. I studied Medical Biotechnology and worked as an assistant on the crosstalk of the immune system and the brain during epilepsy. My master's thesis was conducted in Japan about dietary modulation of neurodegeneration (in flies). I continued to work as an assistant on minor histological neuroscience projects until I started my PhD thesis about the interplay of obesity-surgery, circadian rhythms, and behaviour. Today, I again work on epilepsy and how neurogenesis-associated transcription factors are able to alter disease progression.

Need someone who can talk passionately about proteins for hours on end? - probably not but that would be me. I am studying collective motions of g protein-coupled receptors to implement this knowledge in computer-aided drug design. --- Brauchen Sie jemanden, der stundenlang leidenschaftlich über Proteine reden kann? - Wahrscheinlich nicht, aber falls doch... Ich untersuche die kollektiven Bewegungen von G-Protein-gekoppelten Rezeptoren, um dieses Wissen für die computergestützte Entwicklung von Medikamenten zu nutzen.

PhD candidate, University of Bonn
Loss and damage related to climate change and climate justice are the main foci of my research. I am particularly interested in how we can address local-level loss and damage whilst simultaneously ensuring social justice. In answering this question, I work with intersectional theory and focus on Suriname. In the past, my research focused on so-called ‘non-economic’ loss and damage (e.g. mental health, biodiversity), local values, and the framing of the often intangible and subjective impacts of climate change with Bangladesh as a case study.

PhD candidate, Universität Augsburg - Institut für Materials Resource Management
I am a PhD candidate in the field of materials science. My topic it 3D-printing of nanocomposites of 2D materials (like graphene) in a ceramic matrix. Already as a child I knew I wanted to become a researcher in STEM. I could never decide between physics, chemistry or engineering but I found the perfect combination of those in materials science. During my studies I was working in different fields, like biomaterials, high entropy alloys and hydrogen storage materials. In the end I found my passion to be for 3D printing so I chose a PhD topic in this area. Now I am not only working with the printers but also develop new materials that have tailored functions according to their composition and structure!

Nicholas Müller
Professor, Technische Hochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt
Nach dem Abschluss im Fach Medienkommunikation mit einem starken Fokus auf die Verbindung zwischen Technologie und Gesellschaft, folgte die Promotion im Bereich E-Learning und neue Medien. Diese Zeit war geprägt von der Erforschung digitaler Lehrmethoden und deren Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Anschließend führte der Weg in die Beratungsbranche, wo praktische Erfahrungen mit der Anwendung von digitalen Technologien in verschiedenen Organisationen gesammelt wurden. Der nächste Schritt war die Rückkehr in die akademische Welt, um eine Habilitation in Empirischer Kommunikationswissenschaft und Medienpsychologie zu absolvieren. Diese Forschungsphase vertiefte das Verständnis für die Interaktion zwischen Menschen und Medien und führte zu wertvollen Beiträgen in diesem Feld. Die Berufung auf eine Forschungsprofessur für Sozioinformatik und die gesellschaftlichen Aspekte der Digitalisierung bot die Gelegenheit, sich mit den Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien auf die Gesellschaft auseinanderzusetzen. In dieser Rolle liegt der Fokus auf der Leitung von Projekten, die untersuchen, wie Technologie positiv zur gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung beitragen kann. Als Leiter des IDIS – Institut für Design und Informationssysteme – wird ein Team geführt, das sich der Entwicklung von Lösungen für digitale Herausforderungen widmet. Ziel ist es, durch interdisziplinäre Forschung einen Beitrag für die Gesellschaft zu leisten und einen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung der digitalen Zukunft zu haben.
