One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Told so unfunny joke that nobody else was laughing but me (more than once)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some tips on where to find good coffee and suggest nice places to visit in Freiburg, Málaga, Latvia or Montenegro.

Most of my time is currently spent in a lab studying how epigenetics influence early brain development. I joined because they use brain organoids as model systems and since not many people have heard about them, I am happy to talk (or show some photos) with anyone curious about these things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Spontaneous (or planned) trips outdoors. Exploration of the city centre. Cup of good tea or coffee. Conversations on topics we are interested in
