CURRENT MISSION

find out how answering survey questions influences people's opinions

ABOUT ME

Well, it's always hard to describe yourself to strangers... I've got lots of curly hair, I like spending time with friends, laughing, talking about irrelevant and serious stuff. I love my bicycle, books, cats, nature in general and specifically lakes, swimming, sitting on a sunny bench and watching the people that pass by, art of the 19th and 20th century,..
Currently, I'm a PhD student in sociology and as I work at a chair for empirical survey research methods, I seem to become a bit of a data nerd lately (that's what I read in the eyes of my friends when I talk about my work). Besides that, I volunteer in a fair trade shop once a week and enjoy gardening on our roof terrace.
