My Mission
I want to use my scientific background and my skills in writing and organizing to make science and its societal impact understandable because a sustainable, fair, and democratic society needs to both embrace science and critique its ramifications.
Science writing should tell captivating stories about science, its complexity, history, and impact, as well as shine a light on the humans behind it.

What I Do
I cover both fundamental and applied sciences, the fascinating personal stories behind the research, and how science affects and is affected by society and the environment.
I write about physics, quantum information and quantum computing, complex systems and network science, biology and ecology, chemistry, and science and technology studies in the form of press releases, magazine stories, informational and website texts, and journalistic articles.

About Me
I started out with the dream of becoming a researcher in quantum physics. Yet, during my studies, I realized that many different branches of the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities deal with important and fascinating topics and that I would like to get to know all of them.
After a Master’s degree in physics with a focus on quantum information and a short stint in the field of science and technology studies, I first turned to event management in a scientific context and then to science writing. In this profession, I can now work on topics in all fields of research and share my passion and fascination for them.
