12 years a researcher ⬅️⚡️➡️ 12 years a science communicator.
Hard to pick only a few moments !

Today marks exactly 12 years since I received THE email that changed everything. On Valentine's Day 2013, I got a message about organizing a science festival in pubs. Without hesitation, I jumped on that opportunity - and that's how my love story with science communication began! 💘

What's mind-blowing is that I spent exactly 12 years in research (including my PhD in neuroscience and 8 years in London) and now 12 years in science communication. A perfect symmetry that ends tomorrow - as I'll officially have spent more time in science comm than in research!

From the lab bench to the stage, from international scientific collaborations to developing Pint of Science across 27 countries, from conference presentations to training scientists... These years have shaped me in a unique way.

I may have left the lab, but I'll always be a scientist at heart 🧬

Thank you to everyone who trusted me, followed my crazy projects, and believes in making science accessible to all ✨

🤒 Have you heard of the human cytomegalovirus? Most of us have it and live with it with few issues. However, in immunocompromised people, like cancer patients or transplant recipients, it could have devastating effects. There is currently no vaccine or effective treatment for it.

📽️ Medicine PhD student Mahlaqua Mila Noor proposes a type of immunotherapy that harnesses the body's own 'Natural Killer cells' to treat patients – a safe, non-toxic treatment for very vulnerable patients.

@milanoor_19 was speaking at 2024's @Falling_Walls Lab UK hosted by @EngineeringAtCambridge. She's also a @gates.cambridge scholar from @hugheshallcam

⚡️Wirksam Konflikte lösen zu können ist der Schlüssel zur Förderung von Innovationen, zur Verbesserung der Teamdynamik und zum Treffen besserer Entscheidungen.
Und dies gilt sowohl für die schnelllebige Startup-Welt als auch für die wettbewerbsintensive Welt der Wissenschaft.

Erfahre, wie Du unterschiedliche Meinungen in Möglichkeiten der Zusammenarbeit umwandeln und Beziehungen stärkst, die Dein Team zum Erfolg führen. Uneinigkeiten, unterschiedliche Visionen und andere Konflikte zwischen Teammitgliedern sind unter den häufigsten Gründen für das Scheitern von Startups.

Im Modul Teamwork Essentials lernst Du verschiedene Team-Dynamiken und -Rollen kennen, reflektierst Deine persönlichen Teamerfahrungen und erfährst, wie Zusammenarbeit im Team gut funktionieren kann.

Der Workshop richtet sich an Doktoranden und Postdocs aller Fachdisziplinen.

📅 25. November 2024
🕒 10 - 15 Uhr
📍 online
💬 Englisch

👉 jetzt anmelden bis zum 22. November!

Professional highlight of the year 🎉 What a fantastic team! What can I say? “An extraordinary professional adventure with the Falling Walls Foundation!”

Back in 2021, I had the privilege of being on stage. This year, 2024, I joined the incredible team “behind the walls,” working to prepare breakthroughs for the scientific summit.

Here are my five key takeaways:
🔵Knowledge management
🔵Resilience and adaptability
🔵Commitment to excellence
🔵Teamwork
🔵Value of systems and structure

This journey reinforced how exceptional (educational) organizations thrive, through leaders who learn, adapt, and maintain discipline.

Kudos to the Falling Walls Foundation team and specifically the Lab project. 🥳
