Main interests

Originally trained as a molecular biologist, I have been exploring the field of bio/eco art, citizen science and science communication for almost 10 years. My main interest lies in the facilitation of creative learning experiences and transdisciplinary biological research. As a member of the International Hackteria Network and founder of the mikroBIOMIK Society I actively work towards an open and participative culture in the natural sciences and beyond. To achieve this, I coordinate interdisciplinary research projects, organize retreats, devise and facilitate workshops and teach Biology for Media Art & Design students at the Bauhaus-University Weimar.

I also really love humus - both on my plate and in the soil.
