Griaß eich! For years I’ve had a lover: RNA. But alongside my favorite macromolecule, as a molecular biologist I also care deeply about scientists leaving their ivory towers and bringing state-of-the-art research into the public sphere. That’s why, in my free time, you can find me on stages across Germany as a science slammer or in the depths of social media as a science communicator. And if not, I’m probably skiing in my beloved Alps.

Ciao a tutti! I am Alice from Italy, currently conducting research at Max Planck Institute in Dresden. Beyond my scientific pursuits, I also have a passion for music, being a vocalist, and connecting with people is ingrained in my nature. I joined Live Science eV because I am deeply committed to advancing inclusivity within in science and fostering female role models, especially in the fields of STEM. To me, it is fundamental that the public comprehends the essence of science. Let's journey together towards a world where science is a bridge that unites, educates and empowers.

Bonjour. I am a postdoctoral researcher from France and my research field is molecular and cell biology. I am a cheerful and open-minded person who seeks exchanges, so I am particularly interested in networking our association with local research institutes, cultural groups, and event organizers to jointly organize the association's ongoing and future events. I am also active in sustainability circles in my spare time.

I am Aparajita, from India! I am a scientist studying the liver using microscopes which lets me see how life works through small molecular machines. I am passionate about communicating the science I do and enjoy reading and cooking. I have been part of science outreach events such as Soapbox Science where scientists share their ideas and answer questions from the public. I hope and aim to bring a similar dialogue platform to Dresden through Live Science e.V.

My name is Katja and I am from Bulgaria! As an advisor for international researchers in Dresden, I support them throughout their integration journey — from pre-arrival preparation to their stay and eventual departure. Through organizing outreach events and activities with Live Science e.V. we bridge the gap between science and society, proving that language is no barrier in science communication. By making complex research accessible to audiences of all ages — sometimes even over a glass of beer — we foster curiosity, inclusion, and cultural exchange beyond the lab.

Hi there! I'm the Kraut in our team, and that makes me quite active in the organization. I'm a trained molecular biologist, but I've also dedicated myself professionally to science communication. During the day, I manage research projects, and in the evenings, you'll find me at Beerology. Science and its people truly captivate me. Research continually builds bridges between genders, nationalities, religions, and ethnicities to collaborate on common societal challenges and propel them forward with solutions. Sharing this fascination with the people of Dresden is particularly close to my heart.
