Your science is brilliant.
Let’s make the world see it.
I help scientists and research institutions turn complex work into clear, compelling communication — and build the personal brand to match. Whether you're a PhD who can't explain your thesis at a dinner table, or an institution that wants its researchers to stop being invisible online, I've been exactly where you are.
How can we work together?
Why me?
I spent years being a scientist who couldn't explain what he was doing to his own family. My research was on functional polymers and neutron scattering — try selling that at Christmas dinner.
No one taught me how to communicate science. My PhD supervisor certainly didn't. The academic system rewards publications, not clarity. So I figured it out myself — the hard way — through a podcast, through writing, and eventually through six years of scriptwriting for Kurzgesagt, one of the world's most-watched science channels.
I now work as an instrument scientist at the neutron research facility FRM II in Munich. I haven't left science — I just refuse to let it stay invisible. And I want to help you do the same.
Common questions
Do you deliver workshops in English or German?
Both. I'm a native German speaker and equally comfortable delivering sessions in English. Most institutional workshops are in English for international research groups.
Can workshops be tailored to a specific discipline?
Yes — and I'd insist on it. Generic SciComm training is almost useless. Before every workshop I learn about your field, your audience, and your communication goals so the content actually lands.
I'm a PhD student with no budget. Can I still work with you?
Reach out anyway. I offer a limited number of subsidised coaching spots for early-career researchers who can't access institutional funding. No promises, but ask.
How is this different from a standard presentation skills course?
Entirely different. Presentation training teaches you to stand up straight and make eye contact. I work on your story, your positioning, and your long-term presence as a scientist in the world — not just a 20-minute talk.
