After high school graduation, I studied linguistics and worked as a technical translator for several years. Here I gathered valuable experience about communication and what impact it has.
But the job as translator did not seem to be the perfect job for my lifetime, so I was looking for an alternative. I had a strong interest in climate change, the effects it has on our lives and how to build up a sustainable energy supply. Therefore, I studied power engineering and renewable energies as a second degree. This opened up the possibility for me to work as an engineer in the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, first in the photovoltaics research and now in the field of water electrolysis.
Having a background both in linguistics and engineering, I am particularly interested in science communication: How can we communicate scientific results or technical information effectively and make sure it reaches the relevant people and has the impact it deserves? And what responsibility comes with the power that words can have?
Besides these rather intellectual tasks I also like to work with my hands. So, in my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, baking bread and growing food in my garden.

As a PhD scholar at Comenius University in Bratislava - Slovakia, my research focuses on Bentonite deposits. In 2018, I was part of a group of young Sudanese geologists who organized meetings and conferences to discuss the future of the mining industry in our country. We raised awareness about the negative impacts of artisanal mining and mercury use on the environment and reminded decision-makers of the importance of clear mining and environmental regulations. Our efforts resulted in successful seminars and conferences where we gathered stakeholders and scientists to discuss revising the country's mining policy and drafting a new mining code. We aimed to clarify the obligations and rights of companies and society, following international mining codes such as JORC, SAMREC, CIM, and CRIRSCO. Recently, I became a member of the International Association for Promoting Geoethics to learn more about sustainable development and help spread this knowledge among our geological communities.

I am currently in the second year of a PhD in the sociology of science at the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University in Wales. My research is focussed on exploring the phenomenon of climate activism by scientists and how norms around advocacy and activism are developing in the scientific community.
The Potsdam Summer Schools focus on the ethical responsibilities of scientists is also of personal significance to me. I have a background in the natural sciences, having completed a PhD in Ecology a decade ago, and subsequently worked as post-doc on a project examining permafrost carbon cycle feedbacks in Arctic Canada. My experiences led me to reflect deeply on how scientists should act upon their research findings, and I became increasingly involved in advocacy work on these issues.

Through reflecting on my personal involvement and discussing these matters with colleagues I have become fascinated by the ethical questions posed by scientific activism, and it was this that led me to switch disciplines to better understand new developments in the interface between science and society. I am particularly interested in how scientists understand the value-free ideal, the risks of the politicisation of science, and how activism can be understood as a non-traditional form of science communication and public engagement.
