that's what I do:
I've been a science writer for roughly 15 years now, starting my career right after my degree at ETH Zürich (Interdisciplinary Science).
I had several responsible editor jobs along the way (Wochenzeitung, Basler Zeitung, Der Bund), but I might prefer the freelance freedom
slightly over business hours in an office, if I'm honest. I miss working in a team with smart colleagues, though!

I'm part of the editorial team of the magazine moneta (published by Alternative Bank)
and I blog for KSB Kulturmagazin about culture (aso), with some friends from Bern.
Telling stories about science in a journalistic article feels very limited. Some years ago, I started exploring other formats to reflect on science and tech:
on stage, as a festival, finding unusual venues and mixing very diverse audiences. This has become more and more of a professional activity,
I've started taking care of ever bigger events and, lately, exhibitions. And there's more to come!

I've founded Solutionsbüro with two coder/hacker friends.
We offer tailor made digital solutions for problems connected with arts projects (stage, installation, performances).
And we organise events with the aim of inspiring artists to work with new tech.
Organisation of workshops and conferences between art, science and tech
I might be a bit of an introvert, but strangely enough I'm pretty comfortable on stage. I regularly moderate panels and talks.
A life less ordinary. I like geek stuff, cocktails, bringing people together, books. And a lot of things I can't think of right now - this list is all but complete.

I coded this myself! Please excuse the clumsiness, I'm a beginner. But I've learned much more than just some HTML doing this.
“Because programming is intertwining with writing, it’s changing what it means to be literate in the 21st century. Computer programming is re-coding literacy.”
