Outreach
Education & Public Outreach
I regularly participate in science outreach activities exploiting diverse communication channels. I thus gave multiple media interviews for various radios, podcasts, magazines, newspapers as well as popular-scientific lectures mostly discussing my research and broader climate change issues to educate the general public and younger generation. In this way I hope to spark interest for meteorology and climate science and concurrently raise climate change awareness so that we as a society can more effectively tackle the global climate crisis and best preserve our beautiful planet.
