Speaker: Dr. Nora Balzer
Everybody enjoys a good podcast, be it an audio or a video, reaching a wide audience and building a kind of connection to the topic and the speakers. In the fourth episode of the LIMES-WiS podcast we present you one of our own voices, Nora Balzer. An amazing scientist, an active member of LIMES Women in Science initiative, one of the flag bearers of the LIMES WiS Podcast and a mother to a 5-year-old.
Nora is currently finalizing her Ph.D. in immunology and developmental biology in the lab of Prof. Elvira Mass at the LIMES Institute of the University of Bonn. In this episode Nora shares with us how her interest in having conversations and communicating with people lead to the WiS podcast idea to be formed and executed. She also takes us through her experiences in the field of science, the challenges as both, a computational and wet lab scientist. She gives us a glimpse through her life, about her decision to come into science and about her future plans.
