Interview

What is the best thing about your job?

The freedom to deal with topics that I find important and working together with inspiring colleagues.

If you had not gone into research, what would you be doing today?

I might have studied medicine and become a doctor.

Who or what inspires you?

The exchange with colleagues here in Bonn, but also worldwide and the desire to contribute to evidence-based policy making.

When was the last time you had to change your mind?

I had to revise my prejudices about human resource departments of private companies since I recently started cooperating with them. They are more open towards scientific evidence than I previously suspected.

Which advice would you have needed yourself as a doctoral student?

Not to put too much pressure on yourself and to only work on topics that really drive you.
