Sustainable Leadership for Science Initiative

- Speaker
Linn Voß is a toxicologist and biochemist who studied in Berlin, Heidelberg, Copenhagen and Zurich. During her Bachelor and Master degree, she investigated various topics like protein degradation, protein production, protein-protein interaction and protein oxidation. This did not directly lead to her PhD in nanotoxicology, but Linn loves to leave the known terrain and explore something new.
During her time in academia, she experienced its light and dark sides: Linn dropped out of two Master and one PhD programme before finding the right fit (and getting that title in the end). But while her relationship with academia was never easy, she is a big advocate for science. Even though she does not stand in the lab anymore, she wants to enhance the working conditions of researchers in all disciplines. Using her experience as a project manager, process facilitator and scientists, she builds bridges wherever possible.
