Learn more about the faces behind the research. What are the struggles of a young woman in science? What happens when you leave academia? What are the hurdles of families who want to pursue careers in science? Behind every committed researcher lies a long and difficult path to Higher Education, filled with countless obstacles. With this new podcast Franziska wants to give doctoral students, postdocs, as well as scientists who left academia, a platform to tell us their story. Most importantly, we will find out how her guests enjoy their coffee along the way.

Shedding Light on the Gut Microbiota & Slamming for Science

This is the episode you've all been waiting for!

My guest, Lisa Budzinski, is not only a fantastic person and an overall amazing science communicator - no!
Lisa could brew beer, grow organs in Petri dishes or produce drugs, all with the help of microorganisms. But instead, she decided to "dig" in fecal samples and analyze your intestinal bacteria. She conducts research at the German Rheumatism Research Centre Berlin, where she works on the intestinal microbiome by examining countless stool samples in the laboratory to determine the composition of intestinal bacteria, which varies from person to person, and their influence on chronic inflammation.

All of this usually takes place in the lab during the day, but in the evenings when Lisa kicks it up a notch and takes on the stage.
She's extremely passionate about communicating in many different forms and Science Slams are right up her alley. In December 2022, she even became the German Science Slam champion!

During this episode, we talk about Lisa's journey, how she ended up as a biotechnologist, and how Science Slams changed her life. You'll find out how you could start your own science communication adventures, what it takes to be on stage, and tips and tricks on how to find your own niche.

So get yourself a hot beverage and enjoy this (guaranteed odorless) dive into intestinal bacteria research and Slamming for Science.

About Lisa:
Lisa Budzinski is a Biotechnologist fascinated by science as much as by science communication. She focused on the analysis of the human intestinal microbial community in her Ph.D. Thesis and communicates her approach regularly at science slams to the public. “Science slams perfectly match my way of communication: short and somewhat funny in an easy setting with a connection to the audience."

Sponsors for this month's episode:
This episode was made possible with the support of the German Rheumatism Research Centre Berlin/ Deutschen Rheumaforschungs-Zentrum (DRFZ). Scientists at the DRFZ have been investigating rheumatism since 1988. Today, the DRFZ, an institute of the Leibniz Association, is one of the leading international institutes in the field of immunology, experimental rheumatology, and rheumatism epidemiology. This is not least due to the unique interdisciplinary cooperation of natural scientists, physicians, and sociologists.
