About

I have been working in science communication for the past 10 years. Between 2012 and 2017, I was managing the press team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). We were 12 people with either journalism or science background. Besides the traditional press release, we were producing animations, infographics, videos and other contents for social media. Some of our videos even aired on BBC, Al Jazeera, or CNN. I do immodestly believe that we have contributed to set new standards in institutional science communication - at least in our small country. Having a political mind, I have a taste for institutional crisis management. This could make for some nice stories, but most of my achievements in that field are unfortunately classified.
