Manuel studied biochemistry and molecular biology and completed his doctorate in 2017. As a long-time science slammer, he dedicated himself to science communication during this time and was also active as a lecturer in student laboratories and as a freelance trainer. After his doctorate, he worked for a while as Science Communication Officer at the Luxembourg Center of Systems Biomedicine. Since 2021, he has been Head of Communications and Public Relations at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen. It is important to him that scientific topics are made accessible to a broad audience outside the academic world.
In his interactive workshops, Manuel shows how complex content can be explained in an understandable way. Efficient and targeted presentation techniques, but also scientific and popular science writing are the main topics in his courses. He also organizes and moderates science slams at regional and national level.
