I was born and grew up mostly in Germany. I studied biology and did my PhD in parasitology, exploring the malaria liver stage. Work and love made me move to Melbourne, Australia, where I spent 7 fantastic years as a postdoc – still working mainly on malaria. In 2015 I brought my family with me back to Europe and we are now living in the Netherlands. We have a 4-year-old son who already enjoys nature and wants to know everything. Now, with the foldscope I can show him a whole new world that he was, until now, unaware of.
