Julia Heymann

Journalist, Scientist

I am a molecular biologist that used to investigate infectious diseases. Now - mostly because I am interested in almost everything - I am a freelance science journalist. I try to make as many people as possible see how cool the things are that scientists do! I strongly believe in the power of curiosity. I love books, sports, animals and loud music, and I also enjoy traveling a lot. For recent articles and transations see: www.juliaheymann-texte.de
