I am a research scientist at the Centre of Integrative Bee Research (CIBER) at UWA, investigating how stress affects the fertility of male honeybees. Additionally, I was involved in the production of the movie “More than Honey” which was the most successful documentary for 2012 in Switzerland. At the moment I am in charge of the ongoing movie blog for Switzerland and Germany, and its translation into English. For my PhD I investigated how an intestinal parasite affectd bumblebees. I interrupted my scientific career to work in a Swiss bank for four years, concluding the experience with an MBA. As I am married to the head of CIBER you can say I often take work home. We have two sons aged 10 and five and our family lived in Zurich, Copenhagen and Perth.
