The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin's Live Talk series Diverse Science, co-organized by Postdoctoral Fellow Bernadette Lessel, seeks to show the diversity that has always existed in research. In it, researchers from different disciplines and institutions present their research, talk about their life's journey, and share a biographical topic of their choice with the participants. A moderator accompanies the discussion.
