What did I get out of the internship?

6 months ago I left Denmark with a lot of expectations. I had already spend a lot of hours in a laboratory working on other projects and been through the entire research process from finding a hypotheses to a final discussion and conclusion of the work. However, to start this process over again was something I really [...]

Where are the science students?

After a hectic morning in the lab I went downstairs for what I thought would be a relaxing morning tea break. When a saw the chairs lined up as in a cinema my first concerns started to take shape. What was going on? My apprehension was confirmed when I was told an hour long faculty [...]

An exciting Saturday

If you need a bit of excitement…..

You should put on some ugly clothes…..

Get the right gear…..

And then jump put of a plane

That’s what I did today and it’s so much fun!

Why travelling is wonderful!

Busy airports with countless security checks and frisking. Lots of hours spend in uncomfortable plane seats. Sleepless nights because of jet lag. The negative aspects of travelling are obvious so why on earth do I travel around the world optionally? I simply love it because it opens my eyes for the great diversity in our wonderful [...]

Intel ISEF

Over and over again I’m asked the same questions from family, friends, journalists and other people I talk to: “How was Intel ISEF?” and “What was the best?” The first part is easy to answer: “Intel ISEF was fantastic!” The second question, though, is hard to answer briefly because an intense week together with the most [...]

Visit at Stanford University

Trust me, I really love travelling, but the jet lag part of it is not my favourite. With an anxious feeling of having slept too long, I woke up in the middle of the night realizing that the time was no more than 3 am. Luckily I easily fell asleep again and next day when [...]

Finally in the USA

Just the thought of more waiting time in airports, boarding passes and gate numbers, not to mention jet lag, makes me feel exhausted. The 1st of May my journey 2/3 around the globe started in Adelaide. After a 30 hours trip I returned to my old home in Denmark on Saturday the 2nd where I [...]

Anzac Day

Even though I live in the city which can be rather noisy, I had never tried to wake up to the sound of bagpipes. At least not until Saturday where drummers and pipers already from the morning started playing their instruments on the street right outside my window. The reason was that they had their [...]

A normal day

What are you actually doing in Australia? This is a question I often hear from friends and relatives. It’s definitely not easy to answer, but the short answer is: I do a lot of different things. Of course I work a lot during the weekdays and on the weekends I’m always busy and meet up with [...]

Preparation for science competition and Easter

Half a month has passed without any new posts on the blog. What has happened? The answer is simple. Preparations to the science competition Intel ISEF to which I’m going in May (read the background for the trip on the post how it all started) has taken much effort and have been very time consuming.
