Helmut Jungwirth, Science Buster

How does a trained molecular biologist become a professor of science communication?

Helmut Jungwirth, Science Buster, tried to explain his research to his father and failed – for years. Then he learned to convey the content in a way that his father understood. Correct communication can be learned and practised, playfully and practically – and now this is available in the master module Communicating – Intervening – Cooperating.
