In the fourth episode of Puzzle Science, titled Skeleton of an Invertebrate TiMollusc: No Bones but Still Strong, I sit down with Tim Wollesen, a Professor of Zoology at the University of Vienna, specializing in EvoDevo. We dive into Tim's childhood fascination with collecting dead animals (trust us, there's a funny story behind it!) and explore the nuances of the German school system and the impact of parental support. Our conversation touches on the value of basic research, effective science communication, and the art of slowing down—in both research and life. We also discuss the dynamics of intercultural marriage, the balance between support and critique in mentorship, and the power of language. We delve into how words can heal or harm, the importance of speaking up, and embracing our societal responsibilities. It’s a conversation rich with diverse insights—tune in with an open heart and share your thoughts!
