We're back!
I'm your host, Franziska Sattler-Morrison, inviting you to join me on a journey where we explore the fascinating world of science without any unnecessary sweeteners. In our newest episode, "Protein Power & Science Stand-Up," I chat with the talented molecular biologist Anita Waltho, who brings a refreshing twist to science communication through her blend of stand-up comedy and improv.
Get ready for a fun-filled exploration of the intersection between protein science and humor!
- About Anita:
Anita Waltho is a molecular biologist working at the Max Delbrück Centre for Molecular Medicine. She studies proteins – the tiny machines and structures that keep everything working in our cells! In particular, she is researching how proteins are regulated by a complex tagging system. These tags decide a protein’s fate, which can vary from transportation to a different compartment of the cell to their destruction! Protein destruction may sound negative, but actually, it’s vital to ensure quality control, as mutant or incorrectly formed proteins can cause disease.
At work, Anita can be found 90% of the time in the lab with a pipette in hand, working with proteins, yeast, or human cells. For the remaining 10% she is analyzing her data on the computer.
In her free time, Anita pursues her passions of science communication, and comedy. On stage, she regularly performs improv theatre and stand-up comedy and has participated in multiple science slams. Behind the scenes, she has participated in scicomm summer schools and scicomm teacher training and is currently an organizer of Soapbox Science outreach events and teaches lab skills to teenagers at the Gläsernes Labor. Ultimately, what these pursuits have in common are communication, performance, and entertainment, skills that Anita believes can level up future science communication!
