An old man and a child in the same body, interested in human health research and is trying not to stumble too much into socially awkward situations. Besides that he's just trying to finish his master in immunology whilst finding enough time for cooking, playing Magic, D'n'D and other nerdy stuff.

I am a Master student at the University of Berne and currently am working on my master thesis about learning during sleep.
I love the idea of Pint of Science, where science is for everyone. Is there a better place or way to talk about science than while having a cold beer in your favourite pub?
