Abstract
In our interview with Jens Foell, we discuss his prior research work in neuropsychology and neuroimaging and recent transition to a full-time science communication position. For several years, Jens has been involved in a large-scale “rotating curator” science communication project called Real Scientists. More recently, Jens led the launch of the German language spin-off. Jens shares his insights in how to be a science communicator and how this has become a full-time job for him. Jens also discusses how labs can differ in their culture—such as their working environment and expectations for working hours.
