Too much interesting stuff in this world.
Fun ‘facts’
- People tell me I look shorter on zoom than in real life.
- I was an uncle (second degree) before I was born.
- If you substitute context in ourpaper with state it sounds pretty scary. (link needed)
- Because I grew up bilingually, I sometimes confuse numbers in the range of 60-99: in German you say the last position first; in Spanish it is the other way around. (For some reason I only seem to make this error for numbers >60).
- I seem to be bad at deciphering what people say, even though my hearing itself is good (according to some doctor in Berlin…).
- Bananas rule (healthy, yummy, easy to eat, cheap, what do you want more from life?).
- The best hot chocolate place in Berlin.
- Yes, I still like the US, although it sometimes feels scary.
- Surprisingly inspirational.
- Put on 80/90/00s music and I dance, dance, dance.
- My metabolism does not abide by the laws of the universe, if I eat a piece of cake I gain double its weight the next day.
- Luckily, I lose weight as fast as I gain it.
- Yes, my phenotype is the analog of mixing coffee with milk.
- I am bad with remembering names AND faces, but I am not prosopagnosic.
Good luck on your adventures.
