Seminar: Nicole Börner

Behind every major scientific breakthrough stands something far less glamorous — a constant negotiation between ambition, deadlines, funding constraints, and human dynamics. What does it really take to coordinate international teams, millions in funding, and high-stakes expectations without slowing down discovery? This talk offers an honest, slightly irreverent look at the hidden system behind the science — and why, despite the complexity, it is still one of the most rewarding roles in science.
