What do you miss most about the RUB?
"Break espresso, the view of Lottental. The direct exchange with colleagues."

What's the first thing you do when you get back to the university campus?
"Everything that's fallen by the wayside at the home office. These are mostly hands-on activities on our testing grounds."

How do you keep yourself in shape at the home office?
"Jogging, biking and discovering the (very beautiful) Ruhr area on the side."

What is the biggest challenge for you in Corona everyday life?
"To bring variety to the workplace."

What did you maybe learn for yourself during your Corona time?
"That the adage 'strength lies in peace' is true - but at some point it reaches its limits."
