FAQ

What is this website about?
This website presents how I can support your business by having a brainstorming session, perform a market analysis, or by supporting you in your scientific communication efforts, or other innovation topics. If you are a student and would like to discuss your career or receive mentoring, please reach out to me or got o Mentor for Scientists.

Do you work in a sector or topic?
Yes and no, my academic background is in life science and protein science for use in food but I have since assisted inventors from sectors as different as chemistry and software, boats and microscopy, herbs and drones. Just ask and let’s discuss.

Are you open to short term projects?
Yes, I prefer short term consulting projects with a clear deadline.

What makes you special?
I have a strong scientific academic background but also experience in scientific communication and market analysis (Techtransfer), project proposal review, and have crossed many sectors from food science to material science, from cosmetics to biotech and medtech.

Can we reach out for a brainstorming session?
Yes, certainly. I would love that!

Can you issue invoices? and what about pricing?
Yes, I have a Swiss business identification number (UID, CHE-268.646.771) that allows me to do that. I also have a small online shop where I get creative. Please reach out to receive a personalised offer.

I feel lost in my job search. Can you help me build a strategy?
Yes. Together we define your target roles, tailor your CV and cover letters, and create a structured application plan that saves time and increases your chances of success.

I’m not confident about my CV. Can you review it and tell me what to improve?
Of course. I provide detailed, actionable feedback to make your CV clearer, stronger, and aligned with the roles you’re aiming for, whether academic or industry.

I have an interview coming up. Can you help me prepare?
Yes. I offer mock interviews, feedback on your answers, and guidance on how to communicate your scientific experience in a compelling, non‑technical way.

I want to publish my research but don’t know where to start. Can you support me?
I can help you structure your manuscript, refine your message, and navigate journal expectations so you can submit with confidence.

I’m thinking of leaving academia but feel guilty or unsure. Can we talk about it?
Absolutely. Many scientists feel this way. I offer a safe, judgment‑free space to explore your options, your values, and what a fulfilling next step could look like.

I want to improve how I communicate my science. Can you help?
Yes. I support you with storytelling, clarity, structure, and audience‑appropriate language, whether for presentations, pitches, or public‑facing content.

I’d like ongoing mentorship, not just a one‑off session. Is that possible?
Yes. I offer longer‑term mentoring for scientists who want continuous support with career decisions, communication, and professional growth.
