I give a lot of scientific talks and workshops on Data Communication, Biomedical Visualization, and at times RNA biology. Rarely also on the history of visualizations in biology!

Meetup series
During the pandemic I founded the DataViz helpdesk to teach visualization to scientists myself, later on I also had guests for tutorials (see DataViz academy on youtube), this kicked off the BioVis meetup series.
Undergraduate teaching
I regularly teach Bachelor and Master students at Berlin Hochschule für Technik (Bioinformatics, Data Visualization) and at the TU Dresden give courses for medical and biology students in data science and visualization.
