48 hours in Berlin | Life as a PhD student #20
I went behind the Iron Curtain, visited a Russian village, and was interviewed by my friend Ines!
My interview on the Curious Minds hub:
The rest of the website for this initiative is really cool actually:
Ines' channel:
The Russian colony:
Berliner Messe:
The New Synagogue:
As there are two companies called Merck, I'd like to clarify that I was dealing with the German one! Merck is known as Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in the United States and Canada.
Full disclosure: this video ISN'T sponsored but is related to a campaign that I was involved with and was paid for my involvement. While I am discussing the company and the campaign in this video I wasn't paid to do so, and the company had no oversight in this video's content. (I just genuinely liked working with them!)

I am Simon, a fourth year PhD candidate at the University of Exeter. I upload videos on bits of science which are relevant to what I do, and sometimes just because they're really cool.
