Yeah, I’ve been joining ever since the call for right.With new Timea and with the women. Techmakers my name is Susanne and yeah, there have been different nicknames floating around, but actually I prefer Susanne, to be honest. I mean, yeah, let’s say within our family naming is very popular, so. One popular nickname I have at the moment is “Sai Seni”. Because when my daughter started to learn English, she just took the German birds and tried to pronounce them in an English way.So now it’s Sai Seni but yeah, I actually.
TIMEA: Okay. I promise I will not write emails to you with your nickname from now and it’s okay.
SUSANNE: You can use that for example, like Susie, the very common thing I used to have, like in my early. It is. I don’t like that. I guess about all I do request twice later on, so three random things about me.Well, yeah, one thing I am thinking of is like speaking, I think what a lot about sharing these days, like car sharing for sustainability reasons and stuff like that. So we do have a dog that we share with our neighbors.
TIMEA: Oh, Yeah, that’s more tell us more.
SUSANNE: So yeah, like I think almost every child, our daughter, as well as started the conversation like two years ago, like I wanted to have a pet.I have a dog that wants to have a pet. And we always tried to cut up the discussion by saying, well, you know, that we both work.

So youcan freeze them, you can cook them, you can put them in space.They will survive. They will just come back to lifem And they have seemingly eternal life And they’re just amazing. And.They also look, really really cute.And that combination I find is also kind of a macro for diversity, right? Things that might seemingly look cute, actually have.Great strength in them. So a huge set of tardigrades.And two other facts about me, I once stood on a stage with the rapper Tiger. If that tells you something,

TIMEA:That’s the next level public speaking fear for me in front of a huge stagewith a wellknown rapper. That’s something.
FRANZISKA:Yeah, but the fun fact was that all of the other people went towards him. And I was like, Yeah, I’m on stage.And I just enjoyed that kind of a little bit more than.No proximity. There are no videos as far as I know.But I’m a big big. Afrobeats and dance all and hip hop in and so forth. So itwas an honor to be called up them and to be able to do my thing. And the third fact that again not a lot Of people know about me.My grandparent
