Petra Schwille (Max Planck Institute)

#11 — Petra is a dedicated high flyer that simply loves her work (and her music, for which there is little she cannot play to concert level!). We chat about how she was given very little PhD supervision but encouraged to simply explore.We also discuss her time in the USA before returning to Germany where she has become a Director at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry.Not only high flying at work, Petra also has a head for heights that she reveals as we talk about raising and balancing family life, her hobbies which include climbing and yes…music!
