    Hi Mariana, thanks for offering you expertise here 🙂 Since a long time I am indeed thinking about giving “Skype-a-Scientist” a go. I really love the idea of reaching out to pupils to get them enthusiastic about plants, but also to “demystify” as well as confirm some of the sterotypes towards scientists. Since it sounds like you already had a couple of session, I would be happy to hear about your experience in regards to the preparation as well as the sessions as such. In particular, here a couple of thoughts from my side:

    • How did your Skype-a-Scientist sessions look like? Do teachers approach you already with certain concepts, or did you develop them by yourself?
    • How much time did you invest in preparation? Did you get any support (by e.g. skype-a-scientist, teachers etc)?
    • How long were those sessions and how did they look like in your case?
    • Would like to share a personal highlight? I could imagine you run into many unexpected situations during those sessions 🙂

    Looking forward to your feedback & many thanks in advance!
