« […] It was truly a wonderful experience, especially for someone like me, who usually creates data and sits behind a desk, to have the opportunity to work with you. You inspired us with your creativity and, above all, with your enthusiasm for bringing this difficult topic to the public. I had the privilege of witnessing how you inspired the school class that came this morning in the drizzle with your enthusiasm, just as you inspired Anja and me as well. […] »
