Summary
Anna Henschel is a Berlin-based science communicator and PhD researcher in social robotics with eight years' experience translating complex research into accessible formats for public and policy audiences. As Editor of Wissenschaftskommunikation.de and former project manager at Wissenschaft im Dialog, she shapes editorial strategy, coordinates partners, and runs social channels to elevate debates around science and technology. Her background in cognitive neuropsychology and hands-on research—from neuroimaging studies to gender and diversity projects—gives her a rare combination of empirical rigor and storytelling skill. She has explored how metaphors and language shape public perceptions of AI during a residency at Cyber Valley, demonstrating interest in the social impacts of emerging tech beyond technical descriptions. Known for convening events and workshops that bridge academia and the public, she brings a pragmatic, research-informed approach to science policy and engagement.
