TEAM
Susanne Thiele
Biologist, press officer, and trade journalist in love with bacteria
Susanne came on board just four months before the manuscript was due and managed to write Part III of the book, „Construction Site Sex and Gender“ in a very short time.
Vladimir Kochergin
Biologist with philosophy in the blood
Vladimir provided many tankfuls of writing material and took care of the proper wording. His expertise was the key to the world of agents and publishers. Without him, the book would have remained a dream.
