Helmut Jungwirth
Alumni in Portrait July 2023
Helmut Jungwirth is Austria's first university professor for science communication and has been an ensemble member of the science cabaret Science Busters since 2015. How this came about, how his two jobs differ from each other and what the Science Busters have to do with this year's Alumni Day on October 21, 2023, is what we talked about with the molecular biologist in the current alumni portrait.
