<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"></font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Soapbox Science is a public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and their remarkable science. It is all about bringing cutting edge science to the public, in an accessible, fun and unintimidating
way. Since 2011, Soapbox Science has grown from one event in London to dozens of events worldwide, and has involved thousands of speakers, volunteers and organizers. Scientists in all career stages - PhD students, PostDocs, Professors - are standing on soapboxes
in busy public spaces so that they can be heckled, questioned, and probed by the passers-by in a fun, informal setting about their research. There are no screens, no microphones, only props, games, hand-on examples and whatever else is usable to shed light
on the science and the passion for it.</font><br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Elisabeth</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">My research focuses on general method development in image processing, in particular for biomedical applications. This includes texture recognition, shape description, image registration, classification, and image retrieval.
Currently I am in particular interested in applying representation learning to generate common representations with equivariant properties for multimodal imaging data. Applications of my research include screening programs for early cancer detection, or registration
and cross-modal retrieval of images captured by different microscopy modalities to combine the information of these different imaging techniques. However, the methods I develop are general and applicable to a broad range of different data also.</font><br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Title: <span lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight:normal">Diving deep into the ocean to study the oldest animals alive</span></span><br>
</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="en-US">Deep-sea marine sponges are the oldest extant animals and remain quite enigmatic to this date. Their body has no organs or symmetry and they live as sessile filter feeders, predominantly in the oceans.
In my PhD, I investigated sponges from population level (i.e. across the entire North Atlantic), to individuals (producing a reference genome), to their associated microbes and molecules.
</span></font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="en-US">During the science fika, I’ll showcase some bits from my doctoral research highlighting why sponges are interesting to many fields of research (medicine, evolution, symbioses), what I’ve found, and
open up for discussions.</span></font><br>
