Litterpicking event with local school

Image
  ๐Ÿงน Today, I organize a #litterpicking event together with a local school. What felt special was that moment I walked in, I was greeted by around 60 children, buzzing with excitement to get started. ❤️ In fact, I barely made it through my explanation before they were already on their feet, ready to take action. That was so heartwarming! ๐Ÿ‘ง And the great think was that the idea came from two girls who simply decided they wanted to make a difference. And while the playground at first glance looked clean, we in the end had collected five full bags of trash. ๐Ÿ’ช To me, this is a powerful reminder that anyone - no matter what age - can turn ideas into action with teamwork. And we will repeat this event at some point in the future!

Radio interview about plastic pollution

  ๐ŸŽค Today, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dennis Brunnecker for a radio documentary on plastic pollution. ๐Ÿ’š We spoke about the litterpicking initiative I’m leading, as well as my work in communicating the science behind this growing environmental challenge. ๐Ÿงน It turned was a wonderful conversation with great questions. I’m really looking forward to continuing our conversation in a more hands-on way when he joins the river cleanup this Saturday. Conversations are important but action is where change truly begins. #cleanup #environment #sustainability

Interview by local newspaper about river cleanup

Today we were interviewed by the local newspaper about the river #cleanup we’re coordinating this Saturday. We expect a lot of people and I’m sure their report inspires even more to join. I’m excited and really looking forward to it!

Tangible results with litterpicking

 ๐Ÿ’š Today, I collected 14 bags of trash from nature! These tangible results are one of the many reasons I love litterpicking so much. Now I feel very satisfied and am sure I will sleep very well! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Quantum Lab guided tour at Fraunhofer

Image
  ๐Ÿ’ฌ Many of us assume our WhatsApp messages are completely safe because they’re protected by end-to-end encryption. But this is not quite true! ⚛️ Last week, I had the chance to join a guided tour at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO "Quantum Lab". While AI continues to dominate headlines, researchers are already working on the next potentially world-changing technology: Quantum computing. ๐Ÿ’ก One of the mind-blowing characteristics of quantum computers is that they can solve certain mathematical problems much faster than today’s computers. This is important to know, because many of the #encryption methods we rely on today – including those used to secure WhatsApp messages – are based on mathematical problems that are extremely difficult for current computers to solve. ❗ Quantum computers could change that. โ„น️ This means that your messages are safe today, but once quantum computers mature, they may be able to break today’s encryption standards far ...

An unforgettable keynote

Image
  ๐Ÿฅน Wow, I didn’t expect this and made it an unforgettable experience: ๐ŸŽ‡ At the Winterconference organised by the German Speakers Association, I was genuinely blown away by the positive feedback I received after my keynote! ๐Ÿค– This year’s conference focused on #ArtificialIntelligence, exploring both its incredible opportunities and the challenges it brings. As a #cybersecurity expert, I chose to focus on a side of #AI that often surprises people: how AI systems can be hacked. ๐ŸŽค During my keynote, I demonstrated how a chatbot can be manipulated to reveal sensitive personal data and even answer unethical questions. I could literally see stunned faces and jaws dropping. ๐Ÿ˜ I truly enjoyed giving this presentation. And judging by the reactions in the room, the audience enjoyed it just as much. ๐Ÿ™ What made the feedback afterwards especially meaningful to me is who it came from: fellow professional speakers who are used to seeing excellent presentations. Receiving such positive...

I won the prompting competition

  ๐ŸŽ‰ And the winner is… me! ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐ŸŽค Last week at the Winterconvention, organized by the German Speakers Association, I participated in a unique prompting competition. The challenge? Get #AI to generate the funniest possible answers based on the exercises given. ๐Ÿ† I think my everyday experience with prompting, and my background as an ethical hacker, testing AI #chatbots gave me the edge… because I won! ๐Ÿ˜ It was such a fun and inspiring experience, and I’m beyond grateful for the amazing prize: an invitation to an exclusive meeting with “Speaker of the Year” award winners. As a professional speaker myself, this is a truly unique opportunity! ๐Ÿš€ Feeling motivated, inspired, and ready for the next AI penetration test for more chatbot hacking! #ethicalHacking #penetrationTesting
