Eva Wolfangel has heard the word “no” a lot in her professional life. One of the first times came two decades ago, when she told the Career Office at Humboldt University of Berlin that she would be going into journalism. They recommended she find a more gescheit, or sensible, job. Wolfangel ignored their advice, going on to write about technology for major German-language newspapers and magazines and becoming the European Science Writer of the Year in 2018.
