Tim Schröder – Wissenschaftsjournalist Oldenburg
Dear reader,
thank you for stopping by. This is to briefly introduce myself and give you an idea of what I am doing as a science writer and who I am. I live in the beautiful city of Oldenburg in the northwestern part of Germany and have been working here as a freelance science writer and journalist for more than 20 years now. I own a diploma in biology and a minor degree in marine physics. After completing a two-year internship in a regional newspaper I worked as an editor in the science section of the Berliner Zeitung in Berlin. In 2001 I started my career as an independent author and since then I have been writing for leading magazines and newspapers such as Financial Times (Germany), Neue Zürcher Zeitung, The Economist, Süddeutsche Zeitung or the German edition of Scientific American. I also work for companies and research institutes such as the Fraunhofer Society and Max Planck Society. I frequently give communication workshops and trainings for journalists and scientists.
My writing focuses on the natural sciences, technology, applied research, basic research, energy and the environment. My articles are both informative and entertaining to read. Moreover they usually have a kind of a twist in the tail.
In 2011 I was awarded the prestigious Georg-von-Holtzbrinck-Prize for Science Journalism. Holtzbrinck publishing house publishes both “Nature” magazine and “Scientific American”. Other prizes followed in 2012 and 2014.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch.
