board at my university institute promoted excursions to every continent, stimulating my wanderlust. In 1998, I left Europe for the first time \u2013 five weeks on work experience in an engineering office in Ecuador, South America, where I lived with a local family who shaped me into who I am today. In 1999 and 2000, I continued my travels with extended stays in Australia for research projects at the University of Sydney. In 2002, I spent two months conducting field research for the University of Bonn in the savannah of Benin, Africa. Subsequently, I visited numerous other countries for research projects and personal tours. One of my guiding principles has emerged and accompanied me ever since: \u201cTraveling shaped my personality\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9320bb2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9320bb2\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c75b65c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c75b65c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c26669e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c26669e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Because I have always been fascinated by science, I immersed myself in various research roles between 1997 and 2012: Starting as a student assistant in Giessen, moving on to a PhD student position at the University of Hohenheim, and ultimately completing my doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) and serving as a research fellow and lecturer at the University of Bonn.<\/p><p>Throughout these years, I have consistently been enthusiastic about attending networking events and international science conferences, as well as delivering talks and poster presentations on my research. The lively exchange with other experts continues to inspire me. I have also ventured on numerous excursions through rainforests, high mountains, seashores, volcanic landscapes, deserts, savannahs, and cities and countries on six continents. I may even travel to Antarctica in the future.<\/p><p>Eventually, as research funding dried up, I reinvented myself, turning my passion for presentations and my skill in providing in-depth feedback into my primary profession: collaborating with scientists and business leaders at the intersection of science, business, and international affairs. So in 2015, I turned my passion for presentations and my strength in providing well-founded feedback into my main profession, which has since become my calling: as a science trainer and coach for presentations in science and business, my days are just as varied as before. .<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac98019 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ac98019\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41eb31e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"41eb31e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/drstephenwagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bild2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3086\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfe3e7b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bfe3e7b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8949cec elementor-align-right elementor-mobile-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8949cec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/drstephenwagner.com\/en\/dr-stephen-wagner\/science-and-presentation\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\" ti-arrow-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to Science and Presentations<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82c0111 elementor-align-right elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"82c0111\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/drstephenwagner.com\/en\/dr-stephen-wagner\/my-philosophy\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\" ti-arrow-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Continue to My Philosophy<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Stephen.
