  • Fynn Steiner

    My Bachelor’s studies in history at HU Berlin have deepened my interest in the history of climate-change science. Through previous experience as a student assistant, I have come to greatly value collaboration as a practice in the humanities, which is why I am especially excited to contribute to the CAS “Applied Humanities.”
