THE HUMAN SIDE OF SCIENCE
True stories from women scientists around the world
Part of Berlin Science Week 2025
For one night only, six women scientists leave their labs and take the stage to share the stories behind the science: tales of struggle, resilience, and humanity that remind us how deeply connected we all are.
These are not lectures, but 8-minute true stories, told live and without notes, shaped with the support of theater-trained coaches from Female Speaking Berlin.
Our storytellers are part of the Falling Walls Female Science Talents network, a global community of exceptional scientists redefining leadership, impact, and inclusion. Most are flying to Berlin from around the world to attend the Falling Walls Conference, and for one night only, they’ll step out of the conference halls and onto the stage to share their personal stories.
Expect an evening of honesty, humor, and heart:
🎙️ Six curated stories
🎵 Live music
💌 Anonymous audience notes read aloud
🌍 The event is in English. Everyone is welcome.
Because behind every discovery is a human story.
Join us for a night where science meets storytelling.
Presented by:
🌟 Falling Walls Female Science Talents – championing female leadership in science and beyond
🌟 Female Speaking Berlin – empowering women to speak up, stand out, and lead
🌟 THE bEAR – Berlin’s longest-running stage for true, personal stories
