Berlin just after the fall of the Wall was the setting for my postdoctoral studies supported by the Humboldt Foundation. My Humboldt fellowship enabled much more than some of my best scientific research. It also allowed me to establish professional relationships that set a platform for my career. Knowing that you are part of the Humboldt community gives you confidence to strike out into new areas of scientific research and to find where you can make the greatest impact.
