🎉 We are happy to share that UCF alumna Martha “Millie“ Lemke won 1st place of the poster awards at the Interdisciplinary College (IK) spring school, sponsored by the German Cognitive Science Society.
This year’s IK theme “Bridging Realities of Brains, Language, and Technology” provided the perfect context for Millie to present her poster titled “When language shapes reality: Fight metaphors in immunology.” The poster is based on her bachelor thesis she wrote in 2025 – supervised by Dr. Simon Büchner and Prof. Dr. Susana Minguet – in the LAS Major Life Sciences.

Congratulations Millie!

✨ Alumni Spotlight: Elisa

From Culture & History to European Studies at UCL 🇪🇺

During her time in LAS Freiburg, Elisa explored everything from film studies to Roman history, while staying focused on her passion for the European Union.

Along the way, she got involved in EPICUR, worked as a student assistant, and gained journalism experience at FAZ and ARTE.

Today, she has completed her MA at UCL and reflects on how valuable an interdisciplinary education really is - especially in fast-paced, real-world settings.

💡 Her advice: Explore broadly, but don’t lose sight of what truly interests you.

Meet Denicia! She graduated in 2022 and is currently pursuing a PhD at the science policy interface at the Chair of Nature Conversation & Landscape Ecology,
