Bernhard Kegel has been hanging out with the biologists and geologists at Bremen’s Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), acquiring background information and inspiration for a new novel. In January 2013, he accompanied his new colleagues to a field research station in Jordan, and in April he accompanied ZMT scientists on a research cruise in the Galapagos Islands. He took up residence as a Fellow at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg from April to June of 2013, and began outlining plans for the new book, while continuing his research with colleagues at ZMT. During his time as a Fellow, he incited debate amoung FMS members and the HWK’s interdisciplinary community of scientists and scholars, with his lecture “To become a storyteller of science you have to be a scientist first – and then forget about it.” He also joined local scientists and scholars to read from and discuss his last novel, Tiefer Fall, for the Delmenhorst, Bremen, and Bremerhaven public.
