I studied biology at the Free University of Berlin and received my doctorate in 2004 with a focus on zoology. My own research focuses on acarology, entomology, phoresy, evolutionary biology, ecology and taxonomy. Between 2004 and 2014 I held courses with lectures at the FU Berlin and published more than 25 scientific articles. I have also worked on TV documentaries as a macro filmmaker and publish videos on my YouTube channel. I present photo projects on the Adobe Behance page https://www.behance.net/stefanwirth?locale=de_DE
I publish science communication articles on various of my channels.
