Public relations
Public relations are an important part of my work as a curator at the Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie. Apart from almost daily dealings with the media, this also includes work on exhibitions, guided tours in the Museum and help and advice for amateur palaeontologists.
