Today’s Coffee Connection is Carol Anne Costabile-Heming who is one of our most dedicated long-term Research Ambassadors. She is a Professor of German at the University of North Texas, Denton.

I had the opportunity to chat with Carol Anne about her path from focusing her studies on Chemistry to graduating with a PhD in German. Carol Anne spent time in Germany and specifically Berlin in 1990 and she shares her unique experience during these tumultuous times. Some of her experiences are reminiscent of the movie Good Bye, Lenin! (7:40 - 22:00)

As a Research Ambassador she has a lot of experience advising researchers and students on funding applications – during our conversation she shares valuable tips for success. (25:30 - 34:30)

This week’s travel suggestions are Leipzig and Marbach.
