"Wanted to compose film music": Prof. Hendrik Streeck private

Prof. Hendrik Streeck is not only a respected virologist, but also an emerging thriller author and freshly elected member of the Bundestag of the CDU. With his new novel "The Institute - In Shadow of Science", he has already caused a stir in the bestseller lists. The book, which plays with a fictitious virus, draws parallels to real challenges in scientific research and stimulates the discussion about the situation in this area.

originally pursued Streeck the intention of writing a non -fiction book to illuminate the difficulties with which young scientists are faced. He emphasizes that negative results are just as important in research as positive, which is often ignored in the publication landscape. His novel makes it possible to present complex topics in an entertaining way and to achieve a broader readership.

Streeck, which has been known in the past for its factual and often controversial contributions to the Corona debate, explains that his political activity was motivated by pandemic. He sees politics the opportunity to make positive changes and wants to bring in his medical knowledge. His approach is to work with all parties, regardless of the political differences.

In a personal conversation, Streeck also expresses his musical ambitions. He began his academic career with music sciences with the aim of composing film music. His musical passion is still evident today, even if he is currently not active. This musical character taught him to act empathically and analytically - skills that are required in both medicine and politics.

With a clear focus on the future and the desire to make a difference, Streeck plans to remain active in science and politics. His experiences in emergency medicine, especially in the largest emergency room in South Africa, have taught him to act and show sympathy even in difficult situations. Streeck is convinced that he is able to make concrete and positive contributions in society through his professional and personal experiences. Despite possible challenges, he is decided not to withdraw and continue his commitment.
