A childhood dominated by dinner table conversations around ion-channels, power-microscopy, nuclear war and ecosystems-collapse left its marks. Instead of becoming a rockstar, which had been the original plan, Thomas became an entrepreneur driven by applying the power of science and technology towards making the planet a good place. This led to a series of for-profit and non-profit organisations, initiatives and projects towards that objective which can be explored on his website https://thomas.cr. Thomas is a Social Entrepreneur, Futurist, and Author of 2 books, numerous essays, and good TEDxFrankfurt talk.
