In May 2025, Lucas Morales — a former postdoc and now a research associate in computational biology with Helge Grosshans — represented the FMI in Brno at the EU-LIFE Science Vision Talk Contest, a science communication competition inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest. Although his live performance didn’t go quite as planned, Lucas recorded a second version back at the FMI. In this Q&A, he shares his experience preparing for and performing at the contest, along with reflections on his career path, research interests, and passion for science communication.
