Science
Over the past five years as a doctoral candidate, I have accumulated a great amount of scientific knowledge in the realms of gaming and esports. My work revolves around individual and team performance in these two areas.
In my weekly newsletter 'Gaming Science', I discuss gaming and esports-related topics such as performance, health, technology, and industry insights from a scientific perspective. Furthermore, in guest episodes, experts from both fields share their insights on current trends, problems, careers, and similar subjects.
