Dr. Saša Aden
Founder of The Power of SciComm. Researcher. Communicator. Creator.
Saša completed her master’s degree in Biotechnology and her doctoral studies in Biomedicine at the University of Ljubljana. She conducted part of her master’s studies at the Technical University of Munich, and her research for both her master’s and doctoral theses was carried out at the Department of Molecular Biology and Nanobiotechnology at the Institute of Chemistry. She has published her research in prestigious scientific journals and presented her findings at numerous international conferences. She has also received notable awards for her research work.
In addition to her scientific endeavors, during her studies, she was actively involved in the Biotechnology Student Society, where she served as the president of the society, organizing and leading various projects (roundtable discussions, symposia, trips, publications, etc.), thereby acquiring many skills that she applies in her current work. Already during her doctoral studies, she engaged in presenting her research to the wider public, nurturing her desire to expand the reach of scientific stories.

Testimonials
Zelo priporočam sodelovanje s Sašo. Saša je opravila doktorat na našem odseku, Odsek za molekularno biologijo in nanobiotehnologijo, na Kemijskem inštitutu. Vedno so jo poleg znanstvenih vsebin zanimali tudi različni načini sporočanja svojih rezultatov strokovni javnosti, kar pa je še posebej pomembno, pa tudi laični javnosti. S svojimi dovršenimi predstavitvami na strokovnih konferencah je vedno vzbudila pozornost. Rada se loteva inovativnih načinov prikaza znanstvenih izsledkov in nagovara publiko s še nepreizkušenimi načini komuniciranja. Veseli me, da si je za novo profesionalno pot izbrala komuniciranje v znanosti in verjamem, da bo tudi tu zelo uspešna.
Sašo Aden poznam iz časa ko sem bila vodja študijskega programa Biotehnologija na Biotehnični fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani. Bila je ena izmed najbolj angažiranih študentov v letniku saj je v okviru Biotehnološkega društvo študentov organizirala strokovne ekskurzije za študente in okrogle mize o tematikah biotehnologije na splošno, posebej pa je bila aktivna pri popularizaciji problematike gensko spremenjenih organizmov z izdajo posebne zloženke in predstavitvami širši javnosti. Kljub intenzivni obštudijski dejavnosti je bila odlična študentka, ki je svojo karierno pot nadaljevala do doktorata in uspešne raziskovalke, sedaj pa se je podala v poslovne vode z ustanovitvijo podjetja za komunikacije v znanosti. Kot nekdanja profesorica sem zelo ponosna na študentx, ki so pogumni in se podajo v poslovne tokove. Verjamem, da bo Saši uspelo, glede na njene izjemne komunikacijske in organizacijske sposobnosti ob zelo dobremu razumevanju tako bazične kot aplikativne znanosti.
I had the privilege of working as a guest scientist alongside Saša at the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana. Saša possesses an extraordinary talent for organizing and planning experiments. She is highly motivated to solve methodological problems and demonstrates a remarkable ability to respond and adapt to unforeseen issues without losing her positive attitude. Furthermore, she quickly grasped the theoretical background of my project, enabling her to plan and execute experiments efficiently within a short timeframe. Saša’s ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and clear manner is truly exceptional. During my time in her lab, she patiently and amiably taught me new laboratory methods, which I comprehended immediately thanks to her outstanding skill in simplifying complicated subjects. I wholeheartedly recommend Saša based on my experience working with her.
Sašo sem spoznala s pričetkom dela na Kemijskem inštitutu, ko je bila že prekaljena znanstvenica. Kadarkoli sem jo pocukala za rokav, je z mano z veseljem delila vsa znanja, predvsem pa veliko več vredne praktične izkušnje, ki so tudi mene uspešno uvedle v raziskovalne vode. Zaradi njene topline, odprtosti in nalezljive dobre volje, sva kmalu postali mnogo več kot le sodelavki. V stresnih trenutkih mojega doktorskega dela, me pomiri in mi vlije zaupanje, da bo vse v redu. Je pozorna poslušateljica in živahna sogovornica, pri kateri tem kar ne zmanjka, pa naj si bodo to znanstvena vprašanja, ali pa le nasveti iz vsakodnevnega življenja. Saša je neumorna raziskovalka na vseh področjih, ki ve, da nas je strah le tistega, česar ne razumemo. V znanju je moč in Saša je živo znanje na dveh nogah. Z veseljem priporočam, da se obrnete nanjo in se prepričate!
Saša ima izjemen dar, da tudi najbolj kompleksne zadeve poda na navdušujoče razumljiv način. Ničkolikokrat sem jo pocukala za rokav ob pripravi preštevilnih prezentacij, znanstvenem delu v laboratoriju in računalniških tehnikalijah. Njena rama je bila trdna opora tudi v težjih življenjskih preizkušnjah. Ljubiteljica lepega, izjemno modra in sofisticirana raziskovalka tisočih talentov, ki ji v življenju nikoli ni dolgčas. Zelo priporočam!
