From Nebraska to Berlin: Alexandrea Swanson on Cultural Diplomacy, Women in Tech, and Going All In
In this episode of Fulbright Pulse, we sit down with Alexandrea Swanson, communications professional, advocate for women in technology, and committed transatlanticist, to trace a decade-long journey that began with a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant grant in 2014 and has never really stopped since. Alex grew up in Nebraska, studied international relations and German studies at Creighton University, and arrived in Kirchheim, Hessen as one of the few Americans many of her students and their parents had ever met. What followed was not a straight line, but a series of deliberate, all-in decisions: a second Fulbright with the Pädagogischer Austauschdienst, a master's degree in politics, economics, and philosophy, and years of building her career from the inside of German industry — before stepping into her newest chapter as Head of Business Development at VML in Berlin. In this conversation, we follow Alex from that first classroom in Hessen with its overhead projectors and overwhelming number of keys, through the moment she first encountered the word Digitalisierung at a Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung event and felt something click into place. We hear about the years she spent navigating German residency law, working at Scholz & Friends, AmCham Germany, and the Goethe-Institut, before landing at the BDI to build SheTransformsIT. We dive into that initiative: why only 17 to 18 percent of Germany's IT workforce is female, one of the lowest rates in Europe, and what it actually takes to change that number. Alex walks us through the FRIDA project, winner of the Impact of Diversity Award 2024, and the cross-party 10-Point Plan that made it into Germany's coalition contract. She reflects on where she found allies, where she hit walls, and why visibility alone is never quite enough. We close with a conversation that feels especially timely: what it means to be a transatlanticist in 2026, how the Fulbright community fits into a turbulent moment in German-American relations, and why the only thing that will get us unstuck is movement. Alex is the 2025 recipient of the Jürgen-Mulert-Award for Mutual Understanding, awarded by the German Fulbright Alumni Association.

Anne von Fallois (Chair and CEO of Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung): From Fulbright to Fighting HIV
In this special World AIDS Day episode of Fulbright PULSE, we sit down with Anne von Fallois, Chair and CEO of the Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung (German AIDS Foundation), to explore how a Fulbright experience can plant seeds that grow into a lifetime of public service. Anne's journey has taken her from studying international affairs at George Washington University as a 1991/92 Fulbright Scholar, through two decades at the Office of the Federal President of Germany, to executive search consulting at Kienbaum, and finally to leading one of Germany's most vital public health organizations. She took the helm of the Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung on December 1st, 2023—World AIDS Day—a symbolic beginning to her mission of fighting HIV, AIDS, and the stigma surrounding them. In this conversation, we trace Anne's path from Washington, DC to her current role, discussing how her Fulbright year shaped her understanding of diversity, identity, and democratic values. We explore the foundation's work both in Germany and internationally—from supporting people living with HIV at home to funding grassroots health projects in Kenya, South Africa, and Ukraine. Anne shares sobering realities about the current global HIV landscape, including the impact of funding cuts and political uncertainty on communities that depend on consistent support. We also discuss the importance of testing, the game-changing potential of new long-acting prevention medication, and why solidarity matters now more than ever. Anne reflects on what it means to lead a foundation in times of rising discrimination, how civil society serves as a cornerstone of democracy, and why Fulbrighters have a special responsibility to defend transatlantic friendship and shared values. This episode is published on December 1st, 2025, World AIDS Day and the two-year anniversary of Anne taking leadership of the foundation. It's a conversation about memory, responsibility, and the ongoing fight for a society that celebrates diversity and stands up for those at the margins.

Prof. Dr. Vincent Sitzmann (Professor at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab)
In this episode, our guest is Prof. Dr. Vincent Sitzmann, Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, where he leads the Scene Representation Group at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. We talk about his research vision. And we talk about his path graduating from the Technical University of Munich with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, moving to Stanford for his Master's degree in computer science, becoming a PhD student at Stanford in electrical engineering, and rising to prominence as a world-leading scientist in his field of computer vision. We find out about some of the key moments along that path and about his and his groups' most recent breakthrough, published in Nature, the world's most prestigious journal for scientific research, inspiring the future of cost-effective and ubiquitous robotics. And we learn about the people, culture, and conditions needed for trailblazing research as he experienced it in Stanford and fosters it in his group at MIT. Interviewed by Mohamed Kari (mkari.de).
