Bärbel Winkler lives and works in Germany. She has always had a lot of interest in environmental issues and has been active as a volunteer at the local zoo and a conservation group for many years. Over time and while learning more and more about it, Bärbel became increasingly aware and concerned about climate change and what it will mean for generations to come. As a means to turn her concerns regarding climate change into something productive, Bärbel joined the Skeptical Science team in 2010 and started translating selected content into German. Since 2013 she has been coordinating the translation efforts for all languages, various handbooks and most recently the Cranky Uncle game. She also regularly writes blog-posts for Skeptical Science and helps with whatever needs coordinating in the background.

For more information, please check out Bärbel's blog post My Climate Story: Coming full Circle published on Sept. 14, 2020.
