Multidisciplinary work and code of conduct

Besides working as a science editor I also write as jounalist. To avoid conflict of interests I write journalistic articles only about issues and topics in which customers of mine are not involved. As journalist I follow the rules of the press code of the German Press Council. (or German booklet as pdf-file: http://www.presserat.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Downloads_Dateien/Pressekodex2017english.pdf).
