4/ While this has all been quite stressful, I keep on trying to focus on the positives, like the fact we were able to capture some important interviews and other footage for our documentary, as well as some beautiful aurora shots 😊.

3/ Just as we were beaming with happiness that we achieved the main things we wanted in Alaska, despite many challenges, we found out that our flights have been delayed by a couple of days 😅. This is going to make catching our flights to Slovakia next week pretty tricky.

2/ We faced big snowstorms and very cold temperatures in Alaska while trying to do our work. When we almost gave up hope to film the northern lights for our documentary, we got extremely lucky one night and most things worked out (though some of our gear broke at almost -40 F/-40 C).

What a rollercoaster of a work trip to Alaska this has been (and it's still ongoing 😅).

The time I spend on educational activities is very rewarding for me. I enjoy answering questions and trying to motivate others to follow their dreams, just as I have been following mine since I was a child 😊.

3/ Doing something fun, especially with teammates, is a particularly powerful boost to our spirits 😊. Here we are enjoying a break at Santa's House in North Pole, which was very needed since we were a bit down due to some unexpected complications in our plans.

2/ However, with time, I realized that taking breaks and enjoying the moment can have an extremely positive effect on the body and mind. They help me feel more productive and re-energized when I get back to work.

I used to feel guilty every time I took even the shortest break from work. There's always an endless amount of things that need to get done and I felt that I had no choice just to slave away until the neverending to-do list decreased in size at least a little bit.

3/ Many of my friends and family joke though, that they wish I would prefer studying warmer places instead 😉. I'm grateful Cameron hasn't been put off from joining me on my extreme expeditions (yet) 😅.

Greetings from North Pole, Alaska 😊.

2/ I won't deny that I love extreme natural environments, particularly cold ones. That's what makes my work be more like a hobby. I combine studying the limits of life on Earth in some of its most challenging habitats with the search for alien life.

To study extremophiles, one must become an extremophile - is something people have said about me repeatedly throughout my life 😀.

9/ Now, after years of breaking into spaces that once felt unreachable, Michaela is focused on widening access, lowering barriers, and making sure the next generation does not have to walk alone."

8/ This is a conversation about ambition, womanhood, and the quiet resilience required to keep choosing yourself.

7/ We talk about what it means to build a life in a field that was never designed for you, to move through the world without mentors or a safety net, and to keep going when success does not look the way it is supposed to.
