Martin Bernhofer, specialist in theater and hispanic studies,
writer and journalist, lecturer and moderator, has been at the head of the
Science, Education and Society Department of the radio station Ö1 (Austria
1) at the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) since November 2002. A
fish-out-of-water some might argue, Dr. Bernhofer is a highly versatile and

acquired over the past two decades have allowed him to gain valuable experience
and expertise in a field usually reserved for experts.

and patriotism.
