Communications officer at Department of Chemistry
Location

My background is in astronomy and astrophysics (PhD, Lund University). Through astronomy, I discovered how incredibly fun and important it is to communicate research. After doing a lot of freelance writing, I realised that science communication is what I truly want to do—so here I am. I am passionate about making exciting research and science accessible and engaging for everyone!

Below, you’ll find what I’ve published from Umeå University. I also write for SciLifeLab’s national website and keep our research centers’ and infrastructures’ pages up to date.
