For ten years, I had the privilege of developing and coordinating a citizen science project about climate change effects on the growing season. I have a PhD in plant evolutionary ecology but my original profession was a maths and science teacher in secondary school. With my background as both a researcher and school teacher, I now work at Public and Science Sweden to develop our activities towards pupils and teachers as well as on citizen science. As a researcher, I will also work on the studies and investigations performed by Public and Science Sweden.
