Making science accessible

Getting accurate and engaging information about the advancements of science is, un­for­tu­nate­ly, a privilege. Scientists often cannot en­gage with their audience in a way that makes their message understandable. On the other hand, skilful writers without scientific back­ground often oversimplify, either missing the point or warping the message in the process.

I have made it my goal to be able to explain my re­search in simple yet accurate terms to any­body who is ready to listen or read my texts. I have given sci­en­tific presentations to scientists and school children alike, and taught scientific writing to university students.

Would you like me to give a popular scientific talk or write a news piece on a scientific topic in English or Finnish? Get in touch!
