Låna en forskare initiative

Today, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Låna en forskare initiative, where I shared “En dag i en forskares liv” (A Day in the Life of a Scientist) with students for the very first time. This experience was both thrilling and rewarding, and I’m so glad I took part in it.

During the session, I presented online and included some videos of my work in the lab to give the students a real glimpse into the daily life of a scientist. I also explained why we do our work, incorporating age-appropriate comparisons to make the concepts more relatable. It was wonderful to see their curiosity and enthusiasm. In the end, the students engaged in a lively discussion about their perceptions of what a scientist is and what they had learned from the session.

I had a lot of fun preparing the presentation, taking videos and photos while working in the lab to make it as engaging as possible. Participating in this initiative has reinforced my belief in the importance of science education and outreach. It’s crucial to inspire the next generation and show them the exciting possibilities within the field of science.

Looking forward to more opportunities to share and inspire!
