Mötesplats Rydberg: Anna Davour "Adventures in popular science"

Tuesday 15 Jun 2021, 15:15 → 16:15 Europe/Stockholm

Rydbergsalen (Zoom) (Fysiska institutionen)

Somehow I have been lucky enough to end up as the physics
and astronomy editor for the (arguably) best popular science magazine
in Sweden. After a PhD and a postdoc, getting into the world of media
made for some interesting culture clashes. I'll talk about what it's
like to work as a science journalist and meet the world of science
from the outside, and I'll share some things I've learned about
communicating science to a general audience.
