I am a researcher who fell in love with writing, and I am now working as a Public Information Officer/Program Officer at the INCF Secretariat in Stockholm, Sweden - though all views expressed on this blog are of course purely personal, and do not represent the official standpoint of anyone but myself.
I have a PhD in Computational Neuroscience (thesis here), a MSc in Engineering Physics (thesis here) and a passionate interest for the natural sciences - especially the interface between biology, theory and math. A randomly chosen Saturday evening it is quite likely you will find me reading a few scientific papers, or digging though a journal archive - just for fun. But don't worry, I also cook (experimentally), read tons of books, sing, and make stuff.
I started science blogging in March 2005 (in Swedish), an action which somehow snowballed into freelance science writing. In 2008 I got a grant to write a Swedish book on molecular gastronomy together with one of Sweden's best food writers, Lisa Förare Winbladh. Most of the draft texts are published as blog posts on our project blog - in Swedish. You could always run both these blogs through Google Translate, if you are really curious, but that mostly serves as an illustration of the current limits of machine translation. I am also on Twitter.
