“I am member of the Young Academy of Sweden because it means a lot to me as a research leader to meet people from different academic backgrounds and universities, with different interests and knowledge, and together highlight research issues, problems and solutions from a variety of different angles. The network and the immediate insight and access into research policy are experiences and tools I will bring with me long after my membership's term in the academy.”
