Editorial articles
I’ve been an editor of the EGU Geodynamics blog website since May 2019, and have edited a variety of blog posts authored by many talented scientists. Since 2021, I’m the topical editor for our new monthly feature: “The PhD Chronicles“.
This blog feature gives a special place for PhD researchers to share their experiences. Many PhD student encounter the same challenges and successes at some point: a first conference, a first publication, interaction with a supervisor, work-life balance, passing your defence, etcetera, etcetera. Starting in 2021, every first Monday of the month, a PhD student will share their experiences on one of these commonly encountered situations and provide their unique view on the matter.

Through the Early Career Scientist committee of the European Geosciences Union, I’m part of several working groups that aim at strengthening the voice of young scientists in the community. In particular, topics like diversity, inclusion, and equality in the academic world lie close to my heart, and I try to integrate my ambitions into these working groups and committees.
