Experience of communicating results with stakeholders/end users

Besides research articles published in scientific journals and several abstracts presented at international meetings I have arranged a workshop on POPs and obesity in Uppsala, June 2010. Since I was a Master student and throughout my career, I have regularly communicated my research findings to the public through different media. I have communicated my research in national media, such as Swedish newspapers, radio and TV but also in international media. In addition I have started an open free course in “Medical aspects of Environmental toxicology” at UU.

OTHER INFORMATION

Research profile

Expertise in health effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in general but more specificallyon bone tissue/osteoporosis. In recent years I have broadened my research interest to also look at the effects of EDCs on obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Scientific publications:75 peer-reviewed publications in international journals since 1999 (a majority of them as first or last author).
