Other Check-in: Write for KI Researcher's blog (May)
Would you like to develop your writing skills? Come and join us!
Join us as a PhD student, Postdoctoral Researcher or alumni blogger!
About KI Researchers Blog
The blog is run by a team of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, alumni and Career Service staff at Karolinska Institutet. Its purpose of this blog is to help prospective students and researchers get an idea of what studying and doing research at Karolinska Institutet is like. Our bloggers provide an inside perspective on everyday life, even if it is not directly career related, as life as an academic can be both challenging and exciting!
Target group
PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and alumni
The digital check-ins are bi-monthly, and participation is not mandatory but highly encouraged. We go through ideas, drafts and can have small workshops (how to write popular science, interview technique, different writing styles, etc) by demand. Let us know what you need!
Apart from the check-ins, Natalie is available throughout the term by mail, and we can book short digital coaching sessions if you want to discuss ideas or need help.
About the editor of the blog
A bit more than a decade ago, Natalie von der Lehr dropped the pipette and grabbed a pen instead. She is now a freelance science journalist and communicator working with a variety of science communication. She writes articles about science politics and popular science, produces podcasts and creates content for social media. She also coaches scientists who want to work on their communication skills, for example the PhD students and postdocs who contribute the the KI researchers blog.
Natalie completed a PhD in Molecular Genetics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in 2003 and was a postdoc at Karolinska Institutet before going back to school to become a science journalist.
