Scientific staff <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss Academy of Sciences<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018 I am employed as scientific staff at the Swiss Academies\nof Sciences, more explicitly in the Swiss Biodiversity Forum in Bern. Our main\ngoals are to support biodiversity research and create a link between scientists\nand policy-makers in this field. Simultaneously, I am teaching at the Technical\nHighschool Rapperswil (HRS), covering lectures in \u201cLandscape Ecology\u201c and\n\u201cNature and Landscape Maintenance\u201c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Swiss Academies of Sciences my responsibilities range from\nwriting a monthly newsletter on biodiversity research to investigating\nbiodiversity-harming subsidies in Switzerland. With this we create quite an\noutreach and help policy-makers understand the relevance of this issue. My\nambition is that more people grasp the fundamental implications of biodiversity\nloss and incorporate it in their daily choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my PhD in conservation genetics at the ETH in Zurich and\nPostdocs in Berlin, Aberdeen and Zurich, I published a substantial amount of\npapers in renowned journals, such as New Phytologist<\/em>. However, that is\nwhere my academic journey ended in the traditional sense and my career turned to\nmy way more outreaching current positions, which have direct impact on society.\nI believe the experience I gained during an assignment at the Swiss Federal\nInstitute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) before starting my PhD,\nproved that I have expertise beyond conservation genetics which was essential\nfor finding my current positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
