[Drand] ScientiFika news: Instagram page, free student coaching & new team members

[Nikki Arendse]

Dear Juniors,

We would like to share a few news items with you:

Brand new Instagram page: ScientiFika now has an Instagram account! Follow us on https://www.instagram.com/scientifika.su/ and tag us when you post pictures or videos of your favourite talks!

Free student coaching: Student ambassador Furaha brought to our attention that there are precious resources for students that only few are aware of. At the incubator Drivhuset, they offer free coaching for students at Stockholm University. Although they are primarily aimed at business ideas, they told Furaha that the're also happy to coach students with pitching or presenting their research. Learn more and get in contact here: https://www.su.se/english/education/careers/university-support-for-innovation-and-business-ideas

New team members: if you missed the event where we introduced our new ScientiFika team members, here they are again:


Ludwig Neste

He is a PhD student at Stockholm University, researching the mysterious neutrinos with IceCube, located at the SouthPole. Ludwig joined the team to build this website, so if you find any bugs, he is to blame. He loves trying out new and weird coffees, and is still working on his latte-art.


Judit Prat

As a Nordita postdoctoral fellow, she explores cosmic history by studying galaxy clustering and gravitational lensing. Alongside her research, she is interested in art and photography, highlighted by her upcoming book, "Chicago in Color," which captures her experiences in Chicago through minimalist photography. She also enjoys the outdoors and is eager to learn more about Nordic culture, blending her professional interests with a passion for community and the Scandinavian natural beauty.


Milena Crnogorčević

>From Montenegro to Hong Kong, Vermont, and Maryland, Milena found her home in Stockholm in 2023. She is a postdoctoral fellow at the Oskar Klein Centre, keeping herself occupied by thinking about the ways she can use gamma rays, gravitational waves, and neutrinos to search for signatures of dark matter and new physics in the Universe. She is deeply invested in addressing the lack of diversity and equity in the pipeline to becoming an astrophysicist. If not in her office in Albanova, she can be found swimming at Eriksdalsbadet, bouldering, hiking, or getting lost around Stockholm trying to follow the blue dot on Google Maps.


Pavel Štěch

Born in Czechia, Pavel is pursuing a Master’s degree in Theoretical Physics. He came to Stockholm in 2023 after finishing his undergraduate studies in London. When he is not in a library, you can usually find him with a frisbee in his hand, in a climbing gym or just exploring various hot dog stands in the city.

We are extremely thankful to them for joining our team and already helping out massively!

All the best,
The ScientiFika team
