Science Slam Helsinki 2015: a triumph for Inverse Problems
Last November I attended a fun event here in Helsinki: a sort of mix between science and stand-up comedy called Science Slam Helsinki. A Science Slam is a form of science communication to general audience. Each scientist gives a short talk (10-15 mins) to popularise science. Often such events are held in non-academic places, like pubs. Science […]
Women in Mathematics in Finland: Kirsi Peltonen
I am so excited to announce this upcoming event: the first lecture Women in Mathematics in Finland. I organised the seminar as national coordinator for European Women in Mathematics, since we discussed with the local members that we needed our local network to be more active. Visibility for women in mathematics is much needed in Finland, […]

The seminar takes place almost every week of the study periods, usually in room B321 of Exactum, Kumpulan Kampus. Speakers and audience are usually formed by undergrad […]

I already mentioned some aspects of the problem in this post, but you can find infinite material about the gender gap in science in the net. Locally in Helsinki and […]
The book that will improve your presentations
How many times have you been sitting among the audience of some conference, regretting you did not take anything to read? Or blaming yourself for not having charged your laptop the night before? Surely, one too many. Unfortunately good presenting skills do not belong to the standard professional package of a scientist. Many thinks it is not so […]
#16days: each of us can fight violence against women
We are now in the middle of a campaign called 16 days, lasting from Nov 25th to Dec 10th, to fight violence against women. Why on earth I write about it on a math and science blog? Well, various reasons. First of all, this blog is also about education, that is a extensive part of […]
