Speaker
Description
In this short talk, I will share my journey through astrophysics: from my early curiosity about the stars I could see on cold winter nights, to some examples of scientific insights that have shaped my career. Reflecting on the years since the first NORNDIP conference in 2018, I will consider how diversity in physics and the participation of women in STEM have evolved in Sweden and across the Nordic region. The continued vitality of the NORNDIP network, now thriving beyond its initial funding, demonstrates progress and persistence. I will discuss what I think has changed, and what still needs attention, and how we can work together over the next seven years to expand not only our scientific horizons but also the inclusiveness and sustainability of our community.
