Researcher blogs

Communication skills are one the most applicable skills researchers will have to train, develop and use during their education and daily work. In this opportunity, we want to share an interview series created by one of our KI postdoctoral researchers as part of an internship experience.
Kristen Schroeder has a PhD in microbiology from Stockholm University, and currently is a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet. As part of the KI internship program for postdoctoral researchers, Kristen joined scientifyRESEARCH, a Stockholm startup helping researchers connect with funding opportunities. Kristen spent a two month internship as a digital storyteller, practicing and developing communication skills through interviewing founders of research support service startups. Below you can read some of these posts.

(i) OA.mg: find and access research papers at lightning speed
(ii) PeerRef: journal-independent open peer review
(iii) Radioteraquiz: gamified learning for medical professionals
(iv) Global Campus: a platform to find researchers
(v) Science communication: why writing a paper is no longer enough
(vi) Iris.ai: a scientific AI trained to help researchers work 
(vii) SciFlow: technology made for creating research publications
