Hei igjen! Nå har jeg fått vært med noen av de trivelige menneskene som jobber på VilVite i 50 timer, så da er det på tide med en oppdatering på hva jeg har drevet med! Først og fremst så har jeg blitt kjent med utstillingen på ny, da det er […]

Oppkutting av 200 hjerter og radioaktive stoffer, med mer!

Hei igjen, Praksisen min i Bymiljøetaten fortsetter til tross for COVID-19 utbruddet. Dette er noe jeg setter veldig pris på, selv om det blir litt andre typer oppgaver og noen planlagte aktiviteter utgår. Etter det ble inført restriksjoner i mars endret arbeidssituasjonen seg for Bymiljøetaten, da alle måtte gå over […]

Hei dere, Da var det på tide med et nytt innlegg. Som alle vet er det en slags lockdown som har ført til at campus er stengt for studentene, så nå har jeg tenkt å fortelle litt om hvordan det har vært å ha praksis under lockdown. Rett før så […]

Hvordan fungerer praksis under lockdown?

a. What were your goals for the course in Peru? To what extent did you realise these goals? My goals were quite specific: gain experience in planning, collecting and curating trait and ecosystem function data and; meet other like-minded scientists in the field of trait ecology to build an international […]

Da var det på tide for mitt andre innlegg her på praksisbloggen. Jeg er nå komt godt i gang med arbeidet sammen med Sara som er jeg er i praksis sammen med her i NINA. Vår aller første oppgave var å transkribere data fra felt inn i excel. Dette var […]

Første uker med labarbeid

This PFTC5 course was a wonderful experience at strange times. Thanks a bunch to all who were involved! I am super happy to have met everybody and made new friends. My primary goals coming into this course were to improve my knowledge about remote sensing and meet new people and […]

What were your goals for this course in Peru and to what extent did you realize these goals? My first goal for this course was to learn more about plant functional traits. Specifically I was interested in learning methods, the gaps in literature, and how my PhD project fits within […]

It was four days after the end of the pre-course that I packed my bags, ready for the actual in-person Plant functional Trait Course (PFTC) in Peru. I had a lot of expectations – both science and non-science related. In as much as I looked forward to exploring the forest […]

Of course, it is impossible to think back on the course without seeing it in the context of the pandemic. I was fortunate to have made it out of the country with the Oxford contingent before the borders closed, and I am especially grateful to the PFTC leadership for how […]

Hei! Jeg har foreløpig kun vært hos Havforskningsinstituttet i Bergen én gang, men på den dagen pluss erfaringen jeg fikk i løpet av toktet jeg har fått være med på (innlegg om det kommer også) tenkte jeg å fortelle om innsamlingen av data om livshistorietrekkene til havmus. Havmus (Bilde fra […]

Livshistorietrekk hos havmus

Blog post 2/4 I have now spent 100 hours working on the project, and I must admit that its been frustrating at times. In February, around the same time as the seminar, proved to be particularly challenging. The hours spent cursing at PubMed’s finicky MESH-terms , gradually turned more light-hearted. […]

Finally figuring out stuff :)

I’m so happy for having had the opportunity of participating in the PFTC5. It was very interesting to learn about traits and how to measure them. The course combined different ways of doing science, as taking online lectures, discussing papers, giving oral presentations, writing proposals and analyzing data. Discovering Wayqecha […]

What were your goals for the course and did you realise them? I definitely realised some of my goals. I connected and collaborated with researchers from around the world, and felt inspired by their work and the possibilities of working together.

Da er vi godt ute i april og jeg har fått jobbet en del timer hos Bymiljøetaten. Her er jeg en del av Naturforvaltningsseksjonen, som er en av flere seksjoner i Bymiljøetaten. Så langt har jeg fått et innblikk i det svært varierte arbeidet denne seksjonen gjør. Som en del […]

Hva skjer i Naturforvaltningsseksjonen?

In entering this course, I had set goals to understand how to organize and conduct an efficient and successful field campaign, to learn about the natural history and ecology of alpine grasslands, and to walk away with a high-quality scientific product. In some ways I was successful in meeting these […]

Da var vi endelig i gang med arbeidet hos NINA! Det ble få men hektiske uker på arbeid før pandemien brøt ut, da vi fikk tatt del i to veldig spennende prosjekter. I prosjektene SeedClim og INCLINE undersøkes effekter av klima og biotiske interaksjoner, samt hvilke endringer disse faktorene har […]
