As a botanist / bryologist by training (PhD) I have a long-term engagement in bryophyte conservation. At present I am employed as Senior scientist at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (NRM), department of Botany. Previously, I held different positions both as a researcher and as a research manager,. Since my Master thesis, I have actively conducted research, although the time devoted to it varied over the years. My research is organism- and collection based and focuses on bryophytelife history traits and changes in bryophyte diversity and their drivers. I have established, and maintain, an extensive network among scientists, conservationists, funding agencies and research and collection organisations. During my career, I have also worked and work with many aspects of natural history collections, both practically and at the management and strategic level.
