53- Dr Jonna Kulmuni- Creating nurturing research environments

Jonna Kulmuni’s love of nature began at an early age but biology wasn’t her strongest subject. The challenge was what drove her to pursue a biological career and she fell in love with ants during her Masters degree, where she worked with a very supportive group and continued on to a PhD. At the same time, she completed a Masters in Science Communication – an invaluable experience, which has supported her career ever since and seen her become increasingly engaged in public outreach. She came to Sheffield in 2014 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and is always thinking ahead about the next opportunity to apply for funding.Jonna is now a Principal Investigator at the University of Helsinski.https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/jonna-kulmuniView her timeline:https://academicstories.group.shef.ac.uk/jonna-kulmuni/
