Women in science

At Skretting ARC, we have many talented scientists, and a large portion of these are female. Here, you can meet a few of them to learn what inspired them to work in science, and what this means to them. 

 

At Skretting ARC...

Anna Hesby Nessa

Meet Anna

This is Anna, Technical Manager in Skretting ARC's laboratory.

"I am responsible for the correct functioning of the laboratory's instruments and IT systems. I make sure that both work properly and give accurate results"

About her journey to become a scientist, she says: "Once when I was a teenager and had a headache, I asked my parents how medicines worked, and they couldn't give me a proper answer. I have always thought that it is fun to learn how things in nature work and are connected with each other. Therefore, I chose chemistry as a specialisation in high school. When I graduated, I decided to study pharmarcy at Tromsø University in Norway"

To children curious about science she advises: "Don't stop asking questions. Something boring can become fun once you learn more."
