Inga Beck, PhD

What’s the work that you do?

I did my PhD in Arctic permafrost, but I am now more involved in environmental and polar education and communication (knowledge transfer). In my current position I am responsible for all kinds of science communication to politicians, scientists and the public (of all ages).

What keeps you going?

I like being in nature and work for the most important thing on earth: our environment. For me it is essential to convince everybody that our world is the best we have, and that we have to save it. When I see that I convince people – especially kids – that makes me very happy.

What’s your message to the world?

Environmental changes already deeply affect us and will continue to affect those who come after us. It is up to us to make sure we leave the world a better place than we found it.
