Short presentation
I am Emerita Docent at the Museum of Evolution, Palaeontology. I have been the curator of the palaeontology collections since 1994, and Senior Researcher since 2012. I obtained my PhD in Historical Geology and Palaeontology at Uppsala Univ. in 1985, with other appointments as Collections Manager at the Swedish Geological Survey (1988-1990), Research Associate (1985-1990) and Assistant Professor at the Univ. of Stockholm (1990-1994), and Research Associate, National Museum of Wales (1992-2003).

Research
My research focuses on Cambrian molluscs, arthropods and hyolithids, as well as the history of palaeontology in Scandinavia, especially from the 17th-19th centuries.
