Public speaking: Conference talks and posters
Public speaking: Conference talks and posters
I have presented my research 40+ times on some of the most important national and international conferences in the field.
I talked about body odors, disease avoidance and prejudice at:
smell conferences such as the meetings of the European Chemoreception Research Organization (ECRO) and of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS)
psychoneuroimmunology conferences such as PsychoNeuroImmunology Research Society (PNIRS) meetings
psychology conferences e.g., Association for Psychological Science (APS) annual meetings
I talked about olfaction and other topics (including working memory and attention)
neuroscience conferences such as annual meetings of the Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), andthe Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS)

My research received some international and national media attention. I actively try to reach the broader audience by giving popular science talks or participating in podcasts, which are later available freely online.
Have a look at these examples!

An interesting episode of Swedish Radio's 'Body and soul' program, to which I made a small contribution.
Prejudice, the sense of smell and identity
Prejudice, the sense of smell and identity
I had the pleasure of talkinh about my research in Stressforsknings podden (Stress research pod). Swedish speakers should listen also the eye-opening interview with Lindy Larsson at the begining of the episode.
