Get ready for an episode all about fieldwork!
The guest of today’s episode is Floreana Miesen who is a field technician at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Floreana came in contact with fieldwork at the beginning of her studies, and it excited her from the start. After participating in field campaigns in Svalbard and in the Andes, she decided to make her passion her profession. By now, she organises complete field campaigns and manages all the details from scientific issues and sample transport to security and the little things in everyday life, such as a toilet. She tells us how the organization of a camp works, what are the nice sides of her job and what situations can be tough in her job.
