Societal impact of research | HiLIFE series Ep5 w/ Marjo Saastamoinen & Kirsi Mikkonen The Science Basement Podcast

While being captivated by the constant chase for publications, researchers should not neglect other aspects of their work. Every project is driven by a noble goal to improve lives and futures of people. It is not uncommon for research to translate beyond the lab bench applications. It also possesses the power to influence policymakers.

To unwrap this topic, we invited two guests. Marjo Saastamoinen is an associate professor, Helsinki Institute of Life Science HiLIFE. And Kirsi Mikkonen is a Professor at the Department of Food and Nutrition, Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science.
