I spent one academic year at the Alkio College in Korpilahti (nowadays part of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4) where I took Open University courses on biology. I entered the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 in 2004 to study biology, majoring in evolutionary genetics. I spent the 2008 spring semester as an exchange student at the University of \u00c5rhus in Denmark and graduated as an MSc from the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 in 2009. I began my PhD at the University of Turku in 2010 and completed my doctoral degree in spring 2016. Since that I&#8217;ve been working as a postdoctoral researcher in Turku, Tartu (Estonia) and Bristol (the UK).<\/p>\n<p>In my\u00a0spare time I do Irish dancing. It is\u00a0challenging and fun. I also go running. It is less\u00a0challenging and less fun, but somehow I still enjoy it. \u00a0I also like to watch sports, and I was a volunteer\u00a0during the 2005 athletics World Championships in Helsinki in the ECOmass environment program, assisting\u00a0athletes in sorting their waste. My\u00a0usual summer holiday destination is Kuortane, where like to I\u00a0collect berries.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-112 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/tekahon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/598\/2018\/06\/mustikat-leikattu-e1529523140874-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/tekahon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/598\/2018\/06\/mustikat-leikattu-e1529523140874-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/tekahon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/598\/2018\/06\/mustikat-leikattu-e1529523140874-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/tekahon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/598\/2018\/06\/mustikat-leikattu-e1529523140874-1024x556.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/tekahon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/598\/2018\/06\/mustikat-leikattu-e1529523140874-1200x651.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bilberries, ah!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was born and raised in Kuortane, Southern Osthrobothnia, where I also completed my matriculation examination in 2003.
