SU alumna Lea Stark in the final of the Swedish Researchers’ Grand Prix

You were one of the finalists at the Swedish Researchers’ Grand Prix (Forskar Grand Prix) 26 November, where you presented your research in four minutes. A challenge for you I take it, you not being a native speaker of Swedish. How was it?
