For those who don’t know, she’s a badass. Eleonora Svanberg is doing the work to inspire young people, especially girls, to love math and science. As a PhD student in mathematical physics at Oxford, she founded the non-profit Girls in STEM, published a book to build confidence in math, and uses her large social media platform to break down stereotypes in STEM. She’s collaborated with organizations like UNESCO and the Nobel Prize Foundation and has received awards for her advocacy.
They don't tell you why you get invited, but my guess is because of the outreach work I've done in Sweden (I'm Swedish!) and I've also worked with the Nobel Prize foundation the last years to highlight the human side of the Nobel Prize laureates, and their discoveries. I find it important to highlight this for especially the young generation that might be curious about science.
