Slush 2017 Skolar Award Science Pitching

Hi guys!

I am very happy to say to that I am on of the ten finalists for the Skolar Award Science Pitching competition happening at Slush 2017 tomorrow! This means that I have amazing change to pitch my research idea in front of 2 000 people for three minutes! I will give everything I got!



Here’s my research idea in a nutshell:
As everyone should realize by now, climate change is one of the biggest threats to humanity. The main culprits are atmospheric greenhouse gases, GHGs, that increase the global temperature. This research aims to identify the main man-made areas of greenhouse gases with the help of space-based observations. Those offer a sustainable and cost-efficient tool to estimate the impact of human activities on our environment.
You can meet the finalist at http://www.slush.org/news/meet-science-pitching-2017-finalists/ and https://skolaraward.fi/finalists/



Yesterday morning I was in the Yle morning show talking about my idea. The interview went really well, and you can watch it from Yle Areena: https://areena.yle.fi/1-4299989



Yesterday evening we had The Skolar Award Premiere at the Kaskas Media HQ. Now I should be ready!



See You at Slush Central stage tomorrow at 13:10 Finnish time. You can follow the event online at http://www.slush.org/live/#central-stage

Crazy!
