“I want to express my gratitude to the LFP programme and my managers in particular. The kind support I have received during these 24 months has been fundamental to the success of PYROPLANKTON in a particularly complex period at home regarding the work-family balance.

After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Joan was a tenure track researcher on aerosol-ocean interactions.
