Overview
About Me
What I do:
Working at The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters where I am project manager of the Abel Prize (Mathematical prize for scientists) and coordinating a petroleum related basic research program. I also like to be involved in effective altruism and skeptical movement, where I occasionally attend meetings.
Otherwise I do pritty normal stuff. I heng out with friends, try to exersise a couple days a week and learning new stuff.
How I work:
I'm relativly openminded/liberal, ambitious and rational. I have a general positive outlook on human nature. I am always up for a good discussion or a deep conversation. I like to think about the future, and especially how technology/science will influence it. I'm concerned with ethics and try to live in accordance with my own ethical guidelines. Would like to become a vegetarian.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to learn more about other cultures. I've traveled a lot, but haven't actually experienced the culture from within (with Morroco as a slight exception).
