Get to know Patrick
What are you working on right now?
I am currently conducting a literature search for population studies on paternalistic attitudes to children and youth.
Can you describe your office space?
Post-it notes. Post-it notes everywhere.
Where are you best able to think?
The right amount of background noise is key for me. So either at a crowded café or at the library wearing headphones.
What’s on your nightstand?
Usually about five different books of different genres that I am all in the middle of reading.
Is there a TV-show you are binging?
Currently a lot of political series like the West Wing, Makta and Borgen.
And a place you’ve been where you’d like to go back?
Laos has to be high on the list of places I would like to return to. Welcoming people, beautiful nature and great food.
