About the speaker - Anders Wallensten
In the early 2000's, Anders worked as a doctor in Kalmar and became aware of a research project on flu in ducks.
After studying viruses in wild ducks at the Ottenby bird station on Öland's southern tip, he defended a thesis on influenza viruses in wild birds at Linköping Universitet in 2006, which was the first Swedish thesis on avian influenza.
Wallensten believes that this marked his future career as he had to help Socialstyrelsen with contingency plans for infections between animals and humans and thus came into contact with epidemiology.
In 2007–2009 he worked at the Health Protection Agency in Stonehouse, England. He has worked at Smittskyddsinstituet before becoming assistant state epidemiologist at Folkhälsomyndigheten, where he continues to work with the 2020-2021 coronavirus outbreak in Sweden, which started in Wuhan, China, in 2019. In connection with this, Wallensten became a very public figure and appeared extensively in media.
In July, the doctor, epidemiologist and author Anders Wallensten's new book "Livsgåtan" was, finally, published.
The Fall seminar's lecture is related to the book! "Can we influence our happiness and how satisfied we are with life in general?"
