New team member: Dr. Mirjam Jenny

Dr. Mirjam Jenny joined the department of health communication at the University of Erfurt at the beginning of this year. Born in Switzerland, she is a psychologist, cognitive decision scientist, recognized expert for science communication and will serve as Head of Science2Society in the future.

Before joining the department of Health Communication at the University of Erfurt Mirjam Jenny worked at the Robert Koch Institute. She consults for the World Health Organization (WHO), the Allianz Klimawandel und Gesundheit (KLUG), and the European Council. Her work focusses on human behavior in the context of global and planetary health as well as science, risk and crisis communication. 

My goal is to empower individuals and organizations to make evidence–informed, risk savvy, and sustainable decisions in our globalized and increasingly digitalized world. I work with citizens, journalists, research organizations, funders, government organizations, private and public stakeholders, and policy makers.
