- William, is it fun to study at the University Hospital?
- Yeah, the people there got sick humor.

Michelle Nilsson

Michelle is originally from Kiruna all the way up in the north of Sweden. She is currently studying her bachelors in medical biology at the faculty of medicine and health sciences at Linköping University. During the project she will be participating in the laboratory work and different projects regarding policy and practice amongst other things. Michelle is keen on moving the project forward and hopes that this year’s team will be able to add a piece in the puzzle of biodiesel research.

- Michelle, what do you think is best about southern Sweden?
- The best part is that it does not snow in June.

Patrik Sletmo

Patrik is originally from Stockholm and studies his bachelor in computer engineering at Linköping Institute of Technology.
