Hello there, I'm Nina! I joined @envpsyvienna and #cogsciunivie as a postdoc more than a year ago, so it's definitely time for me to introduce myself.

I'm interested in #riskperception, #sciencecommunication, environmental policy support and pro-environmental behavior, which I'm investigating in the scope of: #SourceToSeas and #ProjectGOLIAT. I also enjoy discovering  cities,  recipes, hiking routes, podcasts and indie movies.
