Bio
I was born in Åhus Sweden 1956. After some early years moving to Sölvesborg then to Norrköping ended up in Ronneby Sweden 1959. My father was originally educated as an electrician but joined the military to learn electronics which was a new area then. After having done the compulsory service time to "pay" for his education at the air force in Norrköping he got a job as a teacher in the new area of "Home Electronics" to teach talented people that lost their jobs a new trade as repairmen of television sets and all the new electronic equipment turning up in homes. I started primary school in Ronneby but after a year we moved to Kallinge another commune close to Ronneby (10 Km away). We had a nice house built for us in Kallinge. The "wild nature" starts just outside the garden and I spent most of my free time when young in the forest. Maybe that is why I can still notice things in nature many of my peers do not notice? In Sweden, at that time it was compulsory for everyone to have what was called the to go for something that is job market orientation by organizing a stay at a workplace to try some work that could be of interest for the future. My strongest interest was in biology, physics, chemistry, and maths so I did not want to be suggested by the school to go to some shop or something. I wanted an interesting place where I could maybe later work during the summer to also earn some money. The local largest industry Kockum had a steel mill making high quality steel and cast iron and they also did research at their lab. I managed to get my practice at that lab. That was my first taste of real research (chemistry and metallurgy) and the summer I turned 17 I was carrying out a special research project under the supervision of the head of the lab. It was a basically metallurgy, including microscopy and chemistry. It really got me to decide that research was something for my future since my boss also let me plan the research and suggest what I should do and why. It was not until after Highschool and a small research project into the effect of pollution on lichens and some years collecting and studying butterflies in my free time I realized that biology is more interesting than chemistry although chemistry and physics and maths are also interesting. After High-school and 1-year of compulsory military service as a communication specialist (telephone, radio, and more) I started Chemistry at Lund University Sweden to get a good foundation to build by future Biology studies. I was equally interested in theoretical physics but the possibilities to get a job in that outside teaching I thought was very limited (My very good High-school teacher in physics was a former Docent (post-doctoral researcher) that had to go to high school to get a job when funds drained out. Ths my aim was to get a Bachelor's in biology with a specialty in Ecology and Chemistry so that I could maybe get a job within the environmental protection area since government and municipal jobs in that area were expanding. During my final years, I became more and more interested in basic research especially in the area of plant microorganism interactions so I decided to try to stay on and see if I could find a PhD project that allowed me to do that kind of research. I found one and I also got the possibility to finance myself as a lab-teacher in Microbiology and Microbial ecology half-time. That was perfect since teaching students is the best way to really learn deep. After the PhD is was "hooked" on research it was both frighteningly insequre but also incredibly fun and rewarding even if not in money. Thus I manage to get a some postdoc grants to first go to Great Britain to work with a very famous professor in working with fungal physiology (David Jennings) to work with him on nutrient translocation in fungi and also try to develop new methods for these studies. Coming home from that with a lot of new ideas I managed to get new postdoc grants and managed to get very good new results in collaboration with people working on ectotrophic mycorrhizal of trees (a postdoc Roger Finlay then working in Lund). 1995 Roger and I both applied for a vacant position as full professor on Forest Microbiology (head of department) at Swedish Agricultural University. Roger that PhD supervising experience and had been a postdoc longer and had more experience got the position in fierce competition and I was actually on 2nd place. That open evaluation I could then use when I applied for the job as professor in Copenhagen. It was also better for me to be in Copenhagen since that is at Commuting distance from Lund Sweden where I had got married 1988 had 4 sons. 2016 after having worked at University of Copenhagen and there started cell biology courses on master level and been teaching that for 15 years I had started to twist my microbial ecology more into molecular biology but still with a microbial ecology focus I decided to go to China to get better opportunities.
