Anneleen Kool

I am a botanist with a strong background and interest in higher education. My research focusses on ethnobotany, archaeobotany and plant systematics and I am especially interested in human influences on biodiversity. One of my main projects focusses on plant use in Viking Age Scandinavia. In my research, I try to dissolve the boundaries between research, outreach and higher education by actively involving students and the general public in the research itself. In addition, I am a curator in the Botanical Garden and I coordinate NHMs MSc specialization in Biodiversity and Systematics.
