Ronny Kjelsberg
Background and activities
Deputy head of Science Education Research section. Cand.scient. in astro-partcle physics from NTNU in 2003. In addition I have experience in several elected positions including 5 years as chief union representative at the former Sør-Trøndelag University College, and 8 years as party group leader in Sør-Trøndelag County Council, whic naturally has included the need to familiarize myself with som social science as well.
Professionally I have had the opportunity to widen my interests out from pure physics-subjects to questions like:
- Scientific method (including science vs. pseudoscience)
- Questions regarding technology and society
- Science policy
And questions where these subjects intersect.
Now also working with physics as Bildung.
