In this episode of the JYU for YOU podcast, host Irfan interviews Finland’s top young physicist, Henna Kokkonen, who gained international recognition after discovering a new isotope while working on her master’s thesis. Now a successful doctoral researcher at JYU’s Nuclear Spectroscopy Group, Henna’s academic journey began with a love for sports and a curiosity about history, until a passionate physics teacher ignited her interest in physics. Despite some initial concerns, through hard work and dedication, as well as some good friends, Henna managed to find a place for herself. She credits her success to the support from her friends, family, and the Physics Department at JYU. Breaking the physicist stereotype, she balances her research with traveling, playing on a local volleyball team, Vehniän Wartti, and socializing. Henna represents the new generation of Finnish researchers, highlighted by her invitation to Linnan juhlat, Finland’s Independence Day reception organized by the President of the Republic, in December 2023.

In learning communities, learning and development happen through communities of learners as opposed to a hierarchical flow of information and learning choices. Ideally, learning communities empower members to discuss and analyse professional successes and challenges, and present to the world with stories of sustainable living, education, and development. In this 37-minute podcast episode, the concept of sustainability and its connections to learning communities are being reflected on by Heidi Layne, Shruti Taneja and Romana Shaikh. Heidi is a senior lecturer of sustainable and global education with the faculty of education and psychology at the university of Jyväskylä in Finland. Shruti is the founding member of EarthJust Ecosystems and Co.labx in India. Romana is the Co-Founder and Chief Program Officer of Kizazi, an organization that enables breakthrough schools. The three met each other through the Global Innovation Network for Teaching and Learning (GINTL), which is an initiative of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture, together with 21 Finnish higher education institutions and their partners in India, China, and the African continent. The podcast was produced by University of Jyväskylä Faculty of Education and Psychology.
