Signe Normand
Signe Normand (born 26 June 1979) is a Danish biologist and educator, specializing in vegetation ecology. Since February 2014, she has been an assistant professor at Aarhus University teaching Danish flora and vegetation.[1][2][3] In March 2015, in recognition of her research on vegetation in the Arctic tundra, she received an International Rising Talent Fellowship, one of the L'Oréal-UNESCO Awards for Women in Science.[4]
Biography
Normand became interested in natural history as a child when her grandfather, a biology teacher in Esbjerg, took her for walks through the woods, fields and marshes surrounding the family summerhouse in the little seaside resort of Blåvand in south-western Jutland. She learnt the Latin names of the various plants and creatures, remembering them by creating rhymes.[1] She attended a boarding school where biology was a constant interest and, after finishing high school in Denmark, spent a year experiencing nature and outdoor life while at a folk high school in Norway.[5]
