Anna Sjöström Douagi possesses expertise in science, scientific writing, science communication, cell biology, international relations and 20 more skills. She is proficient in Tunisiska, French, Engelska and Danish. Colleagues describe her as "Anna has an outstanding and unique ability to inspire and to get things done. I had the privilege to work together with her for five years in the Young Academy of Sweden (and several joint ventures since). Anna's energy, enthusiasm, persistence, skills, experience, leadership and knowledge was absolutely instrumental in creating the Academy from scratch and quickly establishing it as a central player in Swedish academia. Whatever task she takes on, she completes and the result always exceeds even the highest expectations. She impresses equally in national and international settings. I have learnt so much from working together with Anna, have had tremendous fun along the way and enthusiastically endorse her." and "Anna and I have known each other since she became the Director of the new Young Academy of Sweden. In 2014, we organised jointly a high level meeting on Sweden's research policy featuring executives from the leading research actors and the newly appointed Minister for higher education and research. It was a very successful event and this was to a large part due to Anna's excellent ideas, extensive network and executive management. Since then, Anna and I meet regularly to discuss issues of common interest and possible new collaborations in order to open up science to society and to the public at large, and to engage and involve citizens in research. Anna is to me a brilliant science communicator, a very strategic thinker and a dear friend."
