Welcome - tervetuloa

I do research in social sciences at Research Department of The Social Insurance Institution of Finland in Helsinki, Finland. Interested in poverty, social security, Russia and Eastern Europe and in open source research software carpentry. Should blog more often.

Tutkin yhteiskuntaa Kelassa. Tutkin köyhyyttä, sosiaaliturvaa, Venäjää ja Itä-Eurooppaa, sekä nikkaroin avoimia tutkimusohjelmistoja. Blogi päivittyy harvakseltaan.
