About me[edit]

I'm Femke (pron: FEM-kuh, listen), a lecturer in innovation, energy and climate at the University of Exeter who dabbles in complexity economics (university profile). My work focuses on the power sector, and specifically the role of solar power and storage. Before, I did a PhD on climate change.

Accurate and neutral information about climate change or other contentious topics can help us make informed decisions and make the topic less polarised. Also, people are wrong on the internet. I'm passionate about making Wikipedia articles easier to understand, as us experts like to correct people that are wrong on the internet with fancy words.

I support User:TatjanaBaleta, who works as a Wikimedia Visiting Fellow at the University of Exeter, as part of my job. I will generally not edit directly for this project, but will be organising a edit-a-thon as part of the module I teach, and may improve edits from students.

I live with two zebra finches and a human.

Editing interests[edit]

I started editing on the Dutch Wikipedia in 2013, mostly articles on physics, climate change and women in science (User page). Around 2018 I became active here, working on climate change and energy articles. As a picture can say more than a thousand words, I've dedicated some time to improving climate change graphs. I started an cross-language effort get climate denial removed after a BBC journalist found widespread misinformation.

Outside of climate / energy, I work on multi-system illnesses such as long COVID, after I became ill with the condition myself. You can sometimes also find me at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions or closing reviews at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment.
