Oscar Fock
I’m a New York-based freelance journalist from Sweden. I write about the environment, how climate change impacts us humans, and how we are responding.
In the past, I have also written about education and dinosaurs. My work has been featured in The Architect’s Newspaper, The Red Hook Star-Revue, Brooklyn Paper, Port Washington Times, and Scandinavian popular science magazine Science Illustrated.
