Hello,
I’m a Ph.D. fellow at the department of Medical Genetics. I’m interested in sharing my research interest with the public audience. However, since my Swedish is not good, I’m wondering if I can present in English!
Thank you in advance!

In this specific case the target audience is families and children, so Swedish is required. There are however other opportunities for English speaking researchers, for example Science Slam during the Science Festival: http://www.gu.se/english/research/science-events/the-international-science-festival/science-slam-2016/?languageId=100001&disableRedirect=true&returnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gu.se%2Fforskning%2Fforskare%2FEvenemang%2Fvetenskapsfestivalen%2Fscience-slam-vetenskapsfestivalen%2F
