Reference excerpt

Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir is an Icelandic farmer responsible for saving the Icelandic goat through breeding them at her farm, Háafell in Borgarbyggð, Iceland.

Career Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir runs the Háafell farm in Borgarbyggð, Iceland. Prior to running the farm, she was a nurse, although it had been her family's farm for three generations. Jóhanna has raised six children on the farm. Since 2000, she has been breeding the Icelandic goat in an effort to save it from extinction. Through her work, the farm has also become known as the Icelandic Goat Conservation Center, and is the only goat breeding farm in Iceland. To fund the ongoing work, she organised a crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter in 2012 in order to expand the facilities available at the farm. Jóhanna provided 20 goats to the production of the Game of Thrones fourth season episode "The Laws of Gods and Men". Over time, Jóhanna has created a market for goat products within Iceland. In 2014, the farm was threatened with foreclosure. In response, Jóhanna organised a further campaign, this time on IndieGoGo, to raise the 10 million Icelandic krona needed to keep the farm open. By the time of the campaign, the numbers of the Icelandic goat had increased from 90 to around 820, with half located on Jóhanna's farm. If the funding was not found, it would have resulted in the goats being slaughtered. After the success of the campaign, Jóhanna has looked to making the farm self sufficient by producing her own goat cheese year round.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir

In research: Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century farmers, 21st-century women farmers, Icelandic farmers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jóhanna Bergmann Þorvaldsdóttir outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
