Jeg er lektor og min stilling kombinerer forskning, museumsarbejde og undervisning.
Mine forskningsprojekter fokuserer på grænsefladen mellem fysik og medicin og jeg udvikler projekter om medicinsk imaging og om automatisering. Derudover er jeg interesseret i at sammenkæde museer, videnskabsfilosofi og forskningskommunikation – materie, ånd og videnskab.
I udstillingsarbejdet forsøger jeg at navigere mellem science centrets Scylla og kuriositetskabinettets Karybdis. At kombinere specificiteten og den taktile tiltrækningskraft i genstandene med en svaghed for begreber og en kærlighed til naturvidenskaben.
Jeg er desuden ansvarlig for videnskabsteori-delen på uddannelsen i Medicin og Teknik (samarbejde mellem DTU og Københavns Universitet).

Min akademiske baggrund er interdisciplinær og kombinerer fysik, videnskabshistorie og videnskabsfilosofi: en bachelor i fysik og filosofi fra King’s College London efterfulgt af en m.phil., en ph.d. og et Junior Research Fellowship ved Institut for Videnskabshistorie og Videnskabsfilosofi på University of Cambridge, hvor jeg stadig er tilknyttet som forsker.
Jeg har hovedsagelig forsket i forholdet mellem praktisk og teoretisk viden: hvordan får teknisk kunnen erkendelsesmæssig vægt? I min ph.d. viste jeg hvordan den græske tekniske forfatter Heron fra Alexandria (1. årh. e. Kr.) udfordrede matematik og filosofi som priviligerede former for viden og i stedet argumenterede at retfærdighed, sindsro og beviser kunne åbnes bedre gennem teknologi end filosofi og matematik. Jeg har siden arbejdet med Tycho Brahe, Ole Rømer og præcisionsmåling af stjerner i det 20. århundrede.

Min museumserfaring er som en gammeldags hoteluddannelse. Jeg har lavet alt fra bund til top inden for udstilling, samlingsadministration og museumsorganisation. Jeg har tidligere været ansat som Enhedsleder for Astronomi på Kroppedal Museum og som Overinspektør for Etnografisk Samling og Danmarks Nyere Tid på Nationalmuseet.

3-year Postdoc in Science Studies – Diagnosis

We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow with a background in philosophy of science, science studies or history of science, for a project investigating diagnostic categories at the fault line between patient bodies, research labs and the clinic.

Biobank

On togas, lab coats and open science in the academy

And although the biohacking lab has gone we want to keep in mind the lessons with regard to the importance of craft and openness in science. Here’re some words from the opening on togas, lab coats and open science in the academy:

Exhibiting Epistemic Objects

Many of the objects held by museums of science and medicine are significant because they have been used in the production of knowledge and scientific enquiry. This blog post discusses how we might display such objects in ways that draw on their potential to generate scientific knowledge as well as their cultural history and materiality. […]

From Pathological Collections to Biobanks: Medicine as a Collection Science

When creating the concept for the exhibition The Body Collected, I investigated the use of human tissue in medicine from 19th century pathological museums to today’s biobanks containing small samples of frozen tissue. On the surface the museum and the biobank are very different kinds of places. But on closer inspection? We are easily led […]

Scale in Medicine as an Exhibition Principle

The exhibition The Body Collected  displays the heart blood of the medical museum – the anatomical and pathological specimens – as part of a longer history on the uses of human material in medicine leading up the biopsies and blood samples in biobanks. The main exhibition principle is simple, instantly graspable and captures essential features of […]

DIY microscopy: A hack for Medical Museion

  What is “hacking”? A way to customize one’s surroundings by readily available means.  At a recent workshop on biohacking organized by Labitat in collaboration with Medical Museion I tried a very fine hack – a web cam customized for communicating microbiology. The hack is based on an ordinary cheap web cam. With a small screw […]

Social Studies of Hacker Culture at Labitat

Our collaborators at the biohacker space in Copenhagen, BiologiGaragen@Labitat are hosting a networking event bringing together biohackers, sociologists of science, scientists, science communicators and science policy makers. The event promises to provide an exciting maker-space, not just for lab set-ups, but also for forging connections and encouraging debate about the ways and means of making […]

Don’t fake it, make it: Visit to Labitat

Earlier this week Louise Whiteley and I visited Labitat preparing for a project that aims to combine synthetic biology, design, democracy and the museum – easy, when you are (getting to) know the right people … “Labitat is a makerspace in CPH. We are a group of people with diverse interests in technology. We are […]

The Trickster Museum

The trickster is clever and mischievous, crafty and artful, charming and entertaining. He or she lives outside established hierarchies, crosses boundaries and brings objects from one realm to the other. This character sprang to mind as we were discussing the identity of Medical Museion. What should the role be for museums in general and how […]

Curating a Nuclear Egg: Roland Wittje at the MUSE seminar

Roland Wittje participated in the Medical Museion MUSE seminar with a paper born out of his annoyance at an observed change in the role of the curator. He described winds of change in the museum world. A change away from the traditional curator with close and specific knowledge of the objects and collections in their […]

The MUSE Seminars

Medical Museion has launched a new seminar series: The MUSE seminars. The idea of the seminars is to explore questions in science communication and museum practices especially where they relate to modern biomedicine. We define science communication very broadly and speakers will come from a range of backgrounds including history of science, science communication, medical […]
