MAMA MAMASEN

Som på ethvert godt museum er der en del mysterier knyttet til genstandene, men frem for at de bliver vækket til live om natten, er der i denne sag i højere grad tale om manglende informationer og løse ender. Genstanden, der her er tale om, er en træmodel af dele af den københavnske bydel Frederiksstaden, […]

Gæsteindlæg af Silje Loa Thrysøe Jørgensen, Kunstlinjen, Konservatorskolen: På vores 3. Semester på Konservatorskolens kunstlinje, lærer vi om arkæologiske bygningsundersøgelser. Kort fortalt handler det om at undersøge en bygnings historie ved at afdække malingen lag for lag på enten væggen, døren, vinduet, karme osv. Derved kan man se hvilke farver bygningen har haft fra tiden […]

På Medicinsk Museion arbejder vi målrettet med at skabe levende og udfordrende møder med den medicinske kultur og forskningen i sygdom og sundhed. Som en central del af dette arbejde udforsker vi sammen med publikum, hvordan brugen af innovative eventformater kan gøre forskningen nærværende, relevant og inspirerende. Vores events inviterer til dialog og diskussion, skaber […]

Being a university museum, Medical Museion combines museum practice with research. But we don’t just conduct research on the specific content of our collections and exhibitions, we also engage in research projects on science communication and exhibition media. That is, research on how we interpret and communicate our objects through exhibition media, events, etc. In […]

Vores 1:20 skalamodel skal nu til at stå sin prøve, da vi er i gang med at disponere udstillingens forløb. Gennem den proces kortlægger og beskriver vi de enkelte temaer, som udstillingen består af, så udstillings-scenografien kan få fysisk form. Vi arbejder bl.a. med at bevægelsen gennem udstillingen opleves varieret og interessant – også for vores egen […]

Åbningstale ved ferniseringen af Metascent – en udstilling om menneskets duft d. 14. maj 2014. Mennesker dufter i dobbelt forstand. De dufter til og af noget. På den lille eksperimentelle udstilling Metascent, som netop er åbnet på Medicinsk Museion, kan man få lov at dufte til og dvæle ved menneskets duft i flere afskygninger. Duftsymptomer fra den […]

Public Health science communication has for the past years been my field of interest. I have studied it, I have taught it, I have networked over it. But have I actually been a user of it – like I was before I started studying it? Well, over the past nine months I actually have. At […]

In just a few weeks I’ll be teaching a class on Public Health Risk Communication, as part of the Public Health Science Communication course at University of Copenhagen. Despite the topic being big enough to cover a whole course in its own, it will with 90 minutes available only be possible to give a brief […]

I actually thought I had blogged about it before, but a search through my posts shows me that the #sm4ph Twitter chat has been neglected. So hereby making up for that. #sm4ph is a Twitter hashtag dedicated to exploring aspects of social media use and how it affects public health, including the academic field of Public Health […]

Earlier this week I had an opportunity to give a talk not on general science communication but with a zoom on social media and science communication. A field I truly feel at home in, am confident talking about and find super interesting. The talk was in Danish and given to young researchers attending a Media […]

I might worry a bit excessively before and be afraid that I won’t be able to give an interesting talk or teach students anything, but then while I’m doing it and afterwards I realize that I really enjoy it. Teaching. Its been a year now since the public health masters course in Public Health Science […]

How do you create a larger-than-life dress out of pills? This short film shows artist Susie Freeman of Pharmacopoeia doing just that. Knitting on her old industrial machine, comparing pill fabrics, and putting them on the dress base. Together with Dr. Liz Lee she has weaved a dress made of ten years of prescription pills […]
