MAMA MAMASEN

Når vi hører eller læser om videnskab i dag er det oftest forklaringer og resultater, vi bliver præsenteret for. Vi kommer kun i kontakt med de videnskabelige højdepunkter: Vi møder altid Videnskaben med stort V og i galakjole. I mine videoer fokuserer jeg på videnskabens hverdag: Ikke på ord og resultater, men på oplevelser og […]

When meeting with science today, we are most often confronted with words and results. We are presented only with the highlights: We only ever meet science in her gala dress. In these videos I focus on the everyday life of science: Not the words and the results, but the experiences and the processes. These 5 very short films […]

My idea for organizing the Sensuous Object workshop began over a year ago. It originated with my interest in (re) placing the object as central and focusing on the sensuous object, i.e. how we sense objects, come to know them, are affected by them and their presence, how objects can become outcomes of research, how […]

A few months ago, the meaning of this: #hcsm, #hcsmeu of #hcsmca would have been the greatest mystery to me. I now know of course that they are hashtags(#) for Twitter discussions on topics under the umbrella of health care and social media. The concept is similar to that of the Twitter Journal Clubs. Once […]

To those of you who have been reading my posts about the Live-tweet brain surgery, which was performed at the Regional Epilepsy Center at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center (Aurora Health Care) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I myself have been wondering how the patient is doing and what experience came out of the whole Twitter event. […]

My general practitioner might just have visitied Wikipedia when he did a Google search on some health topic he came across and needed more information on. A surprise? Well, no not really. I myself use it both outside my professional life and in my public health research life, so why shouldn’t my doctor. However, it […]

I just thought I’d share with you a short follow-up to my previous post about a Wikipedia training session at McMaster University’s Faculty of Health Sciences. In an article in the online local newspaper TheSpec.com the session, which approximately 30 people attended, is mentioned. There are some interesting statistics and an insight into how one can […]

Taking up the thread from last weeks post about providing training in Wikipedia at the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University I came across this post on 6 Best Practices for Universities embracing Social Media. Here Dan Klamm from the New York based Syracuse University lists six best practices, Universities should learn from when embracing social […]

There really does seem to be something about Canada + public health + social media. Constantly do I come across initiatives, programmes and conferences from Canadian universities that are exploring the use of social media in health research and communication. My latest discovery comes from the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University in Ontario. […]

In a recent edition of the Journal of Health Communication the main theme was Web 2.0 and Health Communication. Among the articles was one that particular caught my attention: Dissemination 2.0: Closing the Gap Between Knowledge and Practice With New Media and Marketing. (Link to abstract on pubmed). It is in no way a revolutionary […]

Just a few months ago, I was as sceptical to Twitter as I experience that many of my friends and fellow public health colleagues are. But as might have become apparent from this blog, my opinion on Twitter has changed and I now gladly follow live-tweeted surgery, I have been tweeting at conferences and used […]
