In my research on the use of social media in emergency management and communication and my hunt for good case studies, I have come across a knowledge hub, that I thought I’d share with you. I was of course introduced to it by wonderful people on Twitter (thank you Eva Alisic). The website is called The Australian Emergency […]

Sometimes opportunities presents themselves out of the blue. When I was asked to give a lecture on social media in emergency settings at the Master of Disaster Management at University of Copenhagen, I didn’t quite feel like an expert on the topic (as I wrote about in an earlier post). But it did not take much […]

I et rum med hvide vægge og trægulve plettet af sol hænger den dansk-britiske kunstner Andrea Jespersens værker og spejler museets inderside. Inspireret af det gamle anatomiske teater, samt forskellige genstande fra samlingerne, har kunstneren skabt en række fotografier, tegninger og skulpturer, der lige nu kan ses på Medicinsk Museion. I videoen til højre kan […]

In the spirit of this weekend’s workshop It’s Not What You Think in Copenhagen, I am posting a few observations from my visit to the Medical Museion last April. The trip originated from a discussion about a contemporary museum for the blind in Kaunus, Lithuania and what we (the sighted) could learn from an institution that […]

Have an interest STS and/or digital methods? Curious as to what they are and what the fuss is all about? Want to explore Copenhagen by foot? Enjoy beer? If you answered yes to any of these, then come and take part in the digital methods ‘talk-walk’ on the 8th of March. The idea comes from […]

Sidste søndag var jeg til Open Lab her på museet med Martin Malthe Borch og Rüdiger Trojok, der begge er blevet biohackere, fordi de ville have mere frihed til at eksperimentere og være kreative i deres biologiforsøg og eksperimenter. Mens Malthe diskuterede demokratisering af det genetiske ansvar med tre gestikulerende gæster, instruerede Rüdiger mig i, […]

                  Medicinsk Museions samlinger spænder meget vidt, og indeholder genstande inden for alle materialegrupper. Samlingsleder og konservator Ion Meyer har gjort meget ud af, at vi som konservatorpraktikanter på Museion får prøvet, at arbejde med en bred vifte af de materialer, man som færdiguddannet kulturhistorisk konservator kommer til at […]

Der foregår så mange ting her på museet omkring formidling af medicinens historie, dens nutidige praksis og fremtidige muligheder, at det kan være svært at nå forbi Bredgade og opleve det hele. Heldigvis fungerer det uendelige internet som digitalt arkiv for nogle af de events, udstillinger og forelæsninger du er gået glip af. For eksempel […]
