MAMA MAMASEN

Social media and public health is a diverse field, and there is always some new corner to explore! These days I am increasing my knowledge on the use of social media for disaster management and coordination. The reason for this is that I next week will be giving a lecture on the topic to students […]

On my list of things to do writing a blog post about my experiences with teaching Public Health Science Communication to graduate students at the University of Copenhagen has been high-up for a while. However, moving to Bonn, Germany and other minor things have somehow managed to overrule the writing of this post. But its […]

Det første der slog mig, var den allestedsnærværende kontrast mellem de bløde, organiske materialer og de mange elektroniske apparater og skærmes mekaniske, firkante tilstedeværelse.

Some new years bring with them just a change of numbers – other new years bring bigger changes. 2013 seems to be of the later categories. At least if you consider moving to a different country a change. Starting from later this January, I will exchange my Copenhagen address for an address in Bonn, Germany. […]

I can’t believe that this is my post number 101. Actually, I had planned to do something special with blog post no. 100, but I only realised that it was my anniversary post when it was published. So the celebration will have to wait for post number 500. However, post number 101 can also be […]

All students passed! Not only are the students who took the graduate class in Public Health Science Communication this fall semester probably relieved – so is the teacher! The exam was perhaps a test of the students knowledge but just as much was it test of how well they were taught. It has been fun […]

At Medical Museion we’re currently working on the project From Kitchen Sink to Museum: Doing and Debating Synthetic Biology, in collaboration with biohackers from the Copenhagen ‘maker space’ Labitat. We have invited the biohackers to use the museum space as their space – as a laboratory where workshops and events will take place, thereby communicating […]

I can’t think of a more appropriate place than Twitter to come across an article about the use of social media to disseminate public health information. I regularly do a Twitter search for ‘public health social media’ and very often come across new interesting initiatives, reports, meetings etc. Today’s finding was the article Putting the Public […]

Wow, I can’t believe time has passed so quickly. Next to me is a pile of exam papers completed by the students of the graduate course in Public Health Science Communication at the University of Copenhagen. I feel like I just had the first introduction module, but yet I am almost done reading all these papers. Until […]

In October 2012 Medical Museion opened the new exhibition ‘Obesity – what’s the problem’. After a long period of development and production the exhibition is now finally being used by a real live audience, and we – the exhibition team – are being confronted with their reactions. One of the more surprising ones being the […]
