Last week, I wrote how several scientific journals and publishers are opening their eyes to Twitter. The confirmation of the relevance on Twitter also in relation to peer-reviewed journals comes in many different forms. This weekend, I came across a tweet giving another example : If you click on the link in the tweet (or […]

Once again, Twitter uncovered for me a small treasure box on the web. By following a link in a tweet I found a box full of stories of how social media and medicine and public health can benefit from each other. The treasure box is part of the NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine) 200 […]

Social media is a gift to science communication. I am quite convinced about that. But is it particularly relevant for Public Health Science Communication? As many of the blog posts on this blog illustrates there is huge value and potential in using social media for public health science communication. And not only to disseminate research, […]

Sometimes it just seems silly to duplicate other people’s words when they have used just the right phrases and words to say something. The blog post “How to use Twitter” by PhD student in Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Aberdeen, Heather Doran gave me a little bit of that feeling. By sharing her own experiences, Heather writes […]

I forbindelse med Medicinsk Museions kommende udstilling, hvor der bl.a. vil blive kastet et blik på fedmekirurgien, planlægger vi at udstille eksempler på det apparatur man historisk set har benyttet i forbindelse med kirurgiske operationer: Anæstesiapparater, respiratorer og en hjerte-lunge maskine. Disse apparater vil blive placeret i en udstillingsinstallation der retter fokus mod kirurgiens maskinelle […]

So, your article has been accepted and is now published in a peer-reviewed journal. Great! Now the world gets to know of all your findings and hard work. Or will it? What if no one reads it? You can of course let your colleagues know that your article is out, have the communication department do […]

How do you persuade good old fashion researchers that social media has something to offer them too? You know, the kind who prefer having their papers published in the Lancet, British Medical Journal and Nature. The ones who like giving key-note speeches at prestigious conferences or at least an oral presentation of an abstract. And […]

Judging from the number of courses, guidelines etc. on the use of social media in health care, Denmark is now also becoming aware that there is something to it. The Danish Medical Association just published an advisory guide to their members on how to deal with social media, and Dagens Medicin, a Danish newspaper for […]

At dømme ud fra antallet af kurser og vejledninger om brugen af ​​sociale medier i sundhedsvæsenet, er Danmark nu ved at blive opmærksomme på, at sociale medier også her har et potentiale. Lægeforeningen har netop udgivet en rådgivende vejledning til deres medlemmer om, hvordan man håndterer sociale medier, og Dagens Medicin udbyder i maj måned […]

Social media and peer-reviewed journals. Some people would regard these two separate worlds. Perhaps they were once upon a time, but times change and more and more journals are embracing and exploring new uses and are expanding their traditional journal universe with blogs, Twitter accounts etc. An editorial retreat in The British Medical Journal focusing on […]

I fredags var jeg til symposium om web-tv og museumsformidling i Emdrup sammen med en hel del andre video-nysgerrige museumsfolk. Der var inviteret fine folk fra Tate og MoMA, der hver  især holdt oplæg om hvordan de havde taget deres første spæde skridt ind på videomediets røde løber (for flere år siden). Efter pausen kom […]

Disagreement, throwing back and forth of arguments is good news stuff – in television, newspapers, radio etc. But also on blogs can it be fun to follow – and actually blogs are a perfect medium for this, due to the interactive premises of the blog, with linking, comments function and the ability to share blog […]
