How long can a conference continue after it has ended? I don’t know the answer, but I know that Science Online 2012 is definitely not over yet, despite the fact that the last plenary session ended more than two weeks ago. On the Wikipage of the conference the list of blog coverage after the conference […]

Daniel and I just finished a meeting on the topic “how to plan a workshop day for our colleagues about Web Outreach”. The task was given to us by our director Thomas Söderqvist, who formulated the reason for having such a day like this: If we shall be able to convince scientists about the importance of communicating […]

Do term papers have to be written with pen and paper? No, luckily not anymore. Is it necessary to hand in a printed version of your exam paper? No, universities (at least in Denmark) now let you submit online. Would most people use programmes like Word etc for writing their assignments? Probably yes. But how […]

Tickets are now on sale at PolitikenBillet for our new evening event series, Body | Medicine | Object. Here’s the series description from the event homepage (also in Danish here): “Come to a late night consultation at Medical Museion, and get closer than ever before to objects from the unique historical collections, ranging from amputation saws to […]

Rigshospitalet henvendte sig for at høre, om vi var interesserede i at indsamle cerebrografens afløser; den Transkranielle Doppler.

As I wrote the other day, Medical Museion hosts the Graduate Programme of Medical Science and Technology Studies here at the University of Copenhagen. Now we are proud to announce a graduate course titled ‘At the Margins of Life and Death’, to be held 21-23 August 2012. The aim of the course — which is organised by associate professor […]

Having spent four days in the company of researchers, bloggers, journalists, editors, etc. at the annual ScienceOnline conference (Scio12) in Raleigh, NC, I’m now back in Copenhagen and following on up some projects regarding exactly that. Online Science. I’m trying to motivate people within my own institution, my own department, and also other departments at […]

Science Online 2012 is over, and I must admit that I’m still full of all the inputs, impressions and ideas that almost overloaded my head during those three days in North Carolina. Knowing where to start and where to end when giving highlights of the (un)conference is difficult. A blog post on my general reflections […]

Hvis man lytter med øjnene overvældes man af laboratoriets rytmer. Laboranternes sikre hænder udfører deres rutiner perfekt, og efterlader ingen plads til overflødige bevægelser. Ved at fokusere på en enkelt handling – overhældningen af en klar væske fra et reagensglas til et andet – forsøger jeg at vise al den menneskelige erfaring, rutine og familiaritet som inkorporeres […]

When listening with the eyes, the laboratory overwhelmed me with rhythm. The rhythm of the steady hands of the lab technicians performing their routines to perfection, leaving no superfluous motion. Focusing on a single movement – emptying the content of one test tube in to another – this video tries to incapsulate the amount of human experience, routine and familiarity […]

I’ve been invited by the philosophy of science group in Gothenburg to give a talk to their Theory of Science seminar group on Friday, 3 February — titled ”Mundane Design vs. Fine Sci-Art: Two Realms of Aesthetic Practice in Science Communication”. Here’s the abstract: Sci-art has become an increasingly important dimension of science communication through printed […]

Det er prisværdigt at låneren har passet så godt på den siden den yngste søns fødsel på Øresundshospitalet i 1967. Bagsidens uegennyttige indsats […]
