Hvordan laver man en app? Altså, sådan et af de programmer, som vi efterhånden alle bruger dagligt på vores smartphones. Vi har på museet leget med tanker om forskellige initiativer til mobile enheder, og i sidste uge var jeg til et seminar hos ODM med overskriften “Planning for Mobile” ledet af Loic Tallon. I museumverden […]

Gold are planning an edited volume tentatively titled Academic Museums, to be published by MuseumsEtc. next summer. The volume shall examine successful strategies, tactics and activities within the academic museum community internationally, and the editors are particularly interested in innovative practical experiences that can be applied within the wider museum community Their call […]

Det var da et helt fantastisk valg af billede til gårsdagens pressemeddelelse om oprettelsen af Kulturstyrelsen! På en subtil måde illustrerer det problemet med den statslige styring af kulturen. Solen er på vej ned, frosten lægger sig over kulturlandskabet. Er der en ny istid på vej? Teksten til pressemeddelelsen lyder: Kulturstyrelsen er navnet på den nye styrelse under […]

Netdoctor.co.uk, Netdoktor.dk, Netdoktor.de. The “online doctor” websites come in several different languages and are open to all. A social network called DoctorsOnly.dk is a different version of a forum for discussing medical issues and seeking expert help. As reads it is however only open to doctors. At netdoktor.dk people can read static pages on lots […]

Last week the Walker Art Center launched a brand new website. It’s a pretty nice looking site and I definitely encourage you to drop by. The site reminds you of a newspaper and features stories not only from the Center, but also from other sources. Seb Chan has talked with the people behind the new site: […]

As written previously on this blog a number of surgeries have already invited Twitter into the operating room, for example by Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center who live-tweeted from a brain surgery. Rex Healthcare in Raleigh, North Carolina have now joined the club by […]

Følger man Medicinsk Museion på Facebook, kan man i december måned dagligt blive opdateret på et lille biomedicinsk juleeventyr. Vi har ladet os inspirere af en anden kendt julefortælling, men skal for en god ordens skyld sige, at vores historie er fuldstændig opdigtet. Julemedikalenderen kan også åbnes dagligt på denne adresse: http://adventcalendr.com/julemedikalender/

Med indlægget: Det kunstige lys, afslutter jeg min føljeton om lysets nedbrydende energi på museumsgenstandene i Medicinsk Museions nyligt åbnede udstilling: BALANCE OG STOFSKIFTE. I mit forrige indlæg: Dagslyset, fortalte jeg om de bevaringsmæssige tiltag mod dagslyset fra vinduerne i de to udstillingsrum, idet vinduer i museal sammenhæng er til for udsigtens skyld og ikke […]

It’s easy to become so enthusiastic about the power of web-based media for science communication that one sometimes forgets that science could actually, in some mysterious ways, be communicated even in the age before World Wide Web, blogs and Twitter. Overly enthusiasm calls for historical reflection — which is exactly what the organisers of the second annual Anglo-French Conference on Scientific Communication and its […]
