Lyset. Det er overalt! Det er naturligt, det er kunstigt. Det er synligt, det er usynligt. Det er varmt, det er koldt. Det er godt, det er dårligt. Det er sundt, det er usundt. Det er ufarligt, det er farligt. Det er tillokkende, det er frastødende. Det er rart, det er irriterende. Det er oplivende, […]

Going back in time, looking at old photographs, postcards and letters is something I have always loved doing. And now I find myself going back and reading some of my first posts on this blog. Even though they are still quite new, I still find it amazing to be able to go back and reencounter […]

Some of us here at Medical Museion have been talking about submitting a proposal for a workshop at the annual Swedish STS meeting, which Nina Wormbs, Sabine Höhler and Adam Netzén at the Division of History of Science and Technology are organising at the Royal College of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm 2-4 May next year. The theme for […]

Siden d.2.juli har jeg arbejdet med vandskadede museumsgenstande og arbejdet er slet ikke slut. Det overrasker stadig i sit omfang og hvad det betyder når visse typer af genstande bliver våde. En af de samlinger der stod i en af de oversvømmede kældre, var en del af tør-præparatsamlingen fra Den Saxtorphske Samling. Tør-præparatsamlingen består hovedsageligt […]

Being true to the main focus of this blog on Public Health Sciences Communication 2.0 it is almost obligatory that I recommend this great and extensive literature review headlined “Public Health 2.0”. The comprehensive list of 109 articles has been put together by Dean Giustini and D. Westbrook from University of British Colombia in Canada […]

Inspired by comments to my post about #hcsm, #hcsmeu etc, I have now updated the list with new regional twitter hashtags from Australia & New Zealand, Latin America, Asia and some country specific from Europe. In addition, there is also a #hcsmglobal. You can see the complete and updated list in the previous post. Also […]

Når vi hører eller læser om videnskab i dag er det oftest forklaringer og resultater, vi bliver præsenteret for. Vi kommer kun i kontakt med de videnskabelige højdepunkter: Vi møder altid Videnskaben med stort V og i galakjole. I mine videoer fokuserer jeg på videnskabens hverdag: Ikke på ord og resultater, men på oplevelser og […]

When meeting with science today, we are most often confronted with words and results. We are presented only with the highlights: We only ever meet science in her gala dress. In these videos I focus on the everyday life of science: Not the words and the results, but the experiences and the processes. These 5 very short films […]

The so-called Ingelfinger rule inhibits open science, as biomedical researchers are prohibited from sharing and discussing their results before they are published in mainstream journals. If they do, the journals might refuse to publish them. However, in other areas of science, this is not an issue. The open access repository, arXiv, is used by researchers […]

My idea for organizing the Sensuous Object workshop began over a year ago. It originated with my interest in (re) placing the object as central and focusing on the sensuous object, i.e. how we sense objects, come to know them, are affected by them and their presence, how objects can become outcomes of research, how […]

A few months ago, the meaning of this: #hcsm, #hcsmeu of #hcsmca would have been the greatest mystery to me. I now know of course that they are hashtags(#) for Twitter discussions on topics under the umbrella of health care and social media. The concept is similar to that of the Twitter Journal Clubs. Once […]

I midten af oktober slog Medicinsk Museion, efter mange måneders forberedelser dørene op for den nye udstilling: BALANCE OG STOFSKIFTE. Udstillingen er placeret i de omtalte to nyrestaurerede rum på museet. Når de besøgende træder over dørtærsklen til udstillingen for at lade sig opsluge af udstillingens metaboliske emner, fortalt i et fortidigt og nutidigt regi […]
