Den 12. april afholder CPH PIX, i samarbejde med os, et arrangement i vores smukke, gamle auditorium. Lars von Triers film Epidemic har 25 års jubilæum, og hvad kunne være passende end at vise den i et rum, hvor generationer af kirurger og læger er blevet uddannet, og hvor kroppen og dens sygdomme er blevet […]

I morgen, fredag, skal jeg til symposium om web-tv/online video i kultur- og museumsformidling. Vi skal blandt andet inspireres af garvede web-videofolk folk fra Tate og MoMA, samt online-videomagasinet cranetv. Desuden vil vi blive præsenteret for nogle danske eksempler på brug af web-tv (dog udenfor en museumskontekst). Program og deltagerliste findes her. Symposiet er arrangeret af Statens Museum for […]

I morgen er det tid til Kroppen i balance (læs mere her og her). Efter guldmalede akupunkturfigurer og igler i sprit, skal vi i dag se på den moderne lægevidenskabs forsøg på at forstå sundhed og sygdom på molekylært niveau. Billedet forestiller to forskellige slags genchips, der bruges til genetiske undersøgelser i laboratoriet. Til at […]

Sådan lyder overskriften på en artikel på Videnskab.dk, der henviser til et nyt, spændende arbejde udført af forskere fra KU. Den videnskabelige artikel bag arbejdet er netop blevet publiceret i Cell Metabolism og viser interessante fund inden for epigenetik. Men – overskriften på Videnskab.dk er problematisk af flere årsager. For det første er der ikke noget […]

We here at the Medical Museion are a diverse group of academics, curators, administrators, tour guides and other help and support staff. Perhaps one thing that ties us together is that we all engage with social media in one way or another at work. But what happens to that dynamic when we step foot inside […]

Next week, Steve Fuller (Dept of Sociology, University of Warwick) and Chris Renwick (Dept of History, University of York) will discuss ‘The Biological Challenge to the Social Sciences’ in Warwick: The social and biological sciences came into existence in the second half of the 19th century and have always pursued partly overlapping agendas. No one […]

I recently received a very nice and official looking email from a journal calling itself Sociology Study, published by David Publishing Company, USA, telling me that they had noticed that I had given a named paper at a named conference and that they would be interested in publishing this paper as an article if I […]

Ville du dele dit genom med resten af verden? Inden du svarer på spørgsmålet, læs lige her. OpenSNP er et non-profit projekt som tilstræber at samle så mange genotyping-resultater som muligt og at gøre dem tilgængelige for forskere og andre som skulle have interesse i dem. Dataene oploades af interesserede sammen med en valgfri mængde fænotypiske […]

Public Health is a broad field, and finding ones place in the palette of colours that public health consists of is tricky. I have been around many corners ranging from international health, health statistics and information systems to planning of care, health policy and governance. And lately public health communication. I don’t know if I […]

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 […]

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 […]
