Urtemedicin er ikke uskyldige lægemidler. Man kan se hos den græske læge Dioscorides fra 1.årh.e.Kr. at han bygger på mange generationers dyrekøbte erfaringer.

Productivity in research is usually measured in terms of number of publications, number of citations, journal impact factors, etc. — and these measures are in turn a major precondition for securing research grants. But perhaps we’re measuring the wrong things, asks Kent Anderson (the scholarly kitchen). Perhaps we should measure instead how many results have been replicated. He […]

A login on Twitter is one of my morning routines – you never know if a tweet may influence the agenda of your day and today I thought I’d share a small Twitter moment with you. This morning I came across a tweet that triggered my Health Information System past and former WHO/Health Metrics Network employer status. […]

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 […]

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: […]

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 […]

Kan man bruge virus til at bekæmpe virus? Ja, siger forskere fra California Institute of Technology i Pasadena, der i en Nature-artikel netop i dag – dagen før World AIDS Day –  har offentliggjort, hvordan de ved hjælp af en harmløs virus har gjort mus resistente over for HIV-infektion. Der er tale om en alternativ strategi […]

My online-public-health-discussion-facilitator-legs have now taken their first steps – and I survived it and would even call it succesful. It is definitely not a discussion that will stand out in history, but it was useful for me and I believe a good introduction of the potential of using social media at seminars, to the people […]

How many of your colleagues are on Twitter? If you are a scholar it would be around 1 in 40 – that is at least the conclusion made by Jason Priem, an investigator of new measures of scholarly impact on the social Web from University of North Carolina. Some of the conclusion from his research […]

So, on Friday I will for the first time be trying out my online-public-health-discussion-facilitator-legs. I have never tried this before and must admit that I am still a little bit in the dark on how to go about it. I have a few times in real life and in informal manors facilitated discussions, but I […]
