Lokalet er fyldt og Anna er nu godt i gang med sin præsentation. Hun fokuserer på den store fare svampe kan udgøre i naturen og miljøet - i samspil med menneskeskabte strukturer. Svampe gør uforudsete ting i antropocæn. Mennesker og ikke-mennesker er indbyrdes forbundne 🍄

I've worked in a lot of different sciences and what I've discovered is that each science is its own slightly bizarre alternate reality where the scientific method turned out differently.

Den danske samling er verdens største, men etikken bag indsamlingen var slet ikke i orden 🧠
Samlingen er blevet reddet flere gange - senest i 2018 af @SyddanskUni og @OUHhospital

'It can't be done here. We are not Amsterdam.'
If Amsterdam would have said that in the 70s it would still be a car dominated city. Where there is political will, there is a way!

Trying a horrible experiment...
Which will the Twitter algorithm pick: Mitch McConnell or Barack Obama?

New 1Y postdoc position open! Looking for a candidate to work on the intellectual history of (global) inequality in Argentina (/maybe connected with ECLAC). Read about our project and team here: global-inequality.com/projec…

Recommendations for good histories of inheritable disease, please. Could be both individual diseases, or of the idea of inheritability more generally. Thanks!

Corona-karantænen er over os! Studerende og videbegærlige kan bruge tiden på at få styr på videnskabsteoretiske kernebegreber på akademiskdannelse.dk.

If you could pick an intellectual/researcher/politician/activist/writer/artist anywhere in the world,
and ask her or him 5 questions about global inequality, who would you ask?
+: Would you like to read a book with such interviews?

I spend hours each week reading coronavirus coverage, and I *still* walked away from this @jameshamblin story with a clearer understanding of what makes this outbreak unique.

Time for a thesis thread. #phdchat #phdlife
I'm a historian of medical science. My PhD-thesis is on a Danish collection of 9.479(!!) pathological brains. I deal with technologies, knowledge forms, ethical issues, and public imaginations of brain collection. Photo: Kim Kejlberg

On this #FellowFriday, I’ll be focusing on the humans— the ones behind the glass, and the ones that took part in getting them there— in an effort to help you de-spook and high-empathize. Allow me to make these bodies undead for you, these humans with many stories to tell us.

Hello @SciHistoryInstitute followers! My name is Sara Ray— @kappapej— and I’m a fellow here at the Institute plugging away on my dissertation, “Monsters in the Cabinet.” Today, I’m bringing us into Halloween weekend with a subject near to my heart: anatomical preparations.
