This problem has became toxic to the researches in the country, and thanks Edvard to make it exposed to the world. Let us hopes things will change!
I was interviewed by @nature.com about the risk of talent exodus following Norway’s new language law. I hope the new government and science minister will change the internationalisation policy ASAP.

Scientists fight Norway’s language law, warning of talent exodus
Mandatory language courses for foreign researchers could harm Norway’s ability to attract the best talent, Nobel laureate says, as rule prompts legal challenge.

Left–right-alternating theta sweeps in entorhinal–hippocampal maps of space - Nature
A study in rats proposes a mechanism for how the brain maps the surrounding environment, including places it has never seen, by alternating left and right forward sweeps in successive theta cycles.

Congratulations to @portugueslab.bsky.social ! Dr. Portugues and his lab is really pushing forward this exciting direction!
Another banger from @portugueslab.bsky.social taking lessons about the structure and organization of navigation circuits from the fly and mapping them in a vertebrate as only they can. Absolutely the lab to watch.
