Kris Schürch is PhD student in my research group @ispm.unibe.ch.
We are interested to learn about people’s perceptions on smoking, including newer products. If you live in Switzerland and you or one of your parents were born outside the country - please participate!

It was a busy week at EASS Warsaw.

I ran a publishing workshop, journal highlights, and my colleague Michelle Skov Blagdon presented our work on ID sport.

And I presented our consensus statements on workplace HEPA programmes (to be found here;) doi.org/10.1080/1613...

Spent an excellent day talking about creativity at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.

Much to ponder…

Oh Sheffield United!

Only ourselves to blame 😞

Good luck to Sunderland in the prem - you’re gonna need it!

I discovered a little plaque to a notable alumnus.

Ole Rømer demonstrated light travels at finite speed, and invented a new thermometer attuned to water (freezing and boiling points).

It’s humbling sometimes to work at the same institution as such scientists.

The Icelandic weeds (Lupins) are in full bloom…

The blooms attract the bees…

And the bees attract my young, confident and very inquisitive Dalmatian…

Who is at risk of learning a hard lesson 🐝 😳

I like to understand my environment. In this park, for example, you can’t cycle, play golf with a tennis ball or a football, grill or listen to the radio, swing from a tree like a monkey in winter, carry flowers, or be a dog

As far as I can tell, you can walk quietly past all the other killjoys.

Sad day today, as we bid farewell to my daughter’s playhouse ‘Noll Slumbrs.’

She decorated it with her 4 year old’s handprints, with her little table, chairs, flower carpet, strawberry pots and butterfly decorations 👐🦋

Still, the place will keep its name, and become her vegetable garden 🪏 🪴🫜👩‍🌾

It’s a fine day for some open water swimming!

Every year, we book a day of brilliant sunshine in May to take our ‘Fra Vandbasis til Svømning’ (from water basis to swimming) bachelors students to Amager strandpark to try out some new skills!

Tak også til #Trygfonden for deres støtte 🛟🏊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

I’m about to take part (as an examiner) in a PhD defence in the Basque Country. Very exciting!

It’s Pre-PhD defence, and I find myself with a moment to collect my thoughts.

Before we hear about habits, motives and barriers to leisure time physical activity amongst women in Gipuzkoa!

I’m spending the day in the verdant (and very rainy) Vitoria Gasteiz.

Well, I suppose it is near the Costa Verde - and that area must get its name for a reason!

Off to the university shortly, to prepare for a thesis defence…

I’m heading out again…but where to this time?

Somewhere new and exciting…a place with a completely unique language and culture, and somewhere I haven’t been before, to do something I haven’t done before…

Should be fun!

Spring has definitely sprung at the university. Yeah I know, it comes late to the Nordics! But when it arrives, the natural world accelerates to catch up…🐣🪺🌷

And, apparently, the students start stripping off to use the green gym outside my office window 🤨

Very Scandinavian, I’m sure!

I’m 23 today, for the 20th year in a row!

Very consistent 🤓

The team came to say congrats for surviving another year, and I’m thankful that it’s sunny ☀️

Off to the lovely Frederiksberg campus this morning, for the ‘UCPH forward’ meeting 4.

Covering resilience today - hope I’m tough enough! 🤷🏻💪

Recently, I and the partners in the Work Move & Perf project gathered in Sofia 🇧🇬​, for our 3rd steering committee meeting! 🇪🇺​

The project is a scientific study analyzing the effects of physical activity on employee #productivity and #wellbeing in the #workplace.

The boy’s enjoying the spring weather…🐶

He’s a big 1️⃣ next week. Time flies! 😲

We’re almost there with the ‘Love is All’ project, an @euerasmusplus.bsky.social funded sport development project for athletes with intellectual disabilities

Incredible work including toolkits for events, grassroots development, coaching and life skills development.
