It is great to have Greg Radick visit Copenhagen for the Metabolism Day, where he is giving a talk on “Mendel’s Peas” - really highlighting the value of the history of science and medicine #md25

We all know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but what about “metabolism keeps mitochondria in leash”? Fascinating start to Metabolism Day #md25

Visited the parents’ cottage, and was treated to a cold, wet, and windy (but prettily moonlit) walk on the beach. I’m not sure when we’ve last had any proper sunlight ☁️🌕☁️

Nuuk has a new international airport! When I visited a few years ago I had a layover in Kangerlussuaq before flying to Nuuk - that meant I was able to book a guided tour to the inland ice. The new airport is sure to change the tourist landscape in many ways. Exciting!

It was a pleasure to participate in the Metabolism in Action, where we contributed with a hands-on object based learning session using a small timekeeper which was used by danish medical caregivers in the 1950s and 60s.

I’m at the gorgeous Favrholm campus for the Metabolism In Action conference (a Novo Nordisk Foundation Science Cluster event). The Medical Museion is contributing with an object learning session later today

I was recently in Bengaluru, India, where I met with the amazing folks at the Science Gallery Bengaluru, the Museum of Art and Photography, NIMHANS and BIC (and many more!).

Some 14 years ago, I worked the Aarhus University booth at the Bright Green expo during COP15 in Copenhagen. Everyone seemed so full of hope and excitement - as if the climate summit was actually going to change things. Now with COP28 under way it feels more like stalling for time we never had.

My thermal running tights were no match for the icy wind today - I think I’ll have to shelve my ocean running route until spring… But it sure is pretty out! ❄️

Halloween is really taking off in Denmark, and has now surpassed the old trick or treating holiday ‘fastelavn’ (carnival), according to grocery store surveys. When I was a kid, Halloween was a niche holiday - it’s funny how things change! I love it, and our neighbourhood goes all out!

I had the opportunity to visit the Humboldt Forum in Berlin recently. Parts of the ethnological exhibitions have been redone/made with the aim of decolonialism as methodological practice, and it was thought provoking to see the contrast to the ‘traditionally’ curated sections.

It’s super windy, so there was lots of sea glass at the beach today! I often wonder if the glass we find at the beach here comes from the danish or swedish side of the water

23c, bright sun and a light breeze - it’s a perfect mild summer day at the beach …except it’s almost October 🤯

My lunchtime walk was beautiful again today. It’s finally starting to feel like autumn - a big change from last weekend’s bikini weather to this weekend’s wellies and coats.

My lunchtime walk was particularly beautiful today. Living by the ocean is amazing.

It was amazing to watch the sun burn through the heavy fog this morning. It’s supposed to be very hot later today
