A colleague and I wrote an article on young people’s encounters with nature in which we quote a young girl saying that nature makes her “feel smaller in a good way”. Nature puts her life into perspective, and her fears of failure seem more manageable. Read here.

Før jeg for alvor stempler ind som jobsøgende på LinkedIn, prøver jeg lige her, hvor jeg trods alt føler mig mere hjemmevant med faglighed og skarpe holdninger - i en skøn kombination.

Jeg søger i det storkøbenhavnske og på Sjælland. Har gode erfaringer med undervisning, vejledning og analyser.

Discovered an urban regeneration project recently that I’m amazed I hadn’t heard of before.

In the 1960’s, Odense built a four lane motorway (Thomas B. Thriges Gade) through the city, cutting it in half. “It's all gone a bit Odense” became a Danish phrase to mean that things had ground to a halt.

Ny forskning om mistrivsel i ungdomslivet: I denne artikel undersøger Mette Lykke Nielsen og jeg, hvilke oplevelser af mistrivsel unge har i overgangen fra hjemme- til udeboende, og hvordan de formes af deres forskellige livssituationer og sociomaterielle ressourcer. www.scup.com/doi/10.18261...
Mistrivsel, acceleration og præstationskultur i unges overgang fra hjemme- til udeboende

“It’s extremely alarming that grants that have been vetted by the scientific community and deemed important and impactful to understand the world are now being cancelled because of political ideology,” says @lkfazio.bsky.social.

“This is direct censorship of scientific research.”
Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.
