Eksperter advarer: Fjerning av KRLE kan gi kunnskapshull
Kunnskapsministeren foreslår å kutte ut faget i småskoletrinnet. Forsker Kari Krogstad fulgte KRLE-undervisningen i en klasse i tre år og advarer mot å fjerne faget.

as an MIT-trained science writer: being willing to ask dumb questions is a superpower
The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

I increasingly feel that many individuals in Norway are moving forward in a green direction, whereas our country is lagging behind due to too much oil consumption. Come on, Norway! If individuals can stop flying, install solar panel on the roof and swap fossil car for an electric car, you can too!
Here's something I bet you didn't know - here in Norway, oil is officially now more popular than onshore wind power. Even offshore wind and solar are dropping, as oil is rising.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
